Centrally located in Southampton, PA and serving Philadelphia, Bucks, and Montgomery Counties, The Kole Plastic Surgery Center performs tummy tucks for patients desiring plastic surgery.
Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck is a surgical procedure in which the excess skin of the abdomen is removed and the underlying abdominal muscles are tightened. If you have weak muscles after pregnancy or extra skin from weight loss, a tummy tuck may be for you. This is often accompanied by liposuction. A physical examination will determine whether you need a tummy tuck or liposuction.
Liposuction will remove subcutaneous fat—the fat under the skin—which will tighten the surrounding skin to a degree. However, if you have hanging skin, poor skin tone, or “stretch marks” on your skin, then liposuction will empty the fat from underneath the skin but the skin will not retract. To obtain a smooth contour, you will need excision of this extra skin. A tummy tuck is performed when you have excess skin and weak musculature.
Tummy tucks are performed mostly on women after they have completed having children. Men also often have these procedures done, most commonly after significant weight loss.
If you dream about having a toned, contoured midsection, yet cannot achieve the ideal abdomen with diet and exercise, you may be a good candidate for a tummy tuck. The procedure helps men and women in Southampton, PA, Philadelphia County, Bucks County, Montgomery County and surrounding areas of Bucks County, PA, who have tried to tighten their bellies on their own but had little success.
