For adults, sagging skin and excess fat surrounding the abdomen can be frustrating and challenging despite attempts to get rid of it. Significant weight loss, childbirth, and aging are the primary reasons why someone may not be able to attain a tighter and slimmer tummy. Skin tightening of the abdomen is a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure that redefines the stomach area, producing attractive results for patients. New Orleans, LA area plastic surgeon Dr. Mark W. Stalder performs abdominoplasty that is based on the condition of the abdomen. This cosmetic treatment at Stalder Plastic Surgery allows patients the chance to have a redefined physique and renewed confidence. You can learn more about how abdominoplasty can eliminate excess skin and fat while also tightening the ab muscles by contacting us to schedule your consultation.
What Happens During Abdominoplasty?
Abdominoplasty is performed using general anesthesia. There are numerous surgical options that come into consideration when the surgery is performed by Dr. Stalder, which is tailored to the individual's specific goals. For starters, the incision length is selected based on the amount of excess skin. Some individuals with extensive loose skin may require an extended tummy tuck. This method places the incision from hip to hip, just above the pubic line. Some individuals who have minimal skin laxity may be better suited for a less invasive technique. Men and women who receive this treatment still benefit from skin tightening but will simply receive a less expansive scar. Regardless of how it is performed, all abdominoplasty procedures at Stalder Plastic Surgery involve the removal of sagging skin and fat.

Abdominoplasty FAQs
Does ab sculpting cause discomfort?
At Stalder Plastic Surgery, we utilize a general anesthetic for the duration of the surgery, so you should not have any discomfort. Following the procedure, there might be a small degree of inflammation, discomfort, and redness around the target location, but these are expected developments that should lessen as you recuperate. In the event that you have any inquiries in relation to the comfort level, please get in touch with our New Orleans aesthetic providers.
Will there be a scar after a tummy tuck?
Yes, a tummy tuck will leave a scar, typically located low on the abdomen where it can be concealed by underwear or swimwear. Surgeons take care to place incisions in the most discreet locations possible, and scars usually fade over time with proper care.
Can a tummy tuck be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Abdominoplasty is often combined with procedures like liposuction, breast surgery, or body contouring treatments for a more comprehensive transformation, often referred to as a "mommy makeover."

Stalder Plastic Surgery Reviews
Great Team, great work. I would recommend them to anyone or should I say everyone. Great job DR. STALDER, keep up the great work.
I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with the team at Stalder Plastic Surgery. They are sensitive, caring, professional, comforting and smart. They walked me through a life changing surgery and I felt that they were a constant source of support.
Dr. Stalder and his office staff are beyond amazing. They make you feel so comfortable and welcome. They made my reconstruction journey so pleasant and calming.
On August 1, 2023 at the age of 69 I was diagnosed with breast cancer in my right breast. So many things go through your mind at this time and so many choices to make. Within a week I had a team that consisted of an oncologist, radiologist, breast surgeon and plastic surgeon. All amazing doctors, but my plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Stalder, of Stalder Plastic Surgery hit it out the ballpark. My spouse and I went into our first visit with so many questions, we had a list, and each question was patiently answered. During a few consultations with Dr. Stalder I decided that I would do a double mastectomy with DIEP Flap reconstruction. Even though my cancer was only in my right breast I didn’t want the concern of it occurring in my left breast at a later date. Jess, Dr. Stalder’s patient rep had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. She had gone through the same surgery I was about to undergo. I spoke to her at length about my decision and what was to come. Jess was so very so helpful and supportive and really put my mind at ease with my decision. Abby, Dr. Stalder’s PA is the best, such a sweetheart. She was there for every visit from pre-op to all of my follow ups. When she went out on maternity leave, Alexa stepped in, once again another fabulous person. She made me feel as if she had been there from day one as well. I can’t leave Angie out either. On a few occasions when I called with a question and staff was with other patients she always answered my questions or made sure I got my question answered. The surgery I chose consisted of two surgeries, the first the Masectomy and DIEP flap and then a few months later there was the “tweaking” surgery. The second one was to even out my breasts and move the scar from the DIEP flap and tighten up my belly. The first surgery was September 19, 2023 and the second was on February 19, 2024. All through these surgeries Dr. Stalder and his amazing team have been right there along for the ride with me. Always patient and kind when I came in for follow-ups with my list of questions. Dr. Stalder always walks in with the biggest smile and makes you feel so comfortable. And let me tell you how important that is considering you are completely naked during those follow up visits. It’s been almost a year since my first surgery and I can’t thank Dr. Stalder, Jess, Abby, Alexa and Angie enough for their professionalism, kindness, compassion, making me feel like a person, not just a patient, and for giving my spouse piece of mind during this ordeal as well. You guys rock!
Dr. Stalder and his staff are deserving of more than 5 stars. They are truly the best - doctor, physician's assistant , Abby and office staff, Jess. My mastectomy and reconstruction surgeries were very difficult and had many unforeseen complications. Dr. Stalder was so caring and encouraging. He and his staff were never more than a phone call away. They were always patient and kind. The end results are amazing; he has made me feel whole again. I am forever grateful for Dr. Stalder and staff.
