Tummy Tuck

TUMMY TUCK

If you’re looking for a better belly you’ve come to the right place. Dr. Spann at Little Rock Plastic Surgery is one of the masters of abdominal surgery. The ever-elusive “six pack” abs has motivated many individuals to countless crunches, or to try the latest “miracle” diet pill. Stubborn fatty deposits in the belly are tough to eliminate with diet and exercise alone. Additionally, many people are frustrated with abdominal skin laxity (loose, hanging skin), which can develop as a result of: genetics, childbirth, hormonal imbalances, age, and dramatic weight gain or loss.

Fortunately, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) surgery offers an effective solution to both fatty deposits and skin laxity in the stomach region, and can be undertaken to improve the appearance of a flabby or protruding stomach and/or to eliminate loose, sagging abdominal skin.  A tummy tuck procedure involves the surgical removal of excess skin and fat from the lower and middle abdominal region (lipoadominoplasty), followed by the tightening of the abdominal musculature, which serves to create an enviably flat, smooth abdomen.

To get the best tummy tuck result select a talented plastic surgeon with strong training, excellent record and strong commitment to body contouring surgery. Look no further for your abdominoplasty than Dr. Spann. He is a double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with a broad scope of knowledge and experience performing abdominoplasty procedures, which he puts to use helping patients achieve the stomach contours they deserve.

Patients choose tummy tucks in Dr. Spann’s Arkansas office for many reasons:

  • Sculpt the waistline
  • Remove loose skin from the abdomen
  • Tighten abdominal muscles
  • Flatten and smooth the abdominal profile
  • Increase self esteem in and out of clothing

TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE AND RECOVERY

Your abdominoplasty will be performed on as outpatient under general anesthesia. During the procedure, Dr. Spann will make a horizontal incision between the belly button and pubis. He uses this to repair the muscles.  Working through the same incision, he will remove excess abdominal skin, fat, and tissue. Some patients may require a repositioning of the belly button to a more aesthetically appropriate location, which Dr. Spann will accomplish via a second incision around the circumference of the navel.

The results of your tummy tuck surgery will be apparent immediately after your procedure, and will continue to improve over the next few months, as any lingering swelling subsides. It is important that you abstain from all vigorous physical activity for at least six weeks, and that you take the necessary time off from work to allow your body to heal properly.
