What is a Tummy Tuck?

Washboard Flat

A Tummy Tuck, or Abdominoplasty, is a procedure that involves removing excess skin and fat to improve body contours by tightening the abdominal muscles or abdominal wall. A tummy tuck is often combined with liposuction to remove left-over fatty tissue and contour your abdomen so that it is tighter and smaller in terms of width.

A tummy tuck is not a weight-loss procedure. Rather, it is a body contouring procedure that does what diet and exercise cannot do. However, many patients do lose 10 - 20 pounds, depending on the amount of tissue removed and exercise and diet regimen after the procedure.

Your Tummy Tuck Procedure

Personalized Procedure

To begin, an incision will be made below your bikini line. Next, your skin is lifted to your lower chest area. We carefully preserve your belly button and maintain the blood supply to your skin. Next, the loose skin below your belly button is removed, and the abdominal wall and muscles are tightened with sutures.

The skin is pulled back down to your incision area, a spot for your belly button is marked, and the skin is removed. Sutures secure the new belly button, usually measuring about 1.5 cm (0.59”) in diameter. Finally, drains are placed throughout the pubic area, below the skin, and over the abdominal wall. During healing, the drains will stop fluid from building up in and around the incision. We often perform liposuction to remove the fat that collects above your hips (aka love handles) and remove additional skin from that area, if needed. Then, the incision is closed with absorbable sutures, and dressings are applied.

Tummy Tuck Results

A New, Familiar You
