UNDERSTANDING ABDOMINOPLASTY IN SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA

Are you self-conscious of loose, sagging abdominal skin? Pregnancy,
weight loss, and genetics can contribute to stubborn skin laxity that
impacts self-confidence. An abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, offers a
transformative solution for individuals seeking body contouring near
Pittsburgh.

WHAT IS ABDOMINOPLASTY?

Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to tighten and remove
redundant skin while restoring a flatter, more contoured abdominal
profile. Dr. Pautler customizes each tummy tuck to address individual
patient needs, often combining the procedure with liposuction to
enhance overall body sculpting.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

 	* Surgical duration: Up to three hours
	* Anesthesia: General anesthesia
	* Recovery: Typically 4-6 weeks
	* Compression garment required: 4-6 weeks

TYPES OF ABDOMINOPLASTY

FULL ABDOMINOPLASTY

A comprehensive procedure addressing skin and muscle laxity above and
below the navel. Ideal for patients with significant skin excess and
muscle separation, often resulting from multiple pregnancies or
substantial weight loss.

MINI ABDOMINOPLASTY

A less extensive procedure focusing on the lower abdominal region.
Suitable for patients with minimal skin laxity primarily below the
belly button and good muscle tone.

CANDIDATE CRITERIA FOR ABDOMINOPLASTY

 	* Adults in good overall health
	* Non-smokers

	* Desire to address: 

 	* Loose, sagging abdominal skin
	* Protruding belly bulge
	* Excess fat deposits
	* Stretched or distorted belly button

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Dr. Pautler strongly emphasizes smoking cessation before and after
surgery. Nicotine can significantly impair wound healing and increase
surgical risks. Patients are advised to stop smoking at least three
months before and six weeks after the planned procedure.

SURGICAL CONSULTATION

During the consultation, Dr. Pautler will carefully assess your
individual anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and develop a
personalized surgical plan. She recommends bringing a bikini bottom or
preferred garment to help design incisions that will be strategically
hidden.
