A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a transformative cosmetic surgery procedure designed to create a flatter, more toned abdominal profile by removing excess skin and fat while repairing weakened or separated abdominal muscles.
Advanced abdominoplasty techniques are available including traditional full tummy tucks, mini tummy tucks, and extended tummy tucks. Each procedure is customized to address specific concerns, whether dealing with loose skin after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging.
During a consultation, abdominal anatomy is evaluated, aesthetic goals are discussed, and the most appropriate tummy tuck technique is recommended to achieve optimal results while maintaining natural body contours.
Remove excess skin and fat to create a smoother, firmer, more toned midsection.
Repair separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) for improved core strength and stability.
Feel more confident in your appearance and clothing choices with a slimmer waistline.
Surgically removed fat cells do not regenerate, providing long-lasting body contouring results.
Repairing abdominal muscles can reduce back pain and improve overall posture and support.
Eliminate uncomfortable skin folds and rashes caused by excess hanging abdominal tissue.

A full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdomen from ribcage to pubic area, removes significant excess skin, and repairs abdominal muscles above and below the navel. A mini tummy tuck focuses only on the lower abdomen below the navel with a shorter incision, removes less skin, and does not typically include muscle repair above the navel. your surgeon will recommend the best option based on your anatomy and goals.
Yes, tummy tuck surgery results in a permanent scar along the lower abdomen from hip to hip. However, your surgeon places the incision strategically along the bikini line where it can be easily concealed by underwear or swimwear. Scars are initially pink or red but fade significantly over time. Following scar care instructions helps minimize their appearance.
Yes, you can safely become pregnant after tummy tuck surgery. However, pregnancy can stretch the abdominal skin and muscles again, potentially reversing your surgical results. For this reason, it is strongly recommended to complete your family before undergoing abdominoplasty to maintain your results long-term.
Yes, tummy tuck surgery is often combined with other body contouring procedures such as liposuction, breast surgery, or thigh lift as part of a comprehensive mommy makeover or body transformation. Combining procedures can reduce overall recovery time and achieve more dramatic results. your surgeon will discuss safe combinations during your consultation.
