Abdomioplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Have you lost a significant amount of weight, but now have loose and sagging skin in your abdomen? Have you noticed your abdomen sag as you’ve aged, and no amount of sit-ups or planks seem to tighten it back up?Have you had all the children you intended on having, and want your pre-pregnancy abdomen back? Or, If you are in generally good physical condition but are concerned about abdominal fat deposits and loose skin that do not respond to diet and exercise, an abdominoplasty can potentially reduce your protruding abdomen. You will look slimmer, fitter, and be altogether healthier.
What is an abdominoplasty?
Commonly referred to as a “tummy tuck,” abdominoplasty surgically removes excess fat and skin from the lower abdomen. The procedure also helps to flatten the abdomen by tightening the abdominal muscles, which can become stretched or separated and cause a “pooch” that just won’t go away. This is especially common for postpartum women, especially those who have had multiple pregnancies. Older patients whose abdominal skin has lost some of its elasticity and have stubborn belly fat can also benefit from a tummy tuck.
To achieve the best results of abdominoplasty, patients need to meet the following criteria:
• Be at or near your ideal goal weight.
• Having realistic expectations
• Be a non-smoker, as smoking can complicate both the procedure and your recovery time.
• Be in good physical and psychological health.
Who is a good candidate for abdominoplasty?

Not a candidate

Most tummy tuck patients take between three to four weeks off work or school to recover. Pain is usually quite easily managed with prescription of pain medications or even over-the-counter medications. Heavy lifting should be avoided during the first few weeks after a tummy tuck. It’s essential that you have a plan in place for someone to take care of the day to day chores around the house. Activities such as cooking, vacuuming and doing the laundry cannot be performed while you are recuperating from surgery.

Body Contouring Post Massive Weight Loss
Once you achieve massive weight loss following diet and exercise or bariatric surgery, you are often left with sagging skin and tissues that prevent you from looking as good as you feel and showing off your new, slimmer figure. Body contouring improves the shape of your body while reducing excess fat and skin. This final step of the weight-loss process can give you a body that adequately reflects what you have worked so hard to achieve.
Body contouring after massive weight loss or bariatric surgery may include a combination of some or all of the following procedures:
• Lower Body Lift: After major weight loss, sagging skin and fat settle around the midsection. This creates an “apron” overhang in the lower abdomen and waist. The buttocks may be flat or unevenly shaped, and the groin may sag into the inner thigh area. The lower body lift procedure corrects sagging in the abdomen, waist, hips, and buttocks.
• Thigh Lift (THIGHPLASTY): An Inner Thigh Lift or Thighplasty treats lose skin of the inner thigh. A thighplasty can be accomplished through incisions along the inside of the thigh from groin to knee. Liposuction reduces any diet-resistant fat to improve leg contours.
• Arm Lift (BRACHIOPLASTY): Excess skin and loose tissues in the upper arms can be corrected through incisions extending from the armpits to the elbows along the back or the inside of the arms. Liposuction is performed as needed to remove fat from the arms for a more contoured appearance.
• Breast Lift: Following major weight loss, the breasts may sag or have lost volume and shape. The nipples may fall below the breast crease. A breast lift, or “mastopexy,” procedure reduces excess skin and tightens the tissues of the breasts. Breast lift can also correct large areolas and sagging nipples.
Dr. Menesi may perform these procedures in stages. He will develop a surgical plan based on your individual circumstances to best suit your needs.
To achieve the best results, patients need to meet the following criteria:
• Be at or near your ideal goal weight.
• Having realistic expectations
