Tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, is designed to firm and smooth the abdomen, remove excess abdominal skin, reduce fat, and tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. Tummy tuck is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in Rhode Island, especially for women who are finished having children or have lost a significant amount of weight. Unless there is significant weight gain or the patient becomes pregnant, the abdomen should remain firmer and flatter for many years.

There are many variations both to the design of the incisions and the tummy tuck technique itself. A horizontal incision is usually placed just above the pubic area. If a patient has loose skin above the navel, the plastic surgeon may make an incision around the navel so that redundant skin above it can be pulled down. The procedure may include tightening of the underlying abdominal muscles using sutures. Sometimes liposuction may be used alone, or in conjunction with abdominoplasty, to remove abdominal fat.

Be are honest with your plastic surgeon about your medical history and your goals for the surgery, and choose a surgeon who is experienced and qualified to perform tummy tuck in Rhode Island. No surgery is without some level of risk, and your surgeon should explain all of the side effects and possible risks prior to surgery.

2. Is the facility where my surgery will take place an accredited facility?
3. What exactly can I expect during and after tummy tuck surgery?
4. Are there any alternatives to tummy tuck that I should be aware of?
5. May I see before and after photos of other Rhode Island patients who have already had tummy tuck?
