Ten Ways a Tummy Tuck can Change Your Life!

by Ellen Mahony

A popular body contouring procedure requested by patients in and around the community of Westport, CT is that of the tummy tuck. The tummy tuck surgery, also known as an abdominoplasty, is performed to remove both excess fat and excess skin from the abdomen, where patients tend to have fat accumulate. Removing the skin also ensures a tightened and toned stomach ready for the beach! 

What happens during a tummy tuck? 

A tummy tuck is a combination of liposuction and skin removal. First, Dr. Ellen Mahony uses liposuction to remove unwanted fat in the area, especially in the front of the stomach and along the sides, called the flanks. This is done using a long cannula that suctions out the fat cells for permanent removal. Once this is complete, excess skin is removed. This is achieved through an incision along the stomach that is positioned low to reduce the appearance of scarring when wearing underwear or a bikini swimsuit. Excess skin is removed, and the area is sutured for healing. Patients can lose a dramatic amount of fat with this treatment. It is crucial that patients understand that the tummy tuck is not a solution for weight loss, though many patients lose a few pounds of fat during the process. The tummy tuck is best described as a body contouring procedure for adult men and women who are already within their ideal weight range and are seeking targeted fat and skin removal.
