WHAT IS A TUMMY TUCK?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to
remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the
abdominal muscles. At The Lett Center in Mt. Juliet, TN, this
procedure helps patients achieve a flatter, more toned stomach when
diet and exercise alone are not enough.

REASONS TO CONSIDER A TUMMY TUCK

	* Loss of skin elasticity or loose abdominal muscles due to pregnancy
	* Removal of excess skin and fat for a more flattering look
	* Inability to improve abdominal area through diet and exercise alone
	* Excessive skin accumulation following significant weight loss

THE TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE

Tummy tuck surgery at The Lett Center typically lasts 1-5 hours. The
procedure involves making a horizontal incision above the pubic area,
stretching the skin, removing excess tissue, tightening abdominal
muscles, and closing the incision. In some cases, an additional
incision around the navel may be necessary for optimal results.

RECOVERY AFTER TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

Recovery involves rest and limited movement to promote healing.
Patients can expect some swelling and discomfort, which can be managed
with prescribed medication. Stitches are removed shortly after
surgery, and most patients can resume normal activities within two
weeks. Full adaptation to the new abdominal configuration may take up
to a year.
