Tummy Tuck Surgery in Harlingen, Texas

Have you tried diet and exercise but you're still not satisfied with the look of your stomach? If this sounds like you, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) may be your solution! The tummy tuck is cosmetic surgery recommended for men and women who are not obese, but have excess skin, muscle or fat in the abdominal wall that they can't seem to lose strictly by dieting and exercising. This treatment is not recommended for women who are interested in getting pregnant in the future, as pregnancy can distend the abdominal area. If you want a flat, firm stomach, a tummy tuck is the answer!

The surgery will make you look and feel better, and your stomach will appear tighter and firmer. Before considering abdominoplasty, you should have realistic expectations. A tummy tuck will not make you youthful again, however it will improve your appearanceand ultimately increase your self-confidence. For more information about the final results, view our before and after pictures!

The tummy tuck procedure will take about two to fourhours. You will be given general anesthesia or intravenous sedation, whatever your surgeon decides is best for you. During surgery, your doctor will make one or more incisions, removing all the excess fat and skin that is currently making you feel uncomfortable. Also, your weakened muscles will be repaired, resulting in a tighter, firmer look.

The recovery period is about two to five weeks, depending on your previous physical condition. There will be initial swelling around the abdomen, preventing you from immediately noticing results. It will also be difficult or impossible for you to stand upright. After a week or two, you'll be able to stand up and notice your slimmer stomach! The length of the results depends on how well you take care of your body in the years following surgery. In order to make the results last, you'll need to carefully follow all post-surgery instructions.Also,maintaining your weight with a healthy diet and exercise is very important. This should be easy after your procedure as you'll be feeling healthier and more motivated to keep your improved body shape!
