Chicago Tummy Tuck by Dr. David Dreyfuss
Many women and men throughout Chicagoland seek to eliminate stubborn abdominal fat, which can compromise their goals of enjoying a slim, athletic figure. It is often impossible to eliminate a soft and flabby tummy with a healthy diet and a disciplined exercise routine because of skin laxity and damage to the abdominal wall.
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is one of the more popular body contouring procedures in Chicago because it dramatically reshapes the torso and delivers a taut, thin tummy associated with a youthful body.
This amazing surgery provides improved belly contours by removing pesky fat pads, sagging skin, and reinforcing the abdominal wall. Board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. David Dreyfuss, performs multiple tummy tuck techniques, which include a full abdominoplasty, mini abdominoplasty, and a tummy tuck with or without liposuction.

Tummy Tuck Candidates
Good candidates for abdominoplasty are patients who want to reduce a bulge and sagging skin in their abdominal area. Although it is not a weight loss procedure, a tummy tuck is an optimal surgery to eliminate stubborn fat in this problem area and make you look significantly slimmer, with a flatter stomach and trimmer waistline.
Tummy Tuck Procedure
Your tummy tuck employs general anesthesia for your comfort during surgery. First, Dr. Dreyfuss will try to determine the best incision placement with the goal of ensuring the incision will be easy to conceal. He will consider your clothing preference if applicable.
He commonly performs incisions across the waist, in between the navel and pubic hairline. Then, excess tissue, fat, and skin will be lifted and removed. Some patients require a fleur de lis incision if there is a considerable amount of excess skin tissue. This type involves a vertical incision in the center of the abdomen.
Non-dissolvable sutures will then be placed to repair the weakened abdominal muscles, and the incisions will be closed. In some cases, Dr. Dreyfuss makes a separate incision to remove any excess fat surrounding the upper abdomen. Other procedures, like liposuction, can be combined with the tummy tuck to enhance your results.
You can expect to go home the same day after surgery, so make sure you have a responsible adult accompany you to our surgical center. It is also wise to make sure someone is available to care for you for the first few days after surgery.
