Abdominoplasty in Miami, FL | Jeffrey J Gibson MD

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

A tummy tuck is a transformative surgical procedure designed to tighten the abdominal muscle wall and remove excess skin, creating a flat, toned stomach. Pregnancy, obesity, and aging can often leave behind stubborn abdominal skin and muscle laxity that diet and exercise cannot fully address.

Tummy Tuck Procedure Types

Dr. Gibson offers three specialized tummy tuck techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

• Standard/Classic Abdominoplasty
• Modified Classic Abdominoplasty
• Mini-Abdominoplasty

Surgical Technique Highlights

During each procedure, Dr. Gibson utilizes advanced techniques to minimize scarring and create natural-looking results. A unique approach includes specialized stitching to create a younger, more aesthetically pleasing belly button.

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

The most suitable candidates for a tummy tuck typically include:

• Individuals with loosened abdominal muscles
• Patients near their ideal body weight
• Individuals in good overall health
• Non-smokers or those willing to quit smoking
• Patients with excess abdominal skin and fat

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect a gradual recovery process, typically returning to light activities within days and full recovery within 6-8 weeks. Wearing a compression garment and following post-operative instructions are crucial for optimal healing and results.

Long-Term Outcomes

Maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise routine will help preserve the tummy tuck results, ensuring a lasting, sculpted abdominal contour.
