Tummy Tuck Surgery in Ottawa
Tummy tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, is done to provide patients with a slimmer, tighter, and more toned midsection. There are different reasons why people undergo this procedure and different types of tummy tuck surgeries are used to achieve beautiful, natural results. The goal is to provide a tighter and slimmer abdominal contour with your incision lines as well-hidden as possible.
Dr. Ian MacArthur is a Top Rated, Award Winning Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Ottawa who can help you achieve the aesthetic results you desire.
What is a Tummy Tuck?
Abdominoplasty has three tissue targets: skin, fat, and muscle. Stubborn fat, excess skin, and stretch marks are often the main reasons patients seek out abdominoplasty surgery.
Weight loss and post-pregnancy changes can leave the skin stretched out and sagging. Gravity and age can also contribute to overall laxity. A tummy tuck removes all your extra skin on the front of the abdomen, leaving behind a flatter, often more athletic-looking contour.
Sometimes there is also excessive subcutaneous fat present during tummy tuck surgery. In these cases, liposuction can be added to produce a flatter, tighter result.
Lastly, with a past pregnancy, there's often a separation of the core muscles of the abdomen (also known as rectus diastasis). This separation is normal post-pregnancy but can result in abdominal bulging and even compensatory back pain. If a diastasis is present, the muscles are repaired back to their normal position during a tummy tuck.
Types of Tummy Tucks:
Tummy tuck procedures are often combined with breast surgery, such as augmentation with implants or breast lift surgery. These combinations are often referred to as a “Mommy Makeover” and are a specialty of New Age Medical Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery.
The Procedure
When patients wake up, a bandage is on their abdomen, as well as a binder. The binder is an elastic compression device that helps decrease swelling and provides support post-surgery. No drains are typically needed with abdominoplasty surgery.
Most patients take two weeks off work, which can vary depending on their job. The binder is typically worn for 4 weeks; after this point, there are no further physical restrictions.

The surgeon you select is the determining factor on the results you're going to achieve. When selecting a Plastic Surgeon, it's important to understand that the cost of surgical procedures is determined by the surgeon's experience, expertise, and surgical talent.
Getting surgery with a Top Rated Plastic Surgeon is expensive, however, getting surgery done by a less expensive, less qualified surgeon is much more expensive in the long run. At New Age, a big part of Dr. Ian MacArhur's practice is correcting another plastic surgeon's previous work. Botched cases are very costly to fix. Choosing the right surgeon is the number one, most important step to take. Take your time, and do your research.
