Full & Mini Tummy Tuck

Abdominoplasty, also known as a "tummy tuck," is one of the most popular procedures both nationwide and at Dr. Mahony's plastic surgery practice in Connecticut. Tummy tuck surgery helps women and men reshape and tighten their stomach appearance, picking up when a healthy diet and regular exercise may have fallen a little short.

Abdominoplasty in Connecticut

Anyone who is looking for a flatter, tighter stomach may want to consider an abdominoplasty procedure. Tummy tucks are common body contouring procedures performed by Dr. Ellen Mahony at her practice in Westport, Connecticut. An abdominoplasty is designed to remove excess skin from the waist and abdomen, and tighten abdominal muscles that have been stretched and weakened over time. While an abdominoplasty procedure alone will not remove a sizeable volume of fat from the abdomen, when combined with liposuction in Connecticut, the procedure can remove a significant amount of fat and skin for most patients.

At Dr. Mahony's Westport, Connecticut practice, abdominoplasty surgery removes and reshapes loose skin. The ideal candidate is usually someone who has lost an excessive amount of weight (including through gastric bypass), or women whose abdominal muscles and skin have been stretched and weakened by pregnancy or age. Men who are self-conscious about their "spare tire" are also excellent candidates for a tummy tuck in Connecticut with Dr. Mahony. Sometimes a pubic lift is considered to restore shape and postion of the groin area in both men and women.

Mini Tummy Tuck

Some patients with less excess skin and muscle weakening in their abdomen will not require a full abdominoplasty, and may be better suited for a "mini" tummy tuck. At her Westport practice, Dr. Mahony can perform a less invasive version of the Connecticut abdominoplasty procedure with minimal scarring and significantly less skin removal. A mini tummy tuck is an excellent choice for patients who want to define their waistline and tighten their lower abdomen.

The mini tummy tuck procedure is less invasive than a full abdominoplasty, has less recovery time, and is ideal for patients with minimal skin overhang in the lower abdomen. A full tummy tuck, performed at a local surgical center, remains the best choice for patients with muscle weakening across the upper and lower abdomen, and a large amount of excess skin.
