OVERVIEW

Have pregnancy and weight changes left you with a flabby abdomen? Do you desire a flatter firmer tummy? If yes, a tummy tuck procedure (also called stomach tuck or tummy surgery) may be what you need to realize your dream. Medically termed abdominoplasty, this is a surgical procedure that improves the contour of your stomach.

Tummy surgery is often desired by patients in Houston after they have lost weight, after pregnancy, or due to aging. During the procedure excess skin and fat are removed from the lower abdomen and the muscles of the stomach are tightened by a plastic surgeon. The belly button is moved into a new more attractive position.

Schedule your consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bachilo today to learn how you can have a slimmer silhouette and a more appealing abdomen you have been dreaming of.  Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa is located in Houston, just a short distance from Katy.

CONSULTATION

What to Expect During Abdominoplasty Consultation?

Dr. Bachilo will review your medical history, perform an exam, and listen to what you would like to achieve.  She will offer different options for treatment and together with you design the best tummy tuck plan to attain your ideal result, whether you desire a mini, full, or extended tummy tuck. Dr. Bachilo will discuss any risks related to the procedure and give you instructions on how to best get ready for your operation. Your tummy tuck options in Houston include a traditional, full tummy tuck, drainless tummy tuck, mini tummy tuck, or non-surgical options. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Bachilo will recommend the option that is best suited to your unique needs.

PROCEDURE

How Is Abdominoplasty Performed?

The traditional tummy tuck is done at an outpatient surgical center or a hospital under general anesthesia. The procedure usually takes 2.5 to 3 hours and patients may go home or choose to stay at the hospital overnight.

An incision is made in your lower tummy and around the navel. The abdominal skin and fat are raised from the abdominal wall for access. Loose tummy muscles are tightened with stitches to produce a flatter belly. Excess skin and fat are removed and the incision is closed with all absorbable sutures. The incision around the belly button is also closed. Most of the time two drains are placed in the abdomen. An abdominal binder is used for support.

RECOVERY

What to Expect During Tummy Tuck Recovery

It is normal for tummy tuck patients to experience some pain and mostly tightness in the abdomen. You will feel like there is a corset around your torso. You will have some bruising and swelling as well.

Dr. Bachilo will follow you closely during your recovery. Your drains will be removed within the first week or two. Sutures do not need to be removed as they will all be absorbable.

Dos and don’ts after abdominoplasty:

  • Do wear your surgical compression garment or abdominal binder for 4 to 6 weeks.
  • Ambulate early after your tummy tuck surgery.
  • Don’t do any heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for 4 to 6 weeks.
  • Don’t drive while taking your narcotic pain medications.

Six weeks after surgery you can resume all of your regular activities including exercise and core training.

COMBINING PROCEDURES

Can Tummy Tuck Be Combined with Other Procedures?

Abdominoplasty is often combined with adjunct surgical procedures such as body lift and liposuction.  Abdominoplasty is also one of the procedures within the mommy makeover, designed to achieve comprehensive results while minimizing tummy tuck cost.

Liposuction

To further improve torso contour, liposuction of the hips and flanks can safely be performed at the same time as the abdominoplasty.

Body Lift

Specifically indicated for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight, circumferential body lift removes excess tissue on hips and buttocks, and can safely be combined with a full tummy tuck. The procedure begins with the patient lying on their tummy and excision of the back and hip excess tissues is done first. The patient is then turned on the back and a full abdominoplasty is performed.

Mommy Makeover

The term mommy makeover is used for a combination of procedures that usually involves a full tummy tuck and breast surgery. Breast procedure of choice may be breast reduction, breast augmentation with implants, breast lift, or a combination of lift with implants.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tummy Tuck

How soon after pregnancy can I have an Abdominoplasty?

It would be best if you waited at least one year after giving birth before undergoing a tummy tuck. Pregnancy causes a multitude of physiologic changes in a womans body. This, in turn, causes tissues and skin looseness. It would be best if you waited to have your body return to the pre-pregnancy state before having surgery. Also, if you desire to have more children, it is advisable to wait to have a tummy tuck after you are done with having children. The history of a tummy tuck will not impede a woman from carrying a healthy pregnancy to term. However, pregnancy can loosen the tummy again and undo previously achieved results.

What do Tummy Tuck scars look like?

