Tummy Tuck Options Available

Different types of abdominoplasty procedures are available to meet your specific needs and desired results.

A full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdominal area from the ribcage to the pubic area. This comprehensive procedure removes excess skin and fat while tightening the abdominal muscles from top to bottom. It’s ideal for patients with significant skin laxity and muscle separation, often following pregnancy or major weight loss.

A mini tummy tuck focuses on the lower abdominal area below the navel. This less invasive procedure uses a shorter incision and is perfect for patients with minor skin excess and muscle laxity confined to the lower abdomen. Recovery time is typically shorter than a full tummy tuck.

An extended tummy tuck goes beyond the traditional procedure to address excess skin around the sides and back. This comprehensive approach is designed for patients who have experienced massive weight loss and have significant skin excess extending beyond the abdominal area. The incision extends around the hips to provide full body contouring.

Lipoabdominoplasty combines traditional tummy tuck techniques with liposuction to provide comprehensive body contouring. This advanced procedure removes excess fat from the abdomen and surrounding areas while tightening skin and muscles. It’s particularly effective for patients who want maximum contouring results in a single procedure.

What to expect before, during, and after the abdominoplasty surgery?

  • You will have a consultation with your surgeon to discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns.
  • Pre-surgery instructions may include avoiding certain medications, stopping smoking, and arranging for someone to drive you home after the procedure.
  • The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia.
  • The surgeon will make incisions to remove excess skin and fat and tighten the underlying muscles.
  • The incisions will be closed with sutures, and drains may be placed to remove excess fluid.
  • You will have dressings and a compression garment to support your abdomen as it heals.
  • Expect some swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with medication.
  • Follow your surgeon’s instructions on how to care for your incisions and manage any discomfort.
  • Full recovery can take several weeks to months, with gradual improvements in the abdominal contour as swelling subsides.

Your recovery happens in stages. Here’s what to expect:

You’ll spend 1-2 days in the clinic for monitoring. A compression garment will help control swelling, and drains will be in place. Expect some discomfort – this is normal. We’ll provide pain medication to keep you comfortable, and you’ll need to rest with your upper body slightly elevated when sleeping.

Most people return to light daily activities during this time, but avoid strenuous movement. The major swelling starts decreasing, and you’ll have follow-up appointments for drain removal. You’ll continue wearing your compression garment as directed by your surgeon.

Now you can start getting back to your regular routines, including returning to work if your job isn’t physically demanding. Exercise should still be limited – take it slow and follow your surgeon’s guidance. Most of the swelling will be gone, and you’ll begin to see your new abdominal contour more clearly.

Your abdomen continues settling into its final shape for up to 6 months. The changes are subtle but continuous. You’ll see the final results once all swelling subsides, revealing a flatter, firmer abdominal profile that looks natural and proportionate with your body.
