If you are searching for the best tummy tuck surgeon in Cleveland, Dr. Michael Wojtanowski has decades of experience helping women and men restore their abdomens to  more desirable appearance.

A Tummy Tuck procedure, (abdominoplasty) removes loose, excess fat and skin and tightens muscles in the lower abdomen. It is a popular procedure particularly for women whose abdominals are weakened after childbirth and not as strong as before their pregnancies which is common. A tummy tuck can be life changing.

Other candidates are both men and women who have lost large amounts of weight and find their abdomens have loose or lax skin and fat as a result of weight loss or fluctuations in weight. Some people just can’t seem to lose lower belly fat even though they’ve tried dieting and exercise.

In some instances, a tummy tuck is paired with a breast augmentation or breast lift in what some refer to as a Mommy Makeover. It is also often combined with liposuction of areas such as the hips (love handles) and back fat (bra rolls). 

Benefits of Tummy Tuck

Patients report positive outcomes after their procedure. The benefits of a tummy tuck are many and can include:

·Permanently remove loose skin and fat.

·Clothes fit better.

·Improved self-confidence

·Restored flat tummy.

Candidates for a Tummy Tuck Procedure

A tummy tuck is an outpatient surgery performed at Surgiplex, Ohio Clinic’s full accredited outpatient surgical facility in Westlake, just west of Cleveland, Ohio. Dr. Wojtanowski has performed hundreds of tummy tucks and is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Michael Wojtanowski will assess your overall desires and health.

For example, you will have a better outcome if you don’t smoke and maintain a stable weight. Other considerations will be reviewed including previous abdominal surgeries and if a patient is planning on future pregnancies. 

Tummy Tuck Procedure Details

The type of tummy tuck you receive will depend on the amount of excess skin and fat you have and your desired results. 

During an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck, Dr. Michael Wojtanowski removes skin and fat using a special technique called drainless tummy tuck or no-drain which is more comfortable and results in a more rapid recuperation.

The most modern tummy tuck techniques are designed to minimize post operative discomfort by using the drainless technique and the installation of a numbing medication called Exparel, during the procedure. Exparel is a long-acting, local numbing anesthetic to help to lessen the post operative pain level.

There are three parts of an abdominoplasty procedure – liposuction, skin removal and muscle tightening. The procedure is customized to the patient’s anatomy. Some patients may only need fat removal with liposuction. Others may only require both liposuction and muscle tightening to achieve optimum results. There are patients who require additional skin removal.

Abdominoplasty surgery results are apparent immediately and help patients with renewed confidence in their figures.