A tummy tuck scar is placed low in the abdomen from hip to hip. If you wear a shallow style of bikini, it would be helpful to bring it with you the day of your surgery so that Dr. Bachilo can do your surgical marking in the garment to ensure that the incision is concealed within the garment. Sometimes a small vertical incision is also needed. There will also be a scar around the navel once it’s put in the new position. Unless you have scars and know how your body heals, it is difficult to predict how your scars will heal. Many things influence final scar appearance, but genetics is the most important factor for the ultimate scar appearance.
After the incision is well healed, scar management can begin with silicon-containing products to help mature and improve scars appearance. Dr. Bachilo will instruct you when you can start scar management after all of your incisions are healed. She will also recommend some scar management options and may recommend some scar products to try.

Can I have a Tummy Tuck with no drains?

Two drains are frequently used during abdominoplasty and secured to the skin with sutures. Drains stay in for about a week or two, and patients are incrusted on drain care and how to measure drain amounts. Drains prevent fluid collection in the abdomen. Certain patients may be good candidates for drain-free abdominoplasty. Dr. Bachilo uses a specialized technique during a tummy tuck. She places special sutures, called progressive tension sutures, inside the tummy, which helps decrease the amount of fluid accumulation and thus decrease the need for drains. Dr. Bachilo can make recommendations on whether your tummy tuck can be a drain-free tummy tuck.

What is an Abdominoplasty?

When to Consider Male Tummy Tuck

If you have tried diet and exercise or other less invasive procedures and failed to get rid of the unsightly sagging skin and fat around your abdomen and improve your muscle tone with no results, tummy tuck surgery may provide the extra help you need to trim that waistline. Known in the medical world as abdominoplasty, also known as Tummy Tuck, is a popular surgical procedure that removes loose skin and pockets of fat from the waistline, hips, and flanks, and tightens the abdominal muscles, to produce a more muscular contour and a leaner physique.

Men of any age may consider a tummy tuck procedure, but you should be in generally good health with no contraindications to undergo elective surgery or have conditions that impair the healing process. Particularly in younger men, we normally recommend that you attempt to lose belly fat and tone your abdomen through diet and exercise. In many cases, a tummy tuck will help you to trim off those last stubborn inches after you’ve reached your weight loss goal.

Men who spent many years doing work that requires long hours of sitting or driving may also want to consider a tummy tuck to restore a firmer, tighter waistline and a flatter tummy.  In middle-aged or older men or men who have undergone dramatic weight loss and lost elasticity in the skin, tummy tuck surgery can be combined with male breast reduction (gynecomastia) surgery and/or liposuction to achieve a tight, toned, masculine physique.

BENEFITS

What Are the Benefits of Male Tummy Tuck

A male tummy tuck is performed to correct such conditions as a soft, protruding belly, with loose and sagging skin and excess fat built up around the waistline, such as a “spare tire” or “love handles.” The procedure produces a younger-looking, leaner, more sculpted waistline with a flatter belly and tighter abdominal muscle tone.  Eliminating that roll of fat from around your midsection and tightening the waist and abdomen will not only take years off your appearance, it will also elevate your self-confidence, improving your overall quality of life.

But the benefits of male tummy tuck go far beyond the cosmetic.  It is medically known that accumulated fat in the midsection increases one’s risk of developing conditions such as Diabetes, due to the pressure that accumulated fat puts on the organs and glands in the midsection, which means that trimming your waistline will also improve your overall health and physical stamina.

Frequently Asked Questions About Male Tummy Tuck

WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER A MALE TUMMY TUCK?

If you are unhappy with excess fat and sagging skin in your abdomen, fed up with that spare tire you can’t get rid of no matter how hard you try to tone up your physique, you should consider a male tummy tuck or abdominoplasty to help you achieve a tight, flat abdomen with a reduced waistline.

WILL A MALE TUMMY TUCK MAKE ME LOSE WEIGHT?

The Tummy Tuck is a body contouring procedure and not a weight loss procedure; however, Tummy Tuck surgery can make a patient look slimmer and trim away excess fat from the abdomen and waistline, helping you reduce inches and providing a tighter and slimmer body contour.

WILL A MALE TUMMY TUCK GET RID OF SAGGING SKIN ON MY ABDOMEN?

Yes. A Tummy Tuck will eliminate sagging skin and folds of fat on the abdomen, as well as that \u201cspare tire\u201d and \u201clove handles\u201d around your waistline.

WILL A MALE TUMMY TUCK GIVE ME SIX-PACK ABS?

