Cosmetic Plastic Surgery

Weight loss, aging, and pregnancy often combine to create a “deflated” sagging abdomen that exercise and diet don’t seem to improve. Abdominoplasty or “tummy-tuck” can tighten a sagging stomach with an incision hidden beneath the underwear line or within a stomach crease. A tummy tuck will remove extra skin and fat from the lower portion of the abdomen. In addition, muscles under the skin that have become stretched, separated, or damaged in any way can be tightened up during the procedure, while any existing hernias are repaired. The result of your tummy tuck is a tighter, firmer abdomen with an inconspicuous incision. Depending upon your specific needs, Dr. Cole may perform either a traditional “tummy tuck” which utilizes a smaller incision and less invasive surgery. Either way, these tummy tuck procedures are done in an outpatient setting under general anesthesia. Bruising and swelling typically resolve within 2-3 weeks and patients often return to work within 10-14 days.
