Weight loss and childbirth can bring considerable and wonderful changes to your life—and your body.
However, gaining weight and creating life both stretch the skin to accommodate your body’s changes. When you lose weight or give birth, you’re also left with excess skin around your abdominal area.
Fortunately, surgical procedures like a tummy tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, can reshape your abdomen and remove stretched out skin.
At McGuiness Dermatology and Plastic Surgery, we personalize your tummy tuck in Plano, to achieve your desired aesthetic contours. Learn about the benefits of coming to our office in this article.
Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon
Our on-site plastic surgeon, Dr. Natalie Barton, MD, is board-certified in cosmetic/reconstructive surgery. She completed significant training during her time in school where she mastered state-of-the-art treatment techniques for face, breast, and body procedures. Her education and training are ongoing to stay up-to-date on the latest aesthetic services.
A plastic surgeon with board certification lowers the risk of complications that could arise during or after your surgery. Patient safety is the top priority to achieve this title, and the rigorous training also promises beautiful, functional results that patients aren’t as likely to get from someone who only completed a residency.
Comprehensive Consultations
The consultation is a crucial part of the process for any surgery. This is your opportunity to ask questions and determine if this is the right choice for you.
The consultation also allows Dr. Barton to decide if this procedure is safe for you by reviewing your medical history. She will also show you before and after photos of previous tummy tuck surgeries to set realistic expectations.
Personalized Treatments
Your concerns regarding your body are unique to you, and Dr. Barton understands that. Therefore, each procedure is tailored to your specific anatomy and desired outcome for the surgery.
Diastasis Reci Repair
During your surgery, Dr. Barton can also treat your abdominal muscles that may have separated during pregnancy or weight gain. This condition, known as diastasis recti, causes your stomach to stick out or bulge. While most commonly a concern among postpartum women, it’s also been known to affect patients who have struggled with obesity.
Nonsurgical Solutions
In some cases, Dr. Barton may suggest a nonsurgical tummy tuck based on the amount of excess skin or fat remaining from your transformative life experience. These treatments include Emsculpt NEO, CoolSculpting, or CoolTone and are non-invasive, quick, and effective, making them a great alternative to a surgical tummy tuck in Plano.
