Denver Tummy Tuck
If you have loose, sagging skin and stretched-out muscles in the abdominal area, and cannot attain a toned midsection with regular diet and exercise, you may want to consider undergoing tummy tuck surgery. At the Zwiebel Center for Plastic Surgery and Skin Care, Denver plastic surgeon Paul C. Zwiebel, M.D., D.M.D., F.A.C.S. provides patients with a pleasant and relaxed body contouring experience. His staff collectively has five to 15 years of experience; Dr. Zwiebel and his team focus on making patients feel like part of his extended family.
Denver Tummy Tuck Information
When visiting Dr. Zwiebel in Littleton for your educational tummy tuck consultation, he will guide you on what is reasonable and most appropriate for your body. He strongly believes that just because it is plastic surgery does not mean that it should be taken lightly – it is still surgery.
The tummy tuck procedure (“abdominoplasty”) is designed to tighten the abdominal muscles, remove stubborn pockets of fat, and trim away excess skin. Depending on your individual needs, Dr. Zwiebel will create a modified treatment plan. Typically extending from hipbone to hipbone, the incision size required will fluctuate depending on the patient’s situation. Dr. Zwiebel may create a new opening for the belly button if a large amount of excess skin is removed. However, if you only require a mini tummy tuck, the navel opening may remain untouched.
To provide patients with an easier recovery, Dr. Zwiebel provides anesthesia pumps when performing tummy tuck surgery. Connected to the central nerve bundle in the abdomen, this pump drips local anesthetic into the treatment area for three to four days, numbing the area enough for patients to significantly reduce their need for painkillers.
Littleton, Colorado Springs, and Denver tummy tuck patients who are also experiencing sagging breasts due to loss of skin elasticity may wish to combine breast lift surgery (“mastopexy”) with their procedure. If you are considering future pregnancies, Dr. Zwiebel suggests postponing your tummy tuck and breast lift to a later date because pregnancy will lessen the outcome.
