Tummy Tuck IN GOODYEAR & PHOENIX, AZ

What is a Tummy Tuck? 

An abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, will remove excess fatty tissue and loose skin while also addressing the separation of the abdominal muscle. The separation of this abdominal muscle is known as ‘diastasis’ and can occur from pregnancy and or significant weight gain. If your body has been through a pregnancy or if your weight has fluctuated significantly for other reasons, your midsection may have experienced unwanted aesthetic changes. Even if you had a flat and firm belly before pregnancy, diet and exercise may not be enough to get you back to where you want to be. 

Dr. Rod performs tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) to help Phoenix women restore their pre-baby body. He also supports patients who have lost a substantial amount of weight or who want to recontour their midsection after liposuction. The surgery can eliminate excess skin and repair weakened muscles, both common symptoms after major weight change. Patients frequently combine the surgery with breast augmentation and breast lift as part of a mommy makeover to rejuvenate their body and their breasts in a single surgical session.

Dr. Rod’s Approach to Tummy Tuck 

Significant weight gain and loss can: 

• Leave you with excess tissue around your belly. 
• Cause your abdominal muscles to separate. 
• Create unaesthetic stretch marks. 

A tummy tuck removes the excess skin and reconstructs the abdominal muscles to give you an hourglass figure. Most of Dr. Rod’s patients see a reduction in the appearance of stretch marks by 50% to 100%. 

Dr. Rod prioritizes comfort and safety with any surgical procedure he conducts for his Phoenix patients. One of the most common issues that people experience after a tummy tuck is that they are sent home following surgery and don’t feel well enough to take needed medications on the first day. Dr. Rod avoids this issue by performing tummy tuck surgery in a hospital setting, where patients can receive around-the-clock nursing care. 

All other aspects of your treatment occur at the Dermacare Plastic Surgery office. This provides you with a single point of contact with familiar and friendly staff. Our team is always available to help you and can accommodate an appointment on nearly any day of the week. 

Benefits of Tummy Tuck

The key benefits of undergoing a tummy tuck include: 

• Tightens weakened abdominal muscles. 
• Removes excess, lax abdominal skin. 
• Improves abdominal contour. 
• Eliminates stretch marks on the abdomen. 

While Dr. Rod individualizes each procedure to the patient’s needs, he generally will take the following steps as part of a tummy tuck: 

• He will place the incision along the bikini line so that it shouldn’t be visible even in underwear or a swimsuit. 
• Dr. Rod will pull the abdominal muscles back together to give you a stronger midsection and a firmer belly. 
• He will use sutures in a way that limits swelling and allows surgical drains to come out sooner. Sutures will dissolve naturally over time. 
• Dr. Rod will apply a long-lasting local anesthetic that significantly improves your comfort for 3-4 days after surgery. 
• You can expect to spend one night at the hospital and head home the next day.
