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."

Dr. Mark Stalder is an exceptional plastic surgeon, and my experience with his office came during a particularly challenging time in my life. With a strong family history of breast cancer on my maternal side, I made the decision to undergo a prophylactic double mastectomy with immediate DIEP reconstruction in an effort to prevent cancer. It was a difficult decision, but one that I did not take lightly. I chose to work with Stalder Plastic Surgery, and I am incredibly grateful for that choice. Throughout the process, every question I had was answered, and every concern I faced was addressed with professionalism and compassion. The entire team at Stalder Plastic Surgery supported me every step of the way, offering unmatched care and dedication.

When I decided to treat myself to a mastopexy for my 50th birthday, I asked some nurse friends who they recommended for a plastic surgeon. They both said they love and trust Dr Stalder and his team. His patients recover well, love their results, and have so much gratitude for Dr Stalder and his team. I am now among them!Without any pressure, Dr Stalder educated me about fat grafting to also add volume. I chose that option instead of mastopexy alone. I knew I’d love my results, but I didn’t fully appreciate how much of a perfectionist Dr Stalder is. He exceeded my expectations!Recovery was easy, results are beautiful, and I take every opportunity to refer people to Dr Stalder, so they can also have the best possible experience.
I had a great experience with Dr. Stalder and his team. He was very kind, informative, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. The staff (Jess) is friendly and welcoming, and Abby, the PA, was excellent as well. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
