Texas Tummy tuck directory information

Texas tummy tuck providers are listed in the following unbiased directory of area plastic surgeons. RealSelf.com does not accept paid directory placements or advertorial in the Texas doctor directory. The Texas tummy tuck surgeons in this directory are listed according to their level of participation in the community.

Tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, is designed to firm and smooth the abdomen, remove excess abdominal skin, reduce fat, and tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. Unless there is significant weight gain or the patient becomes pregnant, the abdomen should remain firm and flat for many years following surgery. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that tummy tuck was the fourth most popular surgical procedure for women in 2007.

There are many variations both to the design of the incisions and the tummy tuck technique itself. A horizontal incision is usually placed just above the pubic area. If a patient has loose skin above the navel, the plastic surgeon may make an incision around the navel so that redundant skin above it can be pulled down. The procedure may include tightening of the underlying abdominal muscles using sutures. Sometimes liposuction may be used alone, or in conjunction with abdominoplasty, to remove abdominal fat.

Be are honest with your plastic surgeon about your medical history and your goals for the surgery, and choose a surgeon who is experienced and qualified to perform tummy tuck in Texas. No surgery is without some level of risk, and your surgeon should explain all of the side effects and possible risks prior to surgery.

Tips for finding the right Texas tummy tuck surgeon

1. Ask your Texas tummy tuck surgeon, what is your board certification and which professional societies do you belong to?
2. Is the facility where my surgery will take place an accredited facility?
3. What exactly can I expect during and after tummy tuck surgery?
4. Are there any alternatives to tummy tuck that I should be aware of?
5. May I see before and after photos of other Texas patients who have already had tummy tuck?
6. May I speak to a current patient who has already had a tummy tuck?

Do not commit to tummy tuck with a Texas doctor or plastic surgeon based solely upon advertising, special pricing, or the referral of another patient before fully researching the background of the surgeon.
