Dramatic weight loss, pregnancy and even aging can cause abdominal muscles to lose their elasticity over time, even if you’re eating healthy and exercising on a regular basis. A Tummy Tuck surgery can reduce fat and excess skin around the midsection and even tighten the stomach muscles, resulting in a smoother, flatter-appearing abdomen.

Tummy Tuck to Reduce Fat

Tummy Tucks are one of the top five plastic surgeries performed in the country each year. The procedure consists of removing excess skin and fat in the upper and lower abdomen, accompanied with repositioning and/or tightening the stomach muscles. Depending on the complexity of the surgery, the belly button may also require some repositioning. Abdominoplasty is an effective way to restore your body after weight loss or regain your pre-pregnancy body.

Mini-Tummy Tuck and Partial Tuck

When you first meet with your plastic surgeon, he or she will discuss several options for your Tummy Tuck, including whether a complete or partial tummy tuck, sometimes called a mini tummy tuck, would be best. Most patients choose a complete tummy tuck, which requires only a two-week recovery. A partial tuck, or Mini-Tummy Tuck, focuses more on removing loose skin rather than fat, so requires a smaller incision. For both types of Tummy Tuck, your surgeon will make a horizontal incision across the top of your pubic area, near the navel. Through that incision, your surgeon will remove excess fat and skin and repair weaker abdominal muscles.


Tuumy Tucks are especially effective at correcting:

 

  • Separated or weakened abdominal muscles.
  • Excess or sagging abdominal skin.
  • Excess abdominal fat.

 


TUMMY TUCK FAQS

  • LIPO OR ABDOMINOPLASTY?

    Tummy tucks are reserved for patients who have stretched, loose skin in the lower abdomen as a result of pregnancy or obesity. Liposuction, on the other hand, is for those who want to remove excess fat in the abdomen, but still have a healthy skin tone. During the initial consultation, we will provide a thorough assessment and determine if liposuction alone is all that is needed, or if a tummy tuck will provide the best results. 

  • COMBINING PROCEDURES?

    Normally, abdominoplasty is performed to improve loose skin and excess fat around the abdomen area. However, sometimes other cosmetic procedures, such as breast augmentation or a breast lift, are done to further improve the overall look and feel of the body. When this combination type of surgery exists, it is known as a “mommy makeover”. It is very popular among women after pregnancy who wish to get their pre-pregnancy body and shape back to normal.

  • HOW BAD ARE THE SCARS?

    Unfortunately, with a tummy tuck surgery, scars are unavoidable. However, extra measures are taken to make sure that scarring is minimal. The incision line is placed in areas that can be concealed by undergarments. Previous C-section scars will be incised in the same spot for the tummy tuck. During the healing process, we will provide a post-operative protocol that includes scar treatment to help assist the scars in becoming less visible.  

  • PREGNANCY AFTER TUMMY TUCK?

    It is our recommendation that women who decide to have more children delay a tummy tuck procedure. The stretching of the skin as a result of another pregnancy can reduce the positive outome of this procedure.
