Tummy Tuck in Dallas

Tummy Tuck in Dallas

Tummy tuck in Dallas or Abdominoplasty is typically performed to remove excess abdominal skin and tighten underlying muscles. Abdominoplasty is often performed in combination with liposuction to achieve the ideal aesthetic contour. This operation is often performed in conjunction with abdominal hernia repairs, gynecologic procedures, and C-sections. The popular “Mommy Makeover” also generally involves a tummy tuck, in addition to breast augmentation, breast reduction, or breast lift. A tummy tuck addresses excess skin resistance to diet and exercise, and Dr. Azouz helps patients recover an aesthetic figure performing a tummy tuck in Dallas. Request an appointment with Dr. Azouz by calling 972 702 8888.

Am I candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

For patients with excess skin or fatty tissue in the abdominal area either due to pregnancy, significant weight loss, or have problem areas resistant to diet and exercise, are the ideal candidates for a tummy tuck in Dallas, this plastic surgery procedure will help patients to obtain a more aesthetic and attractive figure.

Tummy tuck benefits

  • Remove skin and eliminate stretch marks from the abdomen
  • Tightens muscles
  • Well-defined stomach

Types of Abdominoplasty

Depending on the amount of correction that the patient desires, Dr. Azouz may suggest a specific type of abdominoplasty for a more customized solution. The differentiating factors between the three types of abdominoplasty are the type of incision and sutures.

Full Abdominoplasty

In addition to the horizontal incision below the lower abdomen, a full tummy tuck will also involve an incision around the navel. A full tummy tuck will remove excess skin while also pulling the muscles and skin to a tighter position. This tummy tuck is essentially classic and commonly used to correct pregnancy or weight gain and loss issues.

Mini Abdominoplasty

A mini tummy tuck in Dallas involves only a single incision. This single incision is done at the lower abdomen in order to pull the skin and muscles to a tighter position for more minor cases of laxity that do not require any additional incision points. A good candidate for this procedure would have most of their laxity existing below the navel.

No-Drain Abdominoplasty

The goal of the no drain tummy tuck is to reduce the amount of fluid build-up after surgery. Fluid buildup occurs as a result of open spaces created by the procedure, which can cause discomfort to the patient as they heal. The ability to avoid a drain is accomplished through special sutures that connect the skin or soft tissue to the outer layer of muscles. By affixing these layers, effectively eliminates the potential for open pockets. With this technique, patients can even experience a quicker recovery.

What to Expect During Your Tummy Tuck in Dallas

The extent of the procedure is patient-specific and depends on your cosmetic goals and what Dr. Azouz deems appropriate. Details and different body surgery technique options will be discussed during your consultation. During this highly individualized procedure, Dr. Azouz eliminates skin and fatty tissue to improve your natural body contour. This elimination of sagging, loose skin and excess fatty tissue results in a firmer, flatter abdominal appearance, and a narrower waistline. A slimmer appearance is something many people strive for through diet and exercise, but sometimes these traditional methods aren’t enough to reach your ideal goals.

Patients return home shortly after the procedure, wearing a series of compression garments, or girdles, and will continually wear these garments for approximately 3 to 4 weeks.

Anesthesia used for Tummy Tuck

During your tummy tuck with Dr. Azouz in Dallas, TX, sedation and local anesthesia are used in most cases. Dr. Azouz’s patients report feeling less nauseated and have a quicker recovery.

Tummy Tuck recovery

Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. Azouz provides specific aftercare instructions and close postoperative follow-up appointments to ensure a healthy recovery. Swelling and bruising may occur but should subside within a few days and Dr. Azouz will provide you with pain medication for any discomfort.

Patients should expect to get plenty of rest in the first few days following surgery, but most are free to return to a normal routine and physical activity within two weeks.

Combination of a Tummy Tuck with other plastic surgeries

There are many plastic and cosmetic surgeries that can be combined with a tummy tuck. Some of the combination procedures that Dr. Azouz performs include: 

  • Eyelid surgery
  • Liposuction of the neck
  • Facelift
  • Arm lift
  • Breast lift
  • Breast augmentation 
  • Gynecomastia (Male breast reduction)

Tummy Tuck cost

The cost of a tummy tuck is dependent on the history of the patient and the condition of the patient’s abdomen.  Some patients have hernias, stretch marks, tattoos, diastasis, and scarring that add to a tummy tuck’s complexity.  A tummy tuck is usually considered a cosmetic operation, but insurance can cover the medically necessary portions of the procedure if hernias are present. Dr. Azouz also has different financing options for his patients if needed.
