Tummy Tuck in Detroit
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck in Detroit, is performed to remove excess skin and fatty tissue from the abdominal area and to tighten weak abdominal muscles.
After a tummy tuck in Bingham Farms performed by plastic surgeon Dr. Sabbagh, your midsection will appear slimmer and more taut. Oftentimes, patients feel much more comfortable showing off their midsections, even in swimwear.
For the surgery, an incision is made within an area hidden by a bikini type swimsuit. The excess skin and fat of the lower abdomen are excised and the muscle tightened. The operation includes repositioning the navel to its previous position. Any weakness of the abdominal wall will be repaired at the same time.

Risks involved with Body Contouring Surgery
No surgical procedure is risk free, and that includes body contouring surgery. Although cosmetic surgery is an elective procedure, every patient must understand that these procedures are real surgical operations that involve the potential for complications. However, most cosmetic surgery procedures are categorized as low risk when performed in an accredited facility, by a board certified plastic surgeon with the appropriate training qualifications.
Surgical risks can be categorized broadly into general risks and specific risks. General risks are the potential complications that are common to all surgical procedures, such as infection, bleeding, wound healing problems, and anesthetic complications. Specific risks are the potential complications that are unique to the specific facial surgery operations. A more detailed discussion about the specific risks and general risks of your specific facial procedure will be carried out during your surgical consultation.
The risk of complications from a facial surgery can be minimized with a combination of the proper knowledge, skill, sound surgical practices and by closely following your surgeon’s instructions on follow-up care during the recovery period.
