TUMMY TUCK (ABDOMINOPLASTY)
Over time, loose or sagging skin can create a noticeable lower tummy bulge. Women in particular may notice this protrusion after pregnancy causes the skin and muscles of the abdominal region to stretch. At our Chicago cosmetic surgery center, the tummy tuck or abdominoplasty procedure is performed to help patients achieve a flatter and more proportionate midsection, reducing the appearance of a tummy bulge. Usually performed under general anesthesia, the tummy tuck takes approximately two hours to complete. Temporary side effects may include pain, swelling, soreness, numbness, and bruising, and most patients are able to return to work and light activities in two to four weeks.
During your tummy tuck, Dr. Horn can remove excess fat and skin and tighten the abdominal muscles to help achieve the results you desire. He can tailor the procedure to fit your body type and appearance goals. Many patients at our Chicago, Illinois practice turn to the tummy tuck procedure for a more flattering and defined shape.

Despite careful dieting and diligent exercise programs, some patients are unable to eliminate localized deposits of fat in the body. Common problem areas include the inner and outer thighs, calves, knees, hips, abdomen, upper arms, neck, and cheeks.

The procedure, which can take two hours or more, is typically performed under local or general anesthesia. Side effects including bruising, swelling, numbness, and discomfort, all of which are temporary and most patients are able to return to work and light activities in less than one week.
Liposuction can be an ideal option for patients concerned with scarring. Excess fat is removed using a tiny tube inserted through small incisions. For even more dramatic results, some patients at our Chicago center choose to combine tummy tuck and liposuction procedures. Dr. Horn can work with you to determine if this method will help you achieve your personal goals and develop a treatment tailored to your specific needs.

Dramatic weight loss achieved with either surgical or traditional methods can be a life changing experience. Patients often find themselves with more energy, improved self-confidence, and a greater quality of life. Unfortunately, extreme weight loss may also result in excess sagging skin. This problem can only be corrected with plastic surgery techniques to remove the loose skin and restore a more natural shape. A body lift at our Chicago center can create a more defined, attractive appearance.
Depending on the individual goals of the client, Dr. Horn can utilize body lift techniques to improve the appearance of the arms, breasts, abdomen, back, buttocks, and thighs. The procedure may be completed in a single step or in several stages, based on your unique needs.
