Why get a tummy tuck?

The abdomen naturally tends to loosen and pooch as a part of aging, after a pregnancy, or when we gain weight. Unfortunately, it does not naturally reduce very easily. And sometimes, sagging, loose skin remains after we lose weight. If you have tried a healthy diet, targeted exercise or other procedures, but this trouble area continues to persist, it can be frustrating. An abdominoplasty in Las Vegas directly targets these concerns and dramatically improves your abdominal area. This procedure can also be done with liposuction to address extra fat pockets that you haven’t been able to reduce on your own.

What is a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that targets stubborn fat and loose skin on the abdomen. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the muscle below is tightened with sutures. This firms and shapes the waist and tummy, giving an attractive, contoured appearance.

Tummy tuck techniques and options

Full: During a full, or traditional, tummy tuck, Dr. Parker will make an incision across the lower abdomen at the underwear line. This places the scar in a way that allows it to be hidden by a bathing suit or underwear. The skin is pulled downward and tightened, which includes removing excess skin and fat. He may also use liposuction to remove excess fat. Dr. Parker then tightens the muscles with strong, permanent sutures to contour and shape the abdominal area. The belly button will be expertly recreated to have a natural look.
Mini: Some patients don’t require as much correction in their abdominal areas than others. For those who have less severe loose skin beneath the belly button, this procedure is often the best choice. The mini tummy tuck tightens loose skin and fat only beneath the belly button area and does not require a new belly button to be created.
Reverse: This procedure is designed for those with excess upper abdominal skin. During a reverse tummy tuck, Dr. Parker makes an incision in the crease below the breasts, which hides the scars well. Other procedures such as a breast lift can be easily combined using the same incision as the reverse abdominoplasty. To reshape the upper abdominal area, Dr. Parker will remove the excess skin that is hanging laterally. He redrapes the remaining skin and secures it tightly along the sides of the torso to create a smoother, tighter contour.
Extended: An extended tummy tuck is the same procedure as the full procedure, but uses a longer incision that extends further than the hip bones so that the flanks (love handles) can also be tightened and sculpted.

Getting a tummy tuck after pregnancy or weight loss

After pregnancy or significant weight loss, the belly skin can hang down--a condition also known as pannus stomach or “mother’s apron.” When this occurs, the belly and fat can often hang below the genitals. This condition can cause back pain and make proper hygiene difficult. There is a specific abdominoplasty done to address this called a panniculectomy. The panniculectomy removes the hanging skin and fat to improve personal hygiene, prevent infections and alleviate pain. Because it is a medical necessity for many patients, it is often covered by medical insurance.

Am I a Candidate?

During your consultation, Dr. Parker will examine you and discuss your concerns and your vision of how you want your abdomen to look to determine whether a tummy tuck is the right procedure for you. Patients in Las Vegas who meet the following requirements may be ideal candidates for a tummy tuck:

Physically healthy
Realistic expectations about what abdominoplasty can achieve
Are at a stable weight you feel you can maintain.
Nonsmoker
Have excess, loose skin or fat pockets in the abdominal area
Have severely weakened or separated stomach muscles
Are unhappy with the aesthetic appearance of your abdomen
