Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Gary Horndeski, M.D., in Houston, TX, offers this procedure, which lasts from two to three hours. He has over 30 years of experience and patients give him top reviews for his expertise and caring personality. Do you want a Tummy Tuck? If so, reach out to this seasoned and beloved doctor in Sugar Land. He will provide you with a consultation to go over the steps involved in this procedure and its benefits.

What does a Tummy Tuck do?

A Tummy Tuck removes the extra skin and fat from the abdomen. The cosmetic procedure involves the skin being draped back over the newly repositioned contours to form a more toned look. The procedure improves the appearance of the abdomen.Diet and exercise will tone your muscles and reduce weight, but it is unable to reduce loose skin from your abdomen area. In contrast, a Tummy Tuck will help tighten the skin and reshape your tummy, especially if you just lost a lot of weight.

Women who are left with stretch marks or loose skin after giving birth are ideal candidates for this procedure, which will reduce and even remove marks and sagging loose skin. Then there are those who have scars from previous surgeries. A Tummy Tuck will tighten the skin in the areas of the scar (s) and help improve the look of your tummy, leaving you looking and feeling sexy, beautiful & confident!

How long do Tummy Tucks last?

Tummy Tucks are intended to be permanent, however, you will need to maintain a stable weight at the time of surgery for best results. By following a healthy diet and regular exercise routine, the aesthetic results from a Tummy Tuck are long lasting. Dr. Gary Horndeski will help advise you on the best steps in keeping your weight down and he will work with you on the best foods to eat for a proper diet.

Can you gain any belly fat after a Tummy Tuck?

While the Tummy Tuck can last indefinitely, gaining weight after surgery will compromise your results. So, yes, you can gain belly fat following a Tummy Tuck, but your doctor will advise you on how to avoid future weight fluctuations and will recommend that women have the surgery once they are done having children.

Does Tummy Tuck remove back fat?

A Tummy Tuck will not remove fat on your back. However, there are other procedures available that will remove your unwanted fat in this area, and Dr. Horndeski will recommend the best procedures with you during your initial consultation.
