Surgical Techniques for Optimal Results
Dr. Keusch & Dr. Nichols rely on established surgical techniques to achieve results that look balanced and natural. Depending on your individual needs, the procedure may include tightening the abdominal muscles, removing excess skin, and carefully contouring fat for a smoother appearance.
A typical tummy tuck begins with careful marking and planning to ensure symmetry and the best placement of incisions. During the surgery, the underlying abdominal muscles are repaired to address laxity and create a firmer profile. Loose or excess skin is then removed to improve the overall contour. Finally, the incisions are closed with fine sutures to help minimize scarring.
Throughout each step, Dr. Keusch & Dr. Nichols prioritize your safety and use precise techniques to reduce the risk of complications. After your procedure, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions designed to support your recovery and help you maintain your results.
What to Expect From Your Tummy Tuck Experience
A tummy tuck improves abdominal contours by removing excess skin and tightening muscles. Your experience involves a clear recovery plan and realistic, lasting results.
Recovery and Aftercare Guidelines
Following your tummy tuck, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Most patients take about 2 weeks off work for initial healing, but your specific timeline may vary.
A compression garment is typically worn for several weeks to reduce swelling and help support your abdomen. You will need to limit strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and intense exercise for at least 4-6 weeks.
Daily activities like walking are encouraged, as movement promotes circulation and healing. Follow all instructions on wound care and attend scheduled follow-up visits to monitor your progress.
You must notify Dr. Keusch, Dr. Nichols or your care team of any unexpected signs, such as unusual pain or redness. Full results become visible gradually as swelling resolves over the following months.
Expected Outcomes and Lasting Benefits
A tummy tuck creates a firmer, flatter abdominal shape by tightening abdominal muscles and removing loose skin. Surgical scars are placed low on the abdomen and typically become less noticeable over time.
Loose skin and some stretch marks below the navel are removed, but results depend on your original anatomy. Maintaining stable weight and healthy habits helps results last for many years.
Most patients report improved confidence in how their clothing fits. Although a tummy tuck does not prevent future weight changes, it provides a long-term improvement in abdomen contour when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
