Benefit Of A Tummy Tuck DC
The tummy or stomach area is often a problem area for many men and women. Our patients have worked hard to lose weight and find the extra skin they have left to be stubborn to get rid of. At Bruno | Brown Plastic Surgery, we aim to achieve exceptional results for tightening the entire waistline, transforming one’s body, and giving patients a more toned look with a surgical tummy tuck procedure.
What do tummy tucks do? Some benefits of a tummy tuck can include things such as:
- Flattening the stomach area
- Improving one’s appearance of the abdominal muscles
- Enhancing one’s overall figure
- Reducing the size of one’s hipline and waistline
- Tightening the stomach muscles
- Reducing the appearance of stretch marks, particularly after pregnancy
- Removal of excess skin, loose skin, or hanging skin, which may be the result of weight loss or pregnancy
DC Tummy Tuck Recovery Process
In regards to results, some patients may notice the results within the next day. Most patients can return to their regular activity after two or three weeks. You may exercise after you are fully healed. The healing process will differ for each patient.
In regards to scares, a full tummy tuck can leave a longer scar. Each patient will have a specific plan and may not need the whole length. Some patients only need a small incision in the pubic area to achieve their goal(s).
