Tummy Tuck Fayetteville
We offer Tummy Tucks in Fayetteville, AR, which is a procedure that flattens, reshapes, and enhances the look of the abdominal area by removing excess fat and skin and tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall.
What can an abdominoplasty address?
The most common causes of loose abdominal skin and weakened or separated stomach muscles include:
- Aging
- Heredity
- Pregnancy
- Prior surgery
- Significant fluctuations in weight
With an abdominoplasty in Fayetteville, AR, the overall appearance and definition of the abdomen can be significantly improved, addressing concerns such as a stomach bulge, loose skin, and stretch marks.
Many of us aspire to be physically fit and engage in regular exercise and dieting. However, these methods aren’t always effective or productive in creating the desired aesthetic results.
What is a Tummy Tuck?
Radiance by Roller offers three variations on the tummy tuck procedure:
- Full tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
- Mini tummy tuck
- Panniculectomy
Benefits of a full tummy tuck include:
- A flatter and smoother abdomen
- Reduced appearance of stretch marks
- Enhanced comfort in clothing and overall confidence
Mini tummy tuck
A popular variation of abdominoplasty is called the mini-tummy tuck. This procedure uses a shorter incision just above the pubic region, similar to the incision for a C-section. A mini tummy tuck is used to tighten the lower abdominal muscles and remove excess lower abdominal skin and fat.
The ideal candidate for a mini tummy tuck is a patient whose main area of concern is below the belly button. Recovery time after this procedure is shorter than for a full tummy tuck. A mini tummy tuck doesn’t reposition the belly button; however, it does remove excess skin and tissue and repair weak abdominal muscles.
Panniculectomy
A panniculectomy removes excess skin and tissue from the lower abdomen. Unlike a tummy tuck, this procedure does not tighten the abdominal muscles. A panniculectomy is most helpful for individuals who want to be free of excess, saggy skin from the lower abdomen, sometimes referred to as an “apron” that covers the groin.
In general, you may be a good panniculectomy candidate if:
- You are physically healthy and at a stable weight
- You have realistic expectations
- You are a nonsmoker
- You are bothered by the appearance of your abdomen
- You have recurring or persistent rashes or infections underneath a hanging, apron-like fold of skin

Recovery after abdominoplasty
The recovery period following an abdominoplasty procedure depends largely on whether you received a full tummy tuck, mini tummy tuck, or panniculectomy. Typically, the more extensive the surgery, the lengthier and more complex the recovery process will be. In some cases, it can take up to 6 weeks for a full recovery.
What is the recovery period like after a mini tummy tuck and panniculectomy?
The recuperation from less intensive procedures – such as mini tummy tucks and panniculectomies can often be accomplished in just a few weeks. During the healing process, it is important to follow the doctor's instructions for care precisely; this includes wearing any prescribed compression clothing for the necessary length of time and avoiding strenuous physical activity. Furthermore, it is imperative that you rest adequately to ensure a complete and successful recovery from your procedure.
