Dr. Trent Douglas and Dr. Katerina Gallus discuss tummy tuck surgery including the best candidates, combined procedures, and recovery.
Dr. Trent Douglas:
Hello, This is Dr. Trent Douglas with Restore SD Plastic Surgery. I’m joined today with my partner… Dr. Katerina Gallus.
Dr. Trent Douglas:
Today we’re going to talk about tummy tuck surgery.
Dr. Katerina Gallus:
Tummy tuck surgery or, abdominoplasty, is the means of restoring your shapely figure after having children. It’s considered a body contouring procedure and is not a substitute for weight loss.
Dr. Trent Douglas:
Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck surgery, fixes stretched out abdominal muscles that can occur after pregnancy. Whether that’s one or multiple pregnancies.
Dr. Katerina Gallus:
Tummy tuck also removes excess skin and improves your body proportions.
Dr. Trent Douglas:
Tummy tuck is best performed on patients that are at a healthy weight and already following a diet and exercise program.
Dr. Katerina Gallus:
For some patients, adding liposuction might improve the results.
