abdominoplasty

An Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) can:

• Remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen,
• Tighten weakened or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti),
• Restore a flatter, firmer, and more toned midsection,
• Reduce the appearance of stretch marks in the lower abdomen.

Our experienced plastic surgeons customize each tummy tuck to suit your individual anatomy and aesthetic goals, carefully considering skin quality, muscle tone, and fat distribution. Whether as a standalone procedure or in combination with liposuction or other body contouring surgeries, abdominoplasty can significantly improve your silhouette, core strength, and confidence—helping you feel comfortable and confident in your own skin.

Who is a good candidate for Abdominoplasty?

You may be a good candidate for abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) if you:

• Have excess abdominal skin or fat that doesn't respond to diet or exercise
• Have weakened or separated abdominal muscles, often due to pregnancy or significant weight loss
• Are at or near your ideal body weight and maintain a stable weight
• Are in good overall health and do not smoke (or are willing to quit before and after surgery)
• Have realistic expectations and a positive outlook

Abdominoplasty is ideal for individuals who want to restore a smoother, firmer abdominal profile. It is not a weight-loss procedure, and the best results are seen in those who are committed to a healthy lifestyle following surgery.

Will I have a scar after abdominoplasty?

Yes, abdominoplasty does leave a scar. The main scar is typically a horizontal line that runs low across the abdomen—just above the pubic area—where it can usually be hidden by underwear or swimwear. In some cases, there may also be a small scar around the belly button if it is repositioned during surgery.

Our surgeons take great care to place incisions as discreetly as possible and to close them in a way that supports optimal healing. Over time, the scar will usually fade and flatten, becoming much less noticeable. Following your surgeon's post-operative care instructions, including scar management strategies, can help improve its appearance.

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovering from a tummy tuck requires commitment to aftercare instructions and a realistic timeline for healing.

Week 1:

• Rest with slight bend at hips to reduce tension on incision
• Wear compression garment 24/7
• Gentle walking encouraged to avoid blood clots
• Drainage tubes may be in place (removed in the clinic)

Week 2-3:

• Return to light daily activities
• Continue wearing compression garment
• Office work may be resumed based on how you feel

Week 4-6:

• Gradual increase in physical activity
• Avoid intense abdominal workouts or heavy lifting
• Monitor healing and scar development

Long-Term:

• Scars will mature and fade over 6–12 months
• Maintain stable weight to preserve results
• Healthy lifestyle recommended for long-lasting effects

Risks & Considerations

While abdominoplasty is generally safe, it is a major surgical procedure that carries certain risks:

• Scarring - Permanent but can fade and be hidden under clothing
• Infection or delayed wound healing - Rare, but possible without proper care
• Seroma (fluid accumulation) - May require drainage
• Numbness or tightness - Usually temporary in the abdominal area
• Asymmetry or contour irregularities - Can happen due to healing variations
