Tired of belly flab that looks bad, makes you self-conscious, and causes discomfort? Also known as a tummy tuck, abdominoplasty is a popular procedure in Ft. Myers and Naples, because it helps men and women regain a tighter, trimmer, and more youthful appearance. Many women benefit from a tummy tuck after pregnancy. Having children causes the abdominal wall to expand and for most women the abdominal skin and muscle will not retract. Mothers find that in addition to an improved appearance, the procedure also can improve or eliminate abdominal scars from prior procedures.
When you're ready to take the next step, request an appointment at one of our convenient offices. We look forward to serving you and helping you achieve the look you desire.
Abdominoplasty in Fort Myers
A tummy tuck is an excellent choice for women and men who eat right and exercise, but still can't seem to get rid of stubborn fat and loose tissue around their stomachs. Dr. Gardner performs abdominoplasty in Ft. Myers to help patients regain their youthful, trim appearance by tightening the abdominal wall and removing excess skin and fat. See our tummy tuck results when you visit our before & after photo gallery. Often, abdominoplasty is the only way to get a slimmer stomach when diet and exercise have done all they can.
Your Tummy Tuck Procedure
A tummy tuck is performed under general anesthesia so you will rest comfortably through the procedure. Dr. Gardner begins the procedure by making an incision below the belly button so that he can access the loose skin, fat and muscle tissue in the abdomen. This excess tissue is removed and the muscles are tightened before the incisions are closed. Abdominoplasty is often performed in conjunction with liposuction in Fort Myers to contour several areas of the body during a single surgical session. Some patients choose to have the appearance of their belly button rejuvenated as a part of their tummy tuck. Recovery takes about 2 weeks for normal activities, with our Ft. Myers and Naples, FL tummy tuck patients resuming more strenuous activities after about 3 to 4 weeks.
Now is the right time to slim your stomach contour and get the shape you want through cosmetic surgery. Request a consultation online or call 239-566-2611 to schedule your appointment.
