Many people work hard to achieve a flat, toned abdomen through exercise and diet. Yet, even with a healthy lifestyle, factors like pregnancy, aging, weight fluctuations, genetics, and previous surgeries can cause the abdomen to protrude or become loose and sagging.
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a highly effective procedure designed to remove excess fat and skin from the lower abdomen and repair separated muscles. The result is a slimmer, firmer, and more defined midsection. Whether you're looking to reverse changes after pregnancy or address issues that haven't responded to diet and exercise, a tummy tuck can help you achieve the look you desire.

Is a Tummy Tuck Right for You?
You may be a good candidate for a tummy tuck if you:
- Are in good health and near your ideal weight
- Do not smoke
- Have excess skin and fat around your abdomen
- Have realistic expectations
- Are not planning to become pregnant or lose significant weight in the near future
A tummy tuck is not a substitute for weight loss and is best for individuals who are looking to address specific concerns rather than achieve overall weight loss.
Your Tummy Tuck Journey
During your initial consultation, our experienced team will discuss your goals, evaluate your health, and help you decide if a tummy tuck is right for you. We’ll take the time to answer all your questions and ensure you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
What to Expect
- Anesthesia: You’ll be comfortably sedated with either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia.
- Procedure: Depending on your needs, we may recommend a full tummy tuck, mini tummy tuck, or a fleur-de-lis tummy tuck. Each technique is tailored to create the best possible outcome for your body.
- Recovery: After surgery, you’ll receive detailed instructions for at-home care. Most patients return to work within 2-3 weeks, though strenuous activities should be avoided for at least four weeks.
Results That Last
Your tummy tuck results will be visible immediately and will continue to improve as swelling decreases. With proper care, including maintaining a stable weight, your results can last a lifetime.