A male Tummy Tuck on its own can’t guarantee this, but when combined with Liposuction the six-pack may be achieved if performed using a technique called Abdominal Etching, which strategically removes layers of fat from the belly to contour and define the abdominal muscles.

HOW MUCH DOES A MALE TUMMY TUCK COST IN HOUSTON, TX?

The price of tummy tuck surgery in Houston varies depending on the extent of the procedure, the size and severity of the treatment, and how much time it will take to perform. Other factors that contribute to the cost of abdominoplasty include the facility in which the procedure is performed and the surgical techniques used. The average cost for a tummy tuck surgery may range between $8,500 and $10,000, including the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, medical facility, and other expenses.

CAN I COMBINE A MALE TUMMY TUCK WITH OTHER PROCEDURES?

Yes. Very frequently, men come in for Male Tummy Tuck with Abdominal Etching and Gynecomastia, or Male Breast Reduction treatment. Taking advantage of one surgical session to accomplish several aesthetic goals at once not only makes sense in terms of the cost savings but also because it will spare your body repeated incidences of anesthesia exposure as well as recovery time.

OVERVIEW

Drainless Tummy Tuck

Whether you’ve had a few kids, lost a significant amount of weight, or just can’t seem to keep your waistline and abdomen toned and trim through diet and exercise alone, you may consider a tummy tuck to achieve a shapelier mid-section.  Tummy tuck procedures are customized to each patient, so not all tummy tucks are performed by means of the same technique.

In many cases, your doctor may perform a drainless tummy tuck, which combines liposuction with surgery, a procedure that can deliver the most comprehensive results and entails the least complicated recovery.

PROCEDURE

What Is a Drainless Tummy Tuck?

A drainless tummy tuck essentially combines liposuction with a traditional tummy tuck using a specific layered suturing technique that eliminates the need for post-surgical drains.

The first step is to use liposuction to remove isolated areas of stubborn fat in the abdominal area. This helps to better tone and sculpt abdominal contours while minimizing the amount of surgical intervention that is needed to achieve your goals.

Next, an incision will be made along your abdomen, through which your plastic surgeon can tighten and remove loose skin and muscle tissue. Multiple layers of sutures will then be used, which negates the need for post-op drains.

BENEFITS

The Benefits of a Drainless Tummy Tuck

There are a variety of benefits to working with a plastic surgeon who offers the drainless tummy tuck technique. First, since this procedure combines liposuction with a tummy tuck, excess fat and loose skin can be addressed at the same time. Traditional abdominoplasty, on the other hand, offers a limited amount of correction for subcutaneous fat.

The other major benefit of a drainless tummy tuck is that the recovery process is generally much less complicated than that of a traditional procedure. With a drainless tummy tuck, you won’t have to worry about measuring a fluid output or emptying a drain while you recover. For most people, the recovery after a drainless tummy tuck is shorter than with a regular tummy tuck, and the scar tends to heal more smoothly as well.

RECOVERY

Recovery After a Drainless Tummy Tuck

After your drainless tummy tuck, you should expect to wear a compression garment for a few weeks to help manage swelling and expedite the healing process. Most people are able to return to light daily actives within 1 to 2 weeks after their procedure. As long as your job isn’t very physically demanding, you can expect to get back to your normal work schedule around this time as well.

Over the next several weeks, you should begin to notice gradual improvements to your body contours, with your final results being visible in about 6 to 8 weeks. Provided you stick to your healthy diet and exercising habits once you’ve fully recovered from your drainless tummy tuck, you should be able to enjoy the same great results for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drainless Tummy Tuck

WHAT IS A DRAINLESS TUMMY TUCK?

In a typical abdominoplasty, two drains are normally used to collect natural body fluids in order to prevent seroma. Many patients may now opt for a Drainless Tummy Tuck procedure, during which Dr. Bachilo uses a specialized technique to perform drain free abdominoplasty, done with specialized progressive tension sutures used inside the abdominal cavity to inhibit fluid accumulation and thus eliminate the need for surgical drains. Dr. Bachilo can advise you as to whether you may be a good candidate for Drainless Tummy Tuck.

WHO MAKES A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR DRAINLESS TUMMY TUCK?

Certain patients are more suited to a Drainless Tummy Tuck than others, and it’s typically those who maintain a leaner body and low Body Mass Index (BMI). Patients who have undergone gastric bypass or massive weight loss may not be suitable candidates for the Drainless Tummy Tuck. Dr. Bachilo will consider various factors in helping you to determine whether a Drainless Tummy Tuck procedure may be right for you.

