Fort Lauderdale Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck):
An abdominoplasty, or "tummy tuck", is a surgical procedure commonly performed in Ft Lauderdale which smoothes, or flattens, the abdominal area. Often, this is accomplished by removing excess skin and fat from the lower and middle portions of the abdomen and tightening the abdominal muscles. As not all abdomens are alike, Dr. Garramone specializes in tailoring the procedure to the particular needs of his patients in Fort Lauderdale. For some patients, who just have laxity of the lower abdomen, a partial or Mini-Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) may be all that is required. For others, who have a wider area of laxity, or more loose skin, a full Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) may be a better choice. An abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) allows Dr. Garramone to remove redundant or lax skin and at the same time tighten the underlying abdominal muscles rejuvenating the appearance of the abdomen. To accomplish this, an incision is made across the lower abdomen at approximately the level of the pubic hair and extends towards either side of the abdomen. Dr. Garramone uses a "bikini line' incision which is well concealed by bikini bottoms or panties.
Following significant weight loss, pregnancy, or just the passage of time, it is common for the skin of the abdomen not to return to its normal contour and quality. Stretch marks may be present. An abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) can produce a significant improvement in these conditions. The surgery usually takes 2 to 3 hours and is performed under general anesthesia in a Fort Lauderdale area Hospital. Patients can gradually return to their normal level of activity and can usually resume exercise 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. Following an Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) there is always a scar from the incision and this fades with time.
Types of Fort Lauderdale Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Dr. Garramone sees each tummy tuck in Ft Lauderdale as a unique opportunity to help his patients achieve their desired improvement. In general, there are 2 types of Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) procedures.
Fort Lauderdale Mini-Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) :
The Mini-Abdominoplasty is the procedure of choice for women whose primary concern is a lower abdominal bulge but do not have much, if any, redundant skin.
Fort Lauderdale Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) :
Dr. Garramone's technique for a Full-Abdominoplasty procedure works very well for patients who have laxity over much of the abdomen, particularly the lower half. An incision is made across the lower abdomen within the bikini line and around the belly button. Dr. Garramone's preference is for this incision to be placed as inconspicuously as possible. This allows Dr. Garramone to essentially rejuvenate the full abdominal area by narrowing the waist, tightening the muscles, and removing redundant tissue.
Dr. Garramone performs all Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) surgeries in a Fort Lauderdale area Hospital and an overnight stay is required.
While patients are generally able to see changes in their appearance shortly after surgery, the results become even more apparent as the swelling subsides. This typically takes several weeks. The results of Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) surgery are permanent. However excessive weight gain or pregnancies can jeopardize the final results.
Dr. Garramone wants you to obtain the results you desire, and he will help you reach your goals in a safe and caring environment. Our Fort Lauderdale Tummy Tucks (Abdominoplasty) are performed in a Hospital or Hospital owned surgical center to give the safest environment for your procedure.
