At our practice, we know that achieving natural-looking results is a top priority for our patients. Dr. Mune Gowda specializes in tummy tuck procedures that provide a flatter, more toned abdomen while maintaining a natural appearance.
In this blog, we discuss how you can get the sculpted-yet-natural results you want.
What Is a Tummy Tuck?
Abdominoplasty, better known as a tummy tuck, is surgery that eliminates excess skin and fat in your abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles.
This procedure is especially popular for patients who’ve lost a significant amount of weight (including post-bariatric surgery patients), women who’ve had babies, and people who feel unhappy with their bodies as they age.
All these factors can leave the abdomen stretched and sagging. A tummy tuck is a popular surgery on its own, but many people have combination surgeries. For example, a tummy tuck, breast lift, and liposuction combine to become a mommy makeover.
The Importance of a Natural Look
When considering a tummy tuck, our patients often ask whether the result will look natural. When you have Dr. Gowda as your surgeon, you can rest assured that the answer is an emphatic “yes.”
With nearly four decades of experience as a surgeon, he has unique skills and a sharp focus on his goal: Creating a look that complements your body’s natural contours. In a tummy tuck procedure, Dr. Gowda can:
- Trim extra skin
- Remove extra fat
- Flatten the abdomen
- Sculpt the abdomen
- Reduce stretch marks
- Repair stretched-out or torn muscles
- Improve the appearance of the navel
Dr. Gowda combines all these aspects of surgery to customize your tummy tuck for your body’s unique needs. This creates a natural look balanced with the rest of your body — no overly pulled or tight look.
Factors Influencing Natural Results
Having an elite plastic surgeon as your doctor is the biggest factor in getting natural-looking results, but you can also contribute to great results.
One of the most important things in this area is surgery prep. We take the time to educate our patients about what to expect and discuss realistic goals before surgery. Preparing in this way helps you feel happy and confident about your results.
We also guide our patients through the post-surgery period. Follow Dr. Gowda’s recovery guidelines closely, as this is the best way to heal quickly and see your results sooner.
