Obese or significantly overweight patients might not be candidates for tummy tucks. A Body Mass Index (BMI) over 30 could present issues. Additionally, any previous clotting or surgical complications could present an environment inhospitable to the procedure. Ensure all these conditions are discussed openly with Dr. Meade at this appointment.
At your consultation appointment, you will have a physical evaluation with Dr. Meade, and he will discuss your aesthetic surgical goals and desires.
Choosing the right Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for your aesthetic surgery is essential. You can be confident in your choice with Dr. Ricardo Meade, known for his warmth, experience, and beautiful results.
We look forward to meeting you!
It is more than his bedside manner or the warmth of his smile that endears Dr. Meade to his patients. Yes, it has much to do with the way he actively listens and uses further questions to draw out even more than his patient might have even been aware of. However, as a board-certified, experienced plastic surgeon and nominated Castle Connolly Top Doctor for 10 years, his manner with patients is only one of the many elements that help produce stunning, natural looks that can dramatically improve the lives of his patients.
There may be some discomfort after a tummy tuck within the first week, but the pain is reported to be halved by the second week. As with most of Dr. Meade’s procedures, most patients don’t finish their initial prescription of 40 pain pills.
The results of tummy tucks are considered permanent because the skin and fat cells Dr. Meade removes during the procedure cannot grow back. Likewise, any internal sutures he places to repair the stomach muscles are designed to remain indefinitely.
Different types of tummy tucks provide different results based on your aesthetic goals and needs. Dr. Meade offers the following types of tummy tucks:
A skin-only, mini tummy tuck removes the excess, sagging skin that forms an uncomfortable pouch below the belly button. This type does not repair or tighten muscles and is best for patients who need minimal surgical restoration.
This is a procedure where the excess, sagging skin is removed with added suturing to apply and maintain tension.
Standard abdominoplasty generally involves a horizontal incision from hip to hip and another around the belly button. During your procedure, local anesthesia is administered to keep you as comfortable as possible. Excess skin is removed, and the muscles are tightened for comprehensive body sculpting. This type of tummy tuck is commonly included in a Mommy Makeover.
A 270-degree tummy tuck uses an incision extending around the hips to the back. This more extensive tummy tuck removes more skin and is especially suitable after extreme weight loss.
A lipoabdominoplasty can make your abdomen look fitter and better defined. In this procedure, excess fat is removed by liposuction from the middle and lower abdomen. The muscles themselves are also tightened, creating a firmer abdominal wall.
This procedure is also commonly known as a belt lipectomy. It removes excess skin from the total circumference of the patient’s trunk.
