A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, resulting in a smoother, firmer midsection. Whether you want to tighten loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy, this procedure can help you regain a more toned and contoured appearance. We also offer the option of a mini tummy tuck, targeting just the lower abdomen.
Am I a Good Candidate?
An abdominoplasty may be right for you if you’re in good health, maintain a stable weight, and are bothered by excess skin or weakened muscles in the abdominal area. It’s ideal for those who haven’t succeeded with diet and exercise alone.
What Should I Know?
Understanding that this surgery is not a substitute for weight loss or a fitness program is essential. The procedure is most effective after weight stabilization. Also, keep in mind that there will be a tummy tuck scar, but our skilled surgeons take care to place it as discreetly as possible.
What Should I Expect from my Tummy Tuck?
During your consultation, we’ll explain the full details of the procedure, including your personalized treatment plan. You’ll also have the chance to see before-and-after photos to understand better the results you can expect. The procedure usually takes a few hours, and you’ll be under general anesthesia.
How Long is Recovery?
The recovery period for a tummy tuck varies, but most patients can resume light activities within two weeks. A complete recovery may take 6-8 weeks, and it’s important to follow your surgeon’s advice for post-surgery care. We’ll be with you every step of the way to ensure a smooth recovery.
Are Tummy Tuck Results Permanent?
Your tummy tuck surgery results are generally long-lasting, especially if you maintain a healthy lifestyle and stable weight. While aging and future pregnancies can affect results, your improved abdominal contour will remain much more toned.
Considerations
