For many, changes in the abdominal area due to weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or aging remain a significant concern. Excess skin and weakened muscles often resist even the most diligent diet and exercise efforts. This is where a full tummy tuck, a comprehensive surgical solution, comes into play. Dr. Roderick M. Urbaniak at Urbaniak Plastic Surgery in Largo, FL offers this transformative procedure, helping patients regain a firmer, more youthful abdomen.

What is a full tummy tuck?

A full tummy tuck, or full abdominoplasty, is designed to reshape the abdomen. It involves removing excess skin and fat and tightening the abdominal muscles. This surgery is particularly beneficial for those who have experienced significant weight loss or have undergone pregnancy and are struggling to regain their previous abdominal tone.

How does full abdominoplasty transform your body?

Undergoing full abdominoplasty can result in several notable changes, each aimed at enhancing your physical appearance and comfort. This procedure is not just about aesthetics; it's about bringing a positive transformation to your body and lifestyle. The changes include:

  • Improved body contour: The removal of excess skin and fat leads to a more toned and contoured abdomen.
  • Tightened muscles: Abdominoplasty addresses stretched or weakened abdominal muscles, improving posture and core strength.
  • Reduction in stretch marks: The procedure can also diminish the appearance of stretch marks, particularly those located below the navel.

These physical enhancements are often accompanied by emotional and psychological benefits. A full tummy tuck can lead to increased confidence and self-esteem, encouraging a more active and healthy lifestyle.

What are the long-term benefits of a tummy tuck surgery?

The benefits of tummy tuck surgery extend beyond the immediate physical improvements, touching various aspects of a patient's life. This procedure not only reshapes the body but also has a profound impact on emotional well-being and lifestyle choices. The key benefits include:

  • Enhanced self-esteem: A reshaped physique often boosts confidence and self-image.
  • Improved physical comfort: Tightening abdominal muscles can reduce discomfort and improve core stability.
  • Motivation for a healthier lifestyle: Many patients find that their new appearance encourages them to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.

These benefits can lead to a ripple effect in various areas of a person's life. Enhanced self-esteem often translates into improved social interactions and personal relationships.

Are you a good candidate for tummy tuck surgery?

Determining your suitability for a tummy tuck is crucial in your journey toward a transformed physique. Assessing your health status, lifestyle, and expectations is essential before considering this surgery. To help you evaluate readiness, candidates should be:

  • Individuals in good health and at a stable weight
  • Nonsmokers, as smoking can impede healing
  • Those with realistic goals and a positive attitude about the procedure

After considering these factors, the next important step is to consult with an experienced plastic surgeon. Dr. Urbaniak is skilled in assessing individual cases and can provide personalized advice.

tummy tuck with muscle repair, a breast lift and lipo - Feeling like a million bucks at age 52! - I ask myself the question "Why did I wait so long to do this? " Should have done this years ago! The results are amazing! I am about 2 months post-op and feeling like a million bucks at age 52! I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair, a breast lift (no implants!) and lipo in the surrounding areas. Dr Urbaniak and his staff were amazing from beginning to end. From the ladies at the front desk, to Hannah who walked me through every step of the way to Eva, who I wish I could have with me at all times as my personal assistant post-op, to Dr. Urbaniak who is truly an artist. I couldn't have chosen a better practice. They stayed in constant contact with me throughout and I am healing beautifully!

I had a double mastectomy and though I'm not done with my journey I have to say.... I could not have found a more compassionate and skilled Doctor than Dr Urbaniak. The office and medical staff are exceptional in all aspects of customer service as well and are caring and so friendly. With all the weight on my shoulders I feel so grateful to have them on my "team". When "all this" is behind me, I think I'll go back to him for a neck lift :)

After getting several "breast-imates" a friend urged me to see Dr. Urbaniak. She loved his work and thought I would too. I am so glad I did! He was the only doctor to suggest some additional work that would ultimately create better results. His estimate turned out to be more affordable than the others AND he was so much friendlier. I am beyond satisified with Dr. Roderick Urbaniak and the care his staff gave me. They made every appointment pleasant and quick. AND I LOVE the results of my surgery!! I can't wait to go back and see him again for the follow up. Dr. Urbaniak is a gem!

Very happy with my procedure! - I had been wanting my breast lifted for a very long time. I breastfeed 2 children and they were very saggy and uneven. I had talked about it for over 15 years. Finally, I was at a point in my life where I could afford to do this procedure and also was able to take the time to recover since my children are now grown. I'm so happy I did this. I feel so much better about my self. Dr Urbanick is a great doctor and my breast look and feel so real! I did not want them to look fake and they truly do not. I was very nervous to have this done and I took my time to do my research. I went on 6 consultations and Dr Urbanick was the last one and I found what I was looking for. He and his staff made me feel very comfortable. I will definitely use him in the future if I decide to do anything else.

Dr. G and all the staff are amazing! The facility is clean and the decor is so chic and modern. They also carry Jane Iredale makeup, which is my absolute favorite! I’m so happy to be a patient of Dr. G! I will definitely be back! Pick below is one day after my HydraFacial and Xeomin injections.
