Austin Tummy Tucks

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty surgery, is a procedure designed to remove extra skin and fat from the midsection, revealing a slimmer and sleeker silhouette. Most of our Austin tummy tuck patients are individuals who have stretched skin around their waistline after weight loss or child birth. This surgery is the most effective solution to tightening stretched abdominal muscles and sculpting a toned tummy appearance.

Many of our Austin tummy tuck patients come to us seeking liposuction to restore their midsection to its former state, before pregnancy or weight fluctuation took its toll. However, liposuction alone is often not sufficient enough to address the problem. Liposuction will help remove excess fat and eliminate stubborn fat deposits; it will not however help the individual with excessive stretched out lax skin that hangs from the stomach. For this, a tummy tuck procedure is usually required.

What Does a Tummy Tuck Do?

You may have dropped the pounds and reached your goal weight, however, you realize when looking in the mirror that you still haven’t achieved your desired shape. The stomach is often the hardest area to tone. No matter how many crunches you do, exercise just won’t tighten lax tummy skin or abdominal muscles that have been stretched beyond the limits of natural repair.

An Austin tummy tuck procedure can:

Help streamline and sculpt a patient’s midsection by removing stubborn, diet-resistant fat that tends to accumulate in the lower abdomen.
Remove excess or sagging skin from the stomach region.
Tighten and repair damaged abdominal muscles that have been stretched and weakened during pregnancy.

Tummy tucks may also be used in conjunction with other plastic surgery procedures and are a popular component of the "Mommy Makeover", which combines liposuction with breast lift, plus implants.

How is a Tummy Tuck Performed?

At Personique, our Austin tummy tucks are performed on both men and women, with amazing results. Along with liposuction and breast augmentation, tummy tucks are one of the top cosmetic surgery procedures performed in the U.S. (Breast Augmentation is 1st).

There are several variations of abdominoplasty surgery, ranging from mini to full tummy tuck. The technique that will best suit you will depend largely on the amount of excess skin and fat to be removed. During your Austin tummy tuck consultation, your plastic surgeon will be able to determine which method will achieve the best results for you.

After anesthesia has been administered, a horizontal incision is made below the bikini area. The length of the incision will also depend on the extent of the surgery and can usually be hidden by most swimsuits and undergarments.
Sutures are then placed in the fascia of the abdominal muscles in order to pull separated six-pack muscles back together in a tighter position at the body’s midline.
Once the muscles have been repaired, your surgeon will remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen area.
The remaining abdominal skin is then pulled downward and a new hole for the belly button is fashioned. Once this is complete, the skin is secured and all incisions are closed up.
The result is a tighter, flatter mid-section.
Most tummy tuck procedures are usually performed on an out-patient basis.
