We offer various tummy tuck methods to suit your needs and body condition:

• A full abdominoplasty (lipo-abdominoplasty) combines a tummy tuck with liposuction. It’s ideal for those with significant fat deposits.
• A mini abdominoplasty is perfect for addressing issues below the navel or lower abdomen.

Preparing for a tummy tuck involves discussing your health, needs, and lifestyle with your plastic surgeon. To achieve the best results, be prepared to talk about:

• Expectations and desired outcomes: Share your goals and what you hope to achieve.
• Medical history: Your doctor will ask you about your health history, allergies, and previous treatments.
• Current medications: Inform your doctor about any medications, vitamins, supplements, alcohol, tobacco you are using.
• Previous surgeries: Discuss any past surgeries you have had.

 
Your surgeon may:

• Assess your general health: Evaluate your overall health and any medical conditions or risk factors.
• Take photographs: For your medical records.
• Discuss options and treatment plans: Provide recommendations based on your specific needs.
• Discuss potential outcomes and risks: The possible results and complications.
• Order blood tests and an EKG: To ensure you are ready for surgery.
• Go over medication restrictions: Ask you to stop taking aspirin-containing products two weeks before surgery.
• Ask you to stop smoking or using nicotine products four weeks before and four weeks after surgery.

 

• Anesthesia: Administered by an anesthesiologist to ensure you feel no pain during surgery.
• Incision: The surgeon makes an incision above the pubic area, the length depending on the amount of excess skin and fat.
• Fat layer separation: The surgeon separates the fat layer from the abdominal muscles.
• Muscle repair: If the abdominal muscles are weak, the surgeon will tighten them.
• Skin removal: Excess skin is pulled taut and removed.
• Navel adjustment: The surgeon may reposition the navel as needed.
• Closing the incision:  The surgeon will close the incision and may insert drainage tubes.

• Recovery: Expect to rest for at least 1-2 weeks.
• Wear compression garments: This helps reduce swelling and supports the skin’s adjustment to your new shape.
• Avoid strenuous activities: Refrain from strenuous activities for at least 4-6 weeks.
• Wound care: Follow your surgeon’s instructions on cleaning and caring for the incision.
• Take prescribed medications as directed.
• Maintain your new shape and overall health by eating well and exercising appropriately and regularly.

While tummy tucks are generally safe, there are potential complications:

• Infection
• Fluid accumulation
• Unfavorable scarring
• Anesthesia risks
• Skin discoloration and prolonged swelling
• Persistent pain
• Deep vein thrombosis complications
• Nerve damage
• Possible need for revision surgery

 
Results may not be permanent; weight gain or pregnancy can cause the skin to sag once again.
If you are interested in a tummy tuck, make sure to choose a certified and experienced plastic surgeon to assess your suitability and plan a personalized treatment.
