The tummy tuck is done to flatten and contour the abdomen, remove loose skin as well as tighten the skin tissues. It can even tighten the underlying abdominal muscles and remove stretch marks from the lower abdomen. It’s commonly performed due to pregnancy, after weight loss and age-related changes to the abdominal area.

You must, however, remember that a tummy tuck is only suitable for you if you’re close to your ideal weight. Although this procedure involves fat removal, it shouldn’t be mistaken with a weight loss procedure. The surgeons can only remove a small amount of subcutaneous fat tissues. If you’re obese or overweight, you should ideally opt for weight loss programs or surgeries and then use the abdominoplasty to tighten the excess skin tissues following the weight loss.

• Do you have stretch marks, loose skin, and flab on your abdomen?
• Is unwanted belly flab harming your self-confidence?
• Are you close to your ideal body weight?
• Are you finished having children?
• Does your abdomen look permanently different after pregnancy or weight loss?
• Are you a nonsmoker or willing to stop smoking for the procedure?
• Are you in generally good physical health without underlying medical conditions?

If you answered “yes” to all of those questions, there is a good chance that you are an ideal candidate for our tummy tuck procedure.

Your tummy tuck process starts with a private consultation. We will review your medical history, examine your abdominal region, discuss your goals, and curate the ideal tummy tuck treatment plan. We collaboratively curate a treatment plan that addresses all your concerns.

Depending on the condition of your abdominal muscles, amount of unwanted fat, and your goals, we recommend the type of tummy tuck procedure for you, i.e., whether you need a mini, full, or extended tummy tuck. We also provide preparatory guidelines, such as avoiding nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications a few weeks before the tummy tuck.

The traditional, full tummy tuck is the most commonly performed option. It involves an incision that extends from hip-to-hip, along with a cut around the naval. It can address flab, loose skin, and lax muscles across the entire abdomen and often involves repositioning the belly button. This procedure is ideal for women experiencing diastasis recti post-pregnancy, i.e., separation of ab muscles due to pregnancy.

A mini tummy tuck is ideal for men and women who want to exclusively address unwanted flab on the lower abdomen. It involves one small incision and does not require moving the navel. The incision, measuring 4” to 8”, is similar to a c-section scar. The surgeon can also use an existing c-section scar as the incision point. This approach is associated with a shorter recovery time.

If you want your tummy tuck to include removing “love handles,” an extended version of the procedure may be for you. It involves an incision that extends behind the hips and allows for maximum removal of unwanted fat and sagging skin. This procedure might involve a little more downtime, but it trims your entire waistline.
