FAQ
How do you medically qualify for a tummy tuck?
To medically qualify for a tummy tuck in Atlanta, GA, most patients should ideally have a BMI of 31 or less and be in overall good health. You may be a good candidate if you have loose or sagging abdominal skin, separated muscles from pregnancy, or stubborn fat that won't respond to diet and exercise. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your health, review your goals, and determine if abdominoplasty in Atlanta, GA is the safest option for you.
How many pounds does a tummy tuck take off?
A tummy tuck is a body contouring procedure, not a weight-loss surgery. Most patients lose just a few pounds of abdominal skin and fat, but the visible change in body contour is far greater than the number on the scale. Many tummy tuck patients notice slimmer waists, flatter abdomens, and better clothing fit after their Atlanta tummy tuck.
What is the downside of a tummy tuck?
Like any surgical procedure, abdominoplasty carries risks such as scarring, infection, or delayed healing. Some patients experience temporary tightness or numbness in the abdominal area during the recovery period. Choosing a board-certified surgeon and carefully following all post-surgery instructions helps minimize these risks.
How long do tummy tucks last?
Results from a tummy tuck Atlanta GA can last many years, especially if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While aging naturally affects skin elasticity, the tightened muscles and removal of excess skin are long-term improvements.
Can I combine a tummy tuck with other procedures?
Yes. Many patients combine a tummy tuck procedure with a mommy makeover, which may include breast augmentation, breast lift, or liposuction. Combining procedures can be cost-effective and allows you to recover once while achieving multiple enhancements.
Will a tummy tuck remove stretch marks?
Yes, a tummy tuck can remove excess skin and fat, and if your stretch marks are located on the lower abdomen below the belly button, they are often removed with that skin. Stretch marks above the belly button usually remain but may appear less noticeable once the skin is tightened.
