HB: What is an Abdominoplasty?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Abdominoplasty, or a \"tummy tuck\" is the most common plastic surgery procedure used for men and women to flatten the stomach.<\/span><\/p>\n

HB: How does an Abdominoplasty work?<\/span><\/h3>\n

During abdominoplasty, excess skin is removed from the middle and lower abdomen, and the muscles of the abdominal wall are tightened.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

HB: Who is the best candidate for this procedure?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Women whose stomach muscles have become stretched after pregnancy or who have lost a large amount of weight are candidates for the tummy tuck procedure. Men who find the \u201cspare tire\u201d difficult to reduce also find relief from this procedure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

HB: What does recovery look like?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Abdominoplasty is generally performed in one to two hours, with a recovery period of about one to two weeks. Abdominoplasty does result in a permanent scar, I can hide the scar below the bikini line. During your visit to our office in Houston I will discuss the many techniques for body contouring with you to determine your ideal solution.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

HB: What is the cost of an Abdominoplasty?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The average cost for a tummy tuck can start at $8,500-$15,000.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
