Abdominoplasty Procedure Information

Corpus Christi Abdominoplasty

A popular procedure among post-pregnancy patients, tummy tuck surgery (“abdominoplasty”) is designed for women who want to tighten the abdomen and achieve a slimmer waistline. Michael E. Decherd, M.D., F.A.C.S. is a San Antonio abdominoplasty surgeon who educates his patients on the many options that are available to them in a pressure-free environment. At The San Antonio Plastic Surgery Institute, Dr. Decherd has helped several patients of the San Antonio, Boerne, Laredo and Corpus Christi area achieve abdominoplasty results that are complementary to the rest of their bodies.

Texas Abdominoplasty

Women who want to rejuvenate their abdomen will receive a personalized surgery plan from Dr. Decherd during a consultation. Depending on the severity of excess, sagging skin, he will perform either a full abdominoplasty or mini tummy tuck. Typically, a woman who has minimal sagging skin in the lower abdomen and has the right combination of tightness above the belly button is the best candidate for a mini abdominoplasty. Dr. Decherd will further discuss these options during an initial consultation as well as the type of results to expect, including the abdominoplasty recovery process.

When undergoing an abdominoplasty surgery in Texas with Dr. Decherd, many patients also undergo complementary procedures, such as breast augmentation surgery (“augmentation mammaplasty”), breast lift surgery (“mastopexy”), or breast reduction surgery (“reduction mammaplasty”). A combination of body contouring procedures are often a part of a “Mommy Makeover,” which is a term used for post-pregnancy women who undergo multiple procedures to improve their feminine contours. Liposuction (“lipoplasty”) may also be performed to remove fat from the flanks and sides of the abdomen.
