Tummy Tuck Dallas
Jump To:
When diet and exercise fail to achieve the waistline you desire, board-certified plastic surgeon Charles A. Wallace, M.D. performs tummy tuck surgery for Dallas and Plano area residents at their Dallas location. With perfected procedures, Dr. Wallace can help you attain a flat, well-toned abdomen.
What Is A Tummy Tuck?
The type of abdominal procedure you and Dr. Wallace select depends on the amount of excess skin present on your abdomen. A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, removes excess fat, skin and in most cases, can re-establish weakened or separated muscles, creating an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer. A tummy tuck will require an additional incision around the umbilicus, as well as a longer transverse abdominal incision, but can help to rebuild your abdominal core, anchoring your body contour. If a full tummy tuck is not needed then a mini tummy tuck can be performed.
The Best Candidates For A Tummy Tuck
Many people who have achieved significant weight loss can be left with large amounts of heavy, loose folds of skin around the abdomen, which can sag and lose elasticity as a result of being stretched for a long period of time. This excess skin can lead to rashes above the pubic area and along the groin and hips. The ideal candidates for tummy tuck surgery are those who have a combination of loose or excess skin on their abdomen and/or excess abdominal fat. Almost all women who have had children will also have some degree of abdominal muscle laxity. Any of these conditions can be corrected by a tummy tuck.
After researching for about a month on the upcoming surgery that I wanted to get done, I choose Dr. Wallace office for my consultation. Although I felt I had so many of my questions answered based on my own research, Dr. Wallace still educated me on information that only a doctor would know with YEARS OF EXPERIENCE under their belt. The consultation went so smooth. I booked my surgery that day. 2 weeks later I had my surgery and NOW I am 1 month out of surgery and I’m in love with my results. It was everything I wanted and MORE!!! I followed all of instructions he and his staff gave me. Everyone was polite, friendly and professional. Dr. Wallace made this girl VERY happy.

The Tummy Tuck Procedure
In a traditional tummy tuck, a horizontal incision is made just above the pubic hairline. The length of this lower abdominal incision is determined by the amount of excess skin. The skin is then dissected up toward the rib cage, the muscle is tightened, the belly button is repositioned, and excess skin is removed. Your cosmetic surgeon may also recommend combining liposuction with your tummy tuck procedure for the best results. The tummy tuck procedure is generally performed under general anesthesia and can often be performed as an outpatient procedure or with a one-night stay.

After Your Tummy Tuck Surgery
When you have your tummy tuck done at Charles A. Wallace, MD, the overall result will be a flatter, firmer abdominal contour that is more proportionate with your body type and weight. Your final results may be initially hidden by swelling and the inability to stand fully upright until internal healing is complete. Your new slimmer profile should be visible within a week or two following surgery. It might take several weeks or even months to fully appreciate the final result.
Getting Back to Normal Following Tummy Tuck Surgery
Following your tummy tuck procedure, your incision site will be stitched and bandaged. Dr. Wallace may have you wear either an elastic bandage or a compression garment to minimize swelling and to support your abdomen as it heals. It’s very important that you follow all of Dr. Wallace’s recovery instructions on wearing this garment and caring for the bandage in the days following surgery. Dr. Wallace will also instruct you on how to best position yourself while sitting or lying down to help ease the pain. Tummy tuck procedures are often performed as an outpatient procedure or with a one-night stay. If your tummy tuck is completed as an outpatient procedure, make certain you bring someone to drive you to and from surgery and to stay with you for at least the first night following surgery.
