View on GoogleAre You a Tummy Tuck Candidate?
Many of our abdominoplasty patients want to eliminate excess abdominal skin and share the following common qualities.
To be considered for a tummy tuck, you should be in good physical health, not smoke, and have realistic expectations for the results of your treatment. This is a common basic requirement for many plastic surgery procedures.
A tummy tuck can be a great option if you have experienced significant weight loss. You may have stretched skin that is too damaged to adjust to the slimmer contours of your stomach. A tummy tuck can eliminate that skin and help you achieve a toned physique.
Many women have excess skin, loose abdominal muscles, and stretch marks after having children. A tummy tuck can improve your curves, tighten the tummy, and even eliminate stretch marks after pregnancy and childbirth.
Allow Our Expert Surgeon To Evaluate Your Candidacy
Struggling with excess skin around the midsection can seriously harm self-confidence. This leads some women to wrongly believe they will not be suitable candidates for a procedure they want. Call or write to Dr. James E. Murphy so he can use his surgical expertise to determine if a tummy tuck is right for you.

Dr Murphy has wonderful bedside manor. He is able to present things honestly but in a way that doesn't feel judgmental. He actually declined to do a procedure on me because he felt it would not give good results. I appreciated his kindness and am very pleased with the results of my procedure.

View on GoogleTummy Tuck vs. Liposuction: What Is the Difference?
Many patients believe that a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is the same as liposuction. This misconception is completely understandable. However, the surgeries differ in what they can achieve.
Why Abdominoplasty Is Performed
An abdominoplasty smooths your abdomen. It comes with several different options, such as a traditional or mini tummy tuck. This is done by tightening your abdominal muscles and removing excess skin, as well as excess fat.
Why Liposuction Is Performed
Liposuction, on the other hand, strictly deals with the removal of fat. Unlike tummy tucks, liposuction can be used in a variety of areas beyond the abdomen, like the arms, buttocks, and chin.
For More Exquisite Results Combine an Abdominoplasty and Liposuction
Excess skin and excess fat can both be addressed when a plastic surgeon combines abdominoplasty with liposuction.
These two procedures can often be done at the same time. Combining these body contouring procedures means you will not have to return for an additional visit. Of course, this also depends on your candidacy and your cosmetic goals.
Dr. James E. Murphy will be fully transparent with you about your enhancement options. If he does not think that you are eligible for one or both of the procedures, he can recommend alternatives that may be better for your needs.
The Abdominoplasty Procedure Step-by-Step
For optimal safety, your tummy tuck will take place in a hospital here in the Reno area.
Greater Pain Relief with EXPAREL
We use EXPAREL®, an advanced pain reliever, to minimize discomfort and speed recovery. This is greatly beneficial to all of our abdominoplasty patients because it minimizes apprehension and improves the post-surgical experience. In fact, just one dose of this non-opioid can reduce pain for three days.
Tummy Tuck Results
As you heal, you will enjoy the results of your tummy tuck. Your stomach may be significantly more defined. Excess skin and fat deposits will be drastically reduced if not eliminated. Your stretch marks may also fade. As a result, you may look years younger and pounds thinner, and you could enjoy a greater sense of self-confidence than ever before.

Will There Be Scarring After My Tummy Tuck? Yes, but it can vary
Patients will experience a degree of scarring after their abdominoplasty, the extent of which depends on the type of tummy tuck performed. For instance, a mini tummy tuck will require smaller and fewer incisions than an extended tummy tuck.
Dr. James E. Murphy believes in taking a conservative approach to surgery, which allows him to enhance your natural beauty and minimize the potential of scarring.
With care and time, post-op scarring will usually fade. Scars can also be hidden easily when you wear many bathing suits, allowing you to feel confident in your new figure.
Can I Tighten My Abdominal Muscles With a Tummy Tuck? The Answer Is Yes
Can a Tummy Tuck Replace Weight Loss? No, a tummy tuck is not a weight loss substitute
No, tummy tucks cannot replace weight loss.
While you will likely lose several pounds of excess skin and fat, abdominoplasty is not intended to replace weight loss.
In fact, patients must be within about 10 or 15 pounds of their goal weight to be considered for the procedure, even if it includes added liposuction.
