TUMMY TUCK

The tummy tuck has consistently been one of the top five procedures among both men and women yearly. The procedure is designed to shape and sculpt the abdomen by removing excess skin and tightening separated six-pack muscles. A Tummy tuck is often performed at the same time as liposuction or breast enhancement procedures. All three together is commonly known as a “mommy makeover.”

Why consider a tummy tuck?

 

The primary goal of a tummy tuck is to enhance self-confidence, whether you're donning swimwear, evening attire, or everyday clothing. Dr. Chow specializes in advanced techniques that minimize scarring and optimize your body's contours. Here at Plastic Surgery of Austin, our aim is to help you take pride in your naturally improved appearance and revitalized physique.

Following substantial weight loss or pregnancy, it's common to have excess abdominal skin, and the six-pack muscles may become separated in the middle, a condition known as rectus diastasis. Regrettably, these issues, whether excess skin or muscle separation, typically do not respond to diet or exercise. Surgical intervention is often the most effective and appropriate solution.

Who makes a good candidate for an Austin tummy tuck?

The best way to determine if a tummy tuck is right for you is to schedule your private consultation with Dr. Chow in the privacy of his Austin, Texas office.

He will spend the time to understand your unique needs and concerns, and discuss all of the best treatment options for you. At Plastic Surgery of Austin, we believe a good decision is a fully-informed decision. In general, good candidates for a tummy tuck are:

  • Suffering from loose, sagging skin in the stomach area

  • Suffering from weakened or separated abdominal muscles

  • Finding that diet and exercise is not an effective solution for their concerns

  • At or close to their ideal body weight

  • Not planning on getting pregnant in the future

  • In good mental and physical health

  • With a positive, realistic expectation of outcomes

How does Dr. Chow achieve natural tummy tuck results?

Dr. Chow strives to create a result that looks organic regardless of what clothes you wear and what activity you perform. Instead of merely pulling the stomach skin flat, Dr. Chow delivers natural definition and sculpting of the lower body that appears innate and unforced. The transitions in your abdomen are smooth and seamless, and the skin stays firm yet supple. The stomach muscles are tightened, and the scar is beautifully hidden within the bikini line where it is unnoticeable. Combining scientific acumen with consummate artistry, Dr. Chow is able to make you look more youthful and energized without sacrificing nuance.

The appearance of your belly button is a crucial element affecting the naturalness of your tummy tuck results. Given its prominent location on the stomach, any irregularities in this area can be easily noticeable. Reshaping the belly button correctly following abdominoplasty is of paramount importance, and it's an aspect of your surgery that Dr. Chow approaches with great care and consideration.

Signs of a tummy tuck that has not been performed optimally often include a belly button that appears either too large or overly stretched, or is positioned too high or too low on the stomach. Dr. Chow, as a skilled plastic surgeon, customizes your belly button contouring to harmonize with your unique body, avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach.