OVERVIEW

What Is a Mini Tummy Tuck?

Unlike the full tummy tuck, a mini tummy tuck (mini tuck) is a surgical procedure that is designed to specifically reduce the “pouch” in the lower abdominal region. The mini tummy tuck specifically treats the problematic area between the navel and pubic bone, a part of the body that can become lax and saggy, as a consequence of pregnancy, dramatic weight loss, and/or simply as a consequence of a sedentary lifestyle combined with the aging process. While a full tummy tuck is a more invasive surgery that treats the entire abdominal region, including the upper abdomen.

In some cases, depending on your specific condition, you may not need a full tummy tuck and your plastic surgeon may instead opt for a mini tummy tuck, or partial abdominoplasty, designed to treat only the lower abdomen below the belly button.

IDEAL CANDIDATE

Who Should Consider a Mini Tummy Tuck?

Any healthy adult individual who has accumulated a pouch of sagging skin and fat in the lower abdomen and has seen a thickening of the waistline may be a good candidate for a mini tummy tuck. In some cases, where more excess fat is present, a drainless tummy tuck that includes liposuction may be a more appropriate procedure. If you need to treat a larger area of the abdominal region including the upper abdomen, a full tummy tuck may be the more appropriate choice rather than a mini tummy tuck. Dr. Bachilo will help you to determine which procedure may be best for you.

PROCEDURE

How Is the Mini Tummy Tuck Performed?

The mini tummy tuck, or partial tummy tuck, is typically performed using local anesthesia with sedation or may be performed under general anesthesia. The procedure begins by making a small hairline incision in the treatment area, through which Dr. Bachilo will then extract excess fatty tissue, then pull the skin taut, snip off any excess skin, along with its surface imperfections such as stretch marks, and suture the incision using self-dissolving stitches.

RECOVERY

Recovery After a Mini Tummy Tuck Procedure

Most patients are able to return home immediately following the mini tummy tuck surgery, but make sure you have someone to drive you home, as you may be drowsy from the anesthesia. You must follow your post-op instructions with regards to wearing support garments, resting, and avoiding strenuous physical activity for a prescribed period of time.  Most patients may return to work at jobs that do not require physical exertion after a few days following their mini tummy tuck, and it may take a few weeks before you can return to your normal exercise routine. It may take several weeks before you see the full effects of your smooth, taut, and toned lower abdomen.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mini Tummy Tuck

A Mini Tummy Tuck is performed only on the area of the abdomen located below the navel.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A MINI TUMMY TUCK?

Any healthy adult who wants to tighten only the muscles and skin of the lower abdomen may be able to take advantage of a mini tummy tuck surgery, which is less complex, and more economical, than a regular Tummy Tuck.

Overview

Nonsurgical Tummy Tuck: Addressing Skin, Fat and Muscle for a Complete Makeover

A lot of adult men and women are on the fence about plastic surgery, but many would love to see a more sculpted waistline, and a reduction of fat and sagging skin around the lower abdomen.

While a non-surgical tummy tuck won’t provide the same results as surgery, there are many candidates who can see dramatic improvements with nonsurgical options. At Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in Houston, patients have the option of undergoing a variety of procedures that can achieve a tummy tuck without surgery.

Typically, a no surgery tummy tuck will include a procedure to tighten the muscle and reduce fat, and a procedure to tighten the skin and possibly reduce or diminish the visibility of surface imperfections such as stretch marks, and cellulite.

Most nonsurgical skin tightening treatments use non-invasive devices to trigger the production of collagen in the subdermal layers of the skin. This process produces long-term, gradual results, as the skin shrinks and tightens over time, becoming firmer and moister thanks to increased collagen production that continues for several months after the procedure.

CoolSculpting

Targeting the fat - CoolSculpting

One of the most common procedures to help you achieve body contouring, including a more toned abdomen, a slimmer waist, and more contoured hips is CoolSculpting.

CoolSculpting is a safe non-surgical treatment that gently freezes away excess fat cells and sculpts a slimmer abdominal silhouette, with a more muscular definition. CoolSculpting also triggers collagen production that produces long-lasting results.

The visual effects of CoolSculpting develop gradually as treated fat cells begin to die off and disappear, evacuated by the body’s natural elimination system. The procedure produces a slimmer, more streamlined contour, eliminates bulges and fatty deposits such as love handles and spare tires, and effectively tones the muscles of the midsection, waistline, and abdomen.

