For both men and women, loose skin and pockets of fat along the abdominal region can be frustrating despite efforts to get rid of it. Significant weight loss, childbirth, and aging are the most common reasons why an individual may not be able to reclaim a slim and tight stomach. Skin tightening of the abdomen is a body contouring procedure that redefines the abdominal region, achieving extraordinary outcomes for patients.
Orlando, FL, plastic surgeon Dr. F. Jorge Gonzalez performs tummy tuck surgery that is based on the patient’s needs. This cosmetic surgery at Le Contour Aesthetic Surgery allows men and women the opportunity to attain a tighter tummy and more confidence.
Also known as abdominoplasty, tummy tuck surgery is designed to slim the abdomen by removing excess fat and loose skin. Diastasis recti, or separated abdominal muscles, can also be corrected during tummy tuck surgery. The result is a slim waistline, a stronger core, and renewed confidence.
Men and women who are unhappy with the appearance of their abdomen may be candidates for tummy tuck surgery.
Suitable candidates should be non-smokers in good overall health with realistic expectations about their results. Good candidates also typically:

Dr. Gonzalez uses several tummy tuck techniques, depending on the patient’s goals and anatomical starting point. He will discuss the best method for your aesthetic goals at your consultation.
Also called a traditional tummy tuck, this technique involves:
This technique is ideal for patients with a “pooch” and less excess skin. It includes:
This abdominoplasty technique is similar to a standard tummy tuck but more extensive. It involves:
This technique is similar to the extended tummy tuck, with an even longer incision and more core tightening. It includes everything an extended tummy tuck involves and:
When abdominoplasty surgery is completed, you will be carefully examined and sent home wearing a compression device to assist with swelling. Following post-operative instructions carefully is essential for a smooth recovery.
Standing upright and walking will be challenging for a while, so you should take it easy for several days. Walking becomes less painful once the abdominal muscles adjust and the incision heals.
You can generally resume a normal routine and return to work within two weeks. Workouts can begin around six to eight weeks or earlier if Dr. Gonzalez gives you permission. You may experience some discomfort and tightness, but you will feel healthy and normal again once healed.

After the swelling has gone away and you can stand up straight, you’ll start to get a picture of your final tummy tuck results. It can take two weeks before your results start to become apparent.
The tummy tuck scar can take several months or up to a year to fade. Proper incision care, such as the use of silicone gel strips, can help with scarring.
You can expect to enjoy your new slim, toned figure for years. It is important to lead a healthy lifestyle to maintain your results, although many patients find they have the motivation to keep their figure looking good.
At the time of your consultation, Dr. Gonzalez will customize your unique tummy tuck plan to your unique concerns and goals before estimating costs. He will be able to provide your tummy tuck price as soon as the type of abdominoplasty is decided, among other factors.
To ensure you get beautiful results from an experienced plastic surgeon, Le Contour Aesthetic Surgery makes it easier to afford your tummy tuck by taking several payment methods and giving you information on low-interest financing.
Incisions for your abdominoplasty will vary based on which technique is being used. During all tummy tucks, Dr. Gonzalez uses the thinnest incisions needed to minimize scarring. He also places incisions in areas that are less visible (through the belly button or in the pubic region) so they may be hidden by underwear or a swimsuit. Following your tummy tuck, it is important to adhere to your scar management instructions so your sutures heal properly and eventually blend into your natural skin.
Although you may get pregnant following an abdominoplasty, it will likely affect your results. Dr. Gonzalez strongly encourages you to finish building your family before you get an abdominoplasty. If you do become pregnant following your initial tummy tuck, another surgery may be scheduled to rejuvenate your abdomen.
Many patients get a second body surgery with an abdominoplasty to attain more dramatic results. At your initial consultation with Dr. Gonzalez, talk to him about your desires so a personalized surgical plan may be created to match your aesthetic goals. You might combine abdominoplasty with a thighplasty for a lower body lift to rejuvenate your figure after having children or losing a lot of weight.
