Abdominoplasty

Women and men in relatively good shape who have unsuccessfully attempted to firm and tone the abdominal region through diet and exercise are able to attain that goal with an abdominoplasty. Also known as a “tummy tuck,” this procedure takes anywhere from 2-5 hours to be completed. This operation is intended to improve the aesthetic appearance of the abdominal region.

During a full abdominoplasty, excess fat and skin is removed and the abdominal muscles are tightened. When a less extensive procedure is necessary, there may be a smaller incision with little or no work on the muscles. The degree of laxity and the patient’s anatomy and cosmetic goals help determine which procedure is right for them. Dr. Copeland will make a decision with his patients about whether to do the procedure as an outpatient or with an overnight stay in the hospital.

Our goal with an abdominoplasty is to provide the patient with a change in their abdominal appearance that will make them more confident with their self-image and in the way they look in and out of clothing.

To find out if abdominoplasty is right for you, schedule a consultation at our St. Peters cosmetic surgery practice today.
