San Antonio Abdominoplasty – Tummy Tuck San Antonio

Gearing up for the summer months, many people hit the gym in effort to slim down and tone up their body. There are some parts of our body that do not respond well to traditional diet and exercise. Skin that has lost it’s elasticity due to multiple pregnancies or significant weight loss is generally non responsive to exercise. San Antonio plastic surgeon Dr. Eric Schaffer uses Abdominoplasty more commonly known as San Antonio tummy tuck to improve the appearance of your midsection.

Dr. Schaffer uses abdominoplasty to remove excess skin and tighten the abdominal walls. In some cases, liposuction may be used in conjunction with San Antonio tummy tuck to produce optimal results. Both men and women can benefit from San Antonio abdominoplasty. Patients who undergo the procedure are left with a firmer more slender mid section.

A consultation with Dr. Schaffer is needed to determine if you are a good candidate for abdominoplasty. In general, men and women who are in relatively good shape but have sagging skin and fat around their mid section are good candidates for the procedure. During the consultation, Dr. Schaffer will ask questions about your medical history and your expectations for results. With this information, Dr. Schaffer will work with you to create a surgical plan to meet your needs and produce natural looking results.

We invite you to contact our office to schedule your San Antonio tummy tuck consultation. Our staff is committed to providing exceptional patient care from the very first phone call. Let Dr. Schaffer help you get ready for summer with San Antonio Abdominoplasty.

San Antonio Tummy Tuck Scars

One of the biggest concerns when considering tummy tuck surgery is the scarring left behind. While some scarring is to be expected, the size and length of the scar greatly depends on the severity of the procedure. Patients who are in need of more extensive work will have a larger scar than those who’s lower abdomen is all that needs addressing.

Patients who’s abdomen has a great deal of loose skin and pockets of fat will most likely need a full tummy tuck. During a full tummy tuck, Dr. Schaffer tightens the abdominal muscles, removes fat deposits using liposuction and removes the excess sagging skin. Patients who undergo an extensive procedure such as this will generally have a scar that runs hip to hip. Patients who’s lower abdomen is the only area needing to be addressed may get away with a smaller scar as the procedure is not nearly as extensive.

In all tummy tuck procedures Dr. Schaffer performs he strives to limit the necessary incision to reduce scarring. When possible he places in the incisions in such a place that scarring can be hidden by clothing or a swim suit later on.