CoolSculpting is performed using a special device that delivers precisely controlled cold to skin and muscle tissue. The procedure is painless and may freeze away as much as 20% of fat cells in the treatment area. These fat cells will appear to melt away gradually, giving the impression of natural weight loss.

CoolSculpting is a great weight reduction treatment for those who have less than 25-30 pounds of excess fat, and it has recently been approved by the FDA for skin tightening, but it will not produce the same results as a surgical tummy tuck. For optimal results, Dr. Bachilo may recommend combining a CoolSculpting treatment with an additional skin tightening treatment, and/or a skin resurfacing treatment in order to achieve more comprehensive improvements and a more dramatic makeover.

Venus Viva

Battling Stretch Marks - Venus Viva

The Venus Viva RF Skin Resurfacing treatment works by means of nanofractional radiofrequency technology to gently remove the outermost layer of skin and remove surface imperfections such as stretch marks and scars on that outer layer of skin.

The treatment also triggers the production of collagen which means you will see a continuation of gradual improvement in the skin’s tone and texture for several weeks after treatment.

Venus Legacy

Tightening the Skin - Venus Legacy

The Venus Legacy RF non-invasive skin tightening treatment combines multi-polar radiofrequency and pulsed electromagnetic energy to deliver precisely controlled heat to the subdermal skin layers underneath the skin’s surface to break down fat cells and improve contour and definition in treatment areas.

This process triggers the production of collagen and elastin, which restore plumpness to skin cells and strengthen underlying muscle tissue.

EmSculpt

Toning the Muscles – EmSculpt

Emsculpt is the first of its kind FDA cleared device to tone and build muscle. During 30 minute treatments performed twice a week for two weeks, one can expect on average a 16% increase in muscle bulk and a flatter more toned appearing midsection. Treatments are painless and fun.

Patients cannot get enough of Emsculpt and return to treat many different muscle groups for a full-body transformation.

I Am so Happy with My Breast Implant Results
Tamera Danna

Dr. Bachilo is such a wonderful surgeon. I am so happy with my breast implant results. Several friends who also had surgical procedures with Dr. Bachilo are extremely thrilled with her expertise! Eva does such a fantastic job on facials and skin treatments. The hydrafacials are GREAT!!! I am so thankful for Dr. Bachilo’s advice and knowledge of what looks good and what will be realistic. GREAT SURGEON!!!

Dr. Bachilo is an incredible doctor

Dr. Bachilo is an incredible doctor and has a very friendly and kind personality. I had been to many plastic surgeons and none made me feel comfortable and respected the way she did when talking with her. I will continue to see her no matter where I am in the U.S. - Google

You will leave happy every time.
Nica Conboy

Dr Bachilio and Eva are truly the best in their field. They both make you feel very comfortable and answer all of my annoying repetitive questions. I’ve not only had a complete mommy makeover with Dr Bachilio last year but I just finished emsculpt and cool sculpting on 2 areas and I can already feel it working. I can’t wait to see the final results in 2-3 months. If you are considering any form of plastic surgery or any spa treatment Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa is the place to go. They offer free consultations and I’m pretty sure you’ll Have an appointment made by the time you leave and you will leave happy every time. - RealSelf

A friend referred me to Dr. Bachilo. No regrets! She is knowledgeable, patient and did great work. I'm 3 weeks post op. No mishaps. My tuck was drainless and dare I say painless. She has a great staff! - Realself

Susu Susu

WOW! I AM SO PLEASED WITH DR. BACHILO'S EXPERTISE! I was so thankful for her honesty and knowledge of the products/procedures that I was wanting to have done. She guided me to the correct breast implant size and recovery was a breeze. When it came to my concern about wrinkles and lines she was extremely understanding and actually listened to me. She explained the different fillers and Botox products, which I am so pleased with everything she did to make me look younger!!! I have recommended her to several friends and will continue to do so!! Just go and see how wonderful she is!

Lower Body Lift Patient- Incredibly Amazing Results!
Houston, TX

Dr. Bachilo performed a lower body lift procedure on me. The work she did on my body and the results are more than amazing. It is life changing the difference it has made for me in how I look and feel. I will say again her work is incredible. From the first time I sat with her to discuss the procedure, to surgery day, and throughout the aftercare, Dr. Bachilo has been tremendous. Her attention to detail is to be applauded as well as her knowledge, confidence, directness, and kindness with you as a patient. I can not say enough how awesome this experience has been for me and how much I am grateful to her!
