Benefits of a Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck is a transformative procedure that targets one of the most stubborn areas of the body—the midsection. Dr. Alton Ingram customizes each abdominoplasty to remove excess skin, tighten weak or separated abdominal muscles, and create a flatter, firmer silhouette. Whether you're looking to regain your pre-pregnancy shape or complete your weight loss journey, a tummy tuck offers both functional and cosmetic benefits.
- Flatter, tighter abdomen by removing excess skin and fat
- Improved core strength and stability through muscle repair
- Restores natural contour after pregnancy or significant weight loss
- Eliminates loose, hanging skin that causes discomfort or irritation
- Boosts self-confidence in clothing, swimwear, and everyday life
- Long-lasting results when paired with a healthy lifestyle
What to Expect
On the day of your Tummy Tuck surgery at Ingram Cosmetic Surgery, you’ll arrive at the state-of-the-art facility, greeted by a warm and supportive team. The pre-operative process involves meeting with your surgical team, finalizing any paperwork, and addressing any last-minute questions or concerns.
The surgery itself is conducted under general anesthesia only, with an incision made from hipbone to hipbone, just above the pubic area, and the second incision is made to free the navel. Dr. Alton Ingram will work meticulously to remove excess skin, have your abdominal muscles tightened, and contour the area for a rejuvenated look.
