This is one of the recurring questions about tummy tucks. In the past, a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty was done as a multi-stage procedure. Nowadays, this is, in general, no longer the case. Using the most advanced techniques available, Dr. Linderman can in most cases get great cosmetic results with only one surgery. In fact, far more often than multiple surgeries being required to conduct a tummy tuck, it is possible to conduct multiple procedures during the same operation, if you are in good health and the tummy tuck required is not too extreme.

Of course, if you have a very large amount of tissue to be removed, and your abdominal muscles are very slack, Dr. Linderman may recommend conducting the abdominoplasty in multiple stages for safety's sake. Contact us today for an initial consultation during which Dr. Linderman will consider your health and body type to make an individualized recommendation.
