St. Louis Tummy Tuck Surgeons – Renaissance Plastic Surgery
Over the years, Drs. Boschert, Craig and Mills have helped hundreds of St. Louis tummy tuck patients realize their dreams of a flat, smooth stomach appearance. These dedicated surgeons recommend tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) for individuals who are near their ideal weight but have loose skin and/or stretch marks in the abdominal area. By carefully re-arranging the abdominal tissues, Drs. Boschert, Craig and Mills can create an aesthetically pleasing midriff appearance that Saint Louis tummy tuck patients are proud to show off in bathing suits and figure-fitting clothing.
Tummy Tuck in St. Louis: Is It For Me?
A surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the midsection, a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is especially helpful for those patients who retain stubborn excess weight in the abdominal region. Following the tummy tuck procedure, patients can expect a flatter, more defined, and more attractive stomach.
The tummy tuck procedure is utilized to remove excess fat and skin from the midsection and tighten the underlying abdominal muscles. After the surgery, the incisions are covered with bandages, and a small tube may be used to drain excess fluid. Our St. Louis tummy tuck surgeons will prescribe medication that can be used to alleviate discomfort during the initial tummy tuck recovery period. At our St. Louis, MO plastic surgery facility, stitches are typically removed about a week after surgery, although deeper sutures may be in place for up to three weeks.
Recovery after Abdominoplasty
Our plastic surgeons may provide you with a pain pump to use after your procedure to help alleviate discomfort during the initial recovery period. The post-op pain relief system provides continuous infusion of a local anesthetic directly into the surgical site for effective, non-narcotic and non-sedating post-operative pain relief for up to 5 days. This reduces your overall pain level and the need for narcotic pain medications to control potential breakthrough pain. Simply stated, it allows our tummy tuck St. Louis patients to return to their normal activities more quickly and comfortably. For more information about the use of the pain pump, please contact us.
