If an unattractive midsection is not responding to your diet and exercise efforts, one possible solution may be tummy tuck surgery. Plano cosmetic surgeon Robert D. Wilcox, M.D. from Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Center of Texas can perform this procedure to help you reach your goal of a slender, firm abdomen.
Patients appreciate that our surgeon is well qualified and trained. He is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), and holds surgical privileges at reputable Texas hospitals. More importantly, he has provided excellent tummy tuck surgery results to countless patients like you.
When it concerns tummy tuck surgery, also known as “abdominoplasty,” Plano's Dr. Wilcox wants candidates to be fully informed before making a commitment. Therefore, he offer you the following synopsis of the procedure:
The duration of complete abdominoplasty is typically two to five hours, depending on the degree of correction required. After making a long incision from hipbone to hipbone (just above the pubic area), and a second incision near the navel, our Plano tummy tuck surgery specialist will address the bothersome excess fat that you wish to eliminate.
Next, the vertical muscles that are often stretched out following weight changes or childbirth will be tightened. This is accomplished by pulling them close together and stitching them into their new position. Finally, the skin that is now unnecessary because of your reduced waistline will be removed, and your navel will be adjusted accordingly.
Following their recoveries, the majority of patients are incredibly satisfied with their results, particularly if they have been properly maintained through diet and exercise. For a sampling of potential outcomes, take a moment to view our before and after plastic surgery photos.
