Tummy Tuck – Abdominoplasty
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen. Tummy tuck is typically performed on people who have loose or sagging skin on their abdomen, often due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. One procedure that can greatly impact patients’ lives is the tummy tuck surgery. It is typically performed under general anesthesia like most of the surgeries.

Who Can Have Tummy Tuck?
- Post-Pregnancy Candidates:
Tummy tuck surgery can be an effective option for those who have tried exercise and dieting but are unable to achieve the desired results.
- Weight Loss Patients:
Individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight, either through lifestyle changes or bariatric surgery, often have loose skin and excess tissue in the abdominal region.
- Aging and Sagging Skin:
With age, the skin loses elasticity, and the abdominal muscles may weaken, leading to sagging in the abdominal area. Tummy tuck surgery can address these concerns by removing excess skin
- Diastasis Recti:
Tummy tuck surgery can repair diastasis recti by suturing the abdominal muscles back together, resulting in a flatter abdominal appearance.

Tummy Tuck Recovery
Tummy tuck surgery is a major surgery, and recovery can take several weeks. You will need to wear a compression garment for several weeks after surgery to help support your abdomen and reduce swelling. You may also experience some pain and discomfort. Most people are able to return to work and normal activities after about six weeks.
The recovery time and guidelines after a tummy tuck surgery can vary depending on individual factors and the specific surgical technique used. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s instructions and consult with them regarding your post-operative care and activity restrictions. Typically, strenuous physical activities, including sports, are discouraged for a certain period after surgery to allow for proper healing. Returning to sports too early could potentially lead to complications or hinder the healing process.
Tummy Tuck Before and After
The first step is to schedule a consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in tummy tucks. During this initial appointment, you will discuss your goals, expectations, medical history, and any concerns you may have.
If you are considered a candidate for a tummy tuck, your surgeon will conduct a thorough medical evaluation. Then, your surgeon will explain the different types of tummy tucks available and help you determine which technique is most appropriate for you.
Before the surgery, your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions to follow in the days or weeks leading up to the procedure. On the day of the surgery, you will typically need to arrive at the surgical facility or hospital, where you will undergo various pre-operative preparations. The anesthesia provider will administer the anesthesia and closely monitor you throughout the surgery to ensure your safety and comfort.
Will You Have Tummy Tuck Scar?
It’s important to have realistic expectations regarding the scar. Yes, undergoing a tummy tuck procedure will result in a scar. The scar is an inevitable part of the surgery as it is necessary to remove excess skin and reshape the abdominal area. However, the extent and visibility of the scar can vary depending on factors such as the surgical technique used, the individual’s healing process, and the surgeon’s skill.
Efforts are made to place the incision in an area that can be concealed by underwear or swimwear, and the surgeon will make every attempt to minimize the scar’s visibility. After the surgery, the scar will gradually fade over time but may remain visible to some extent.
