The results of a tummy tuck are visible almost immediately, however it may take several months for your final results to fully develop. Numbness and a firm feeling over the skin’s surface will resolve over the following months. It may take a year or more for incision lines to refine to some degree. Your new profile with a firm and flat abdomen is relatively permanent, so long as you maintain your weight and general fitness. Here at the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery we will provide and prepare for you a course of treatment recommended by Dr. Michelle Hardaway, board-certified plastic surgeon. www.michellehardawaymd.com

Plastic surgery has become a staple of popular culture. At the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Laser Center Dr. Michelle Hardaway is known for her expertise with several surgical procedures. The abdominoplasty, commonly known as the tummy tuck, is performed on men and women who have excess skin and fat around the abdominal area. It is very useful after pregnancy or for people who have lost weight. At the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Laser Center we are working with younger patients who are now getting tummy tucks. Women in their late 20’s and early 30’s- these are women who want it all, family, career and a great body. Many of the women in this generation have their belly button pierced. Current fashion for younger women also calls for low-cut jeans that show off the belly button and a flatter abdomen. We also do the procedure on men as they want to look appealing during the summer months! Dr. Michelle Hardaway is a female, board certified plastic surgery who welcomes your questions and comments via phone at 248-855-6030 or email at surgplast2@aol.com.

What is the Tummy Tuck Procedure

Tummy Tuck is a surgical procedure which will remove excess fat and skin, and tighten the muscles of your abdomen, making a more flat abdomen. This plastic surgery procedure can take anywhere from 2-5 hours. Most patients are back to work within 3-4 weeks.

After your surgery, Dr. Hardaway will give you instructions on exactly what you can and can not do. To answer a couple of common questions, she will direct you on how to change your dressings, how to shower, and how to be most comfortable.
