Both men and women have “six-packs” in their musculature, but these muscles can also be stretched and damaged. For women, this is most often due to pregnancy, and, for patients in general, may be caused by carrying excess weight in the midsection. After significant weight loss, bariatric surgery, or pregnancy, a tummy tuck in Detroit could help restore flat abs.
Danielle DeLuca-Pytell, M.D., F.A.C.S., known as Your Girlfriend the Plastic Surgeon®, is a board-certified plastic surgeon who can remove abdominal skin and surgically repair the rectus abdominis muscle to reshape your “six-pack.” She will be your dependable guide and companion throughout your tummy tuck surgery.
Women may be good candidates for a tummy tuck in Detroit when excess abdominal skin does not disappear with diet and exercise. When someone has lost significant weight and has not seen any shrinkage of loose skin for six months, they could also be a candidate for a tummy tuck.
Most patients will need to be the same weight at least six months before tummy tuck surgery is performed and should be no more than 10 pounds from a normal weight. If patients choose to undergo a tummy tuck and then gain or lose weight, the sudden weight change may undo the sculpted-body effect of their tummy tuck.
Patients often worry about what will happen to their stretch marks after tummy tuck surgery. Stretch marks from weight loss can be managed surgically when they occur beneath the navel. The result is confidence in a bikini or brief-type swim trunks and freedom from the discomfort of loose skin.
A tummy tuck in Detroit is performed under general anesthesia and generally takes between two and four hours to complete. When they are clear of anesthesia, patients will go home to continue their recovery. Part of Dr. DeLuca-Pytell’s success is that patients leave the office without any drains post-surgery, as the surgeon has utilized a special tummy tuck technique to reduce fluid buildup.
If you know that the benefits of tummy tuck surgery outweigh the risks, you are a candidate for a tummy tuck in Detroit. Dr. DeLuca-Pytell will explain everything you need to know and guide you through all the surgical steps of the procedure.
