Tummy Tuck Bethesda
Shed the Inches around Your Waist
Excess fat of the abdomen is a problem that haunts many people. Unfortuntely, diet and excercise often does not improve their profile in this stubborn
area of the body. Even for people who are successful in losing weight, they often find that they are left with skin laxity and a very unattractive
contour with persistent isolated pockets of fat. Fortunately, for these people, there is a surgical solution. Plastic surgeon Roger J. Oldham and his highly trained team routinely achieve
excellent results through abdominoplasty, also known as tummy tuck surgery, at our Bethesda, Maryland plastic surgery
practice.
The tummy tuck procedure has been performed successfully for many years, making it one of the most time-tested cosmetic surgery procedures. Thanks to continuing advances in plastic surgery, patients can now benefit from even more refined, natural-looking results, particularly when the procedure is performed by a surgeon with Dr. Oldham's finely honed aesthetic eye and surgical skills. If you would like to learn more about how you can improve the appearance of your upper body through tummy tuck surgery, perhaps by combining the procedure with some of the other finebody contouring treatments we perform, please contact our Bethesda plastic surgery practice today.
The Tummy Tuck Procedure at a Glance
At our plastic surgery practice, Dr. Oldham tailors every procedure he performs to the specific needs and aesthetic goals of the individual patient. During a confidential consultation with Dr. Oldham, you will have the opportunity to discuss the results you can expect from tummy tuck surgery, the benefits and risks associated with the procedure, and how the surgery can be customized to provide you with the best possible outcome.
The purpose of any tummy tuck procedure performed at our Bethesda practice is to remove excess skin from the mid-abdominal area and to tighten the underlying abdominal muscles. Liposuction is also commonly used to address deposits of fatty tissue, in the abdomen as well as the flanks, or "love handles." The result will be a better toned, more defined abdomen.
Variations on Tummy Tuck Surgery
Tummy tuck surgery can be modified according to the amount of excess skin and fat present in the abdominal area. For some patients, a mini tummy tuck will achieve the desired result. This variation on traditional abdominoplasty requires smaller incisions and a less involved procedure. As a result, the healing time is usually shorter. Traditional tummy tuck surgery involves longer incisions, but may also produce a more dramatic transformation of the abdomen.
Anatomic features among men and women are quite different and the surgery is customized to accommodate those variations. The aesthetic goals of males and females are also different, so Dr. Oldham employs varied surgical approaches to fulfill these goals. Many women who undergo tummy tuck choose also to undergo breast reduction, breast lift or breast augmentation as part of a more comprehensive body contouring plan.
