Find Out About What Patients Often Wish They Knew Before Abdominoplasty in the Milwaukee and Madison Area

For this reason, patients often choose to get a tummy tuck after weight loss to help firm up loose skin or to address changes associated with aging or pregnancy. Thinking of having a tummy tuck (which some people call “belly reduction surgery” or a “belly tuck”) in the Milwaukee and Madison area? Parkins Plastic Surgery has information and tips to keep in mind both before and after a tummy tuck—including belly tuck cost details—to help the experience go as smoothly as possible.

What Should You Consider Before a Belly Tuck (Tummy Tuck)?

Are you planning on having a full tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck? A casual search for “tummy tuck near me” or “tummy tuck doctors near me” will provide many results, but there are often factors patients aren’t aware of or wish they had known sooner when they consider a belly tuck or “belly lift,” as some patients refer to the procedure.

It May Not Be the Best Option for an Apron Belly

Excess hanging fat and skin on the lower abdomen is sometimes called an “apron.” When it comes to an apron belly, a tummy tuck may not always be the best choice. A panniculectomy is another type of surgery that’s designed specifically for apron belly removal.

A Tummy Tuck Is Not Designed for Belly Button Tightening

The goal for a tummy tuck is typically to preserve the natural belly button. Contact us if you would like to learn more about what to expect from the appearance of the belly button after “lipo” or liposuction, or how the belly button could be impacted by a tummy tuck.

Tummy Tuck Costs Vary Widely

The cost of a belly tuck varies greatly depending on your geographic location and other factors, such as the surgeon’s experience and the specific type of procedure performed.

Which Cosmetic Procedures Complement a Belly Tuck?

Parkins Plastic Surgery makes numerous procedures in addition to a belly tuck available for patients who want to enhance their body contours. A belly tuck is often combined with liposuction (tummy tuck and lipo) to provide more comprehensive results. Unlike a tummy tuck, belly liposuction or liposuction on the abdomen is a form of plastic surgery for the belly area that simply reduces excess fat on the stomach area without addressing loose skin or stretched abdominal muscles. It’s still best to get a belly tuck or tummy tuck for loose skin if this is your main concern.

Although there’s not really any such thing as a “non-surgical tummy tuck,” CoolSculpting® is a non-surgical, non-invasive technique for reducing stubborn, excess fat on the stomach area. Keep in mind that the procedure doesn’t tighten lax skin and the fat-reduction results are not as dramatic as what could be possible with a surgical belly tuck.
