What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening weakened or separated muscles. This procedure is ideal for individuals with loose skin due to weight loss or post-pregnancy and looking to improve abdominal contours.

Goodbye to Loose Skin

What is the tummy tuck procedure like?

On the day of surgery, you’ll be under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Dr. Lee begins by making a horizontal incision between the pubic area and the navel. Through this incision, the excess skin and fat are removed, and the muscles are tightened. The skin is then pulled down, and the incision is closed with sutures. Depending on your needs, a small incision may also be made around the navel to reposition it for a more natural appearance.

What conditions does a tummy tuck address?

A tummy tuck can address:

Excess skin and fat in the abdominal area
Weakened or separated abdominal muscles
Stretch marks, especially below the navel
Sagging or loose skin after pregnancy or significant weight loss

From Flab to Flat

What area of the body can a tummy tuck address?

A tummy tuck primarily focuses on the abdominal region but can also improve the appearance of the waist and flanks by creating a smoother, more contoured silhouette.

Am I a candidate for a tummy tuck?

Ideal candidates for a tummy tuck:

Are in good overall health
Have realistic expectations about the results
Struggle with loose skin or weakened abdominal muscles
Have maintained a stable weight for at least six months

This procedure is not recommended for those planning future pregnancies or significant weight changes, as these can reverse the results.

With You Every Step of the Way

Tummy Tuck Recovery

After the procedure, you’ll need to take time off work and avoid strenuous activities for 3-4 weeks. Drains may be placed to prevent fluid buildup, and you will be given instructions for caring for your incisions. Swelling and discomfort are expected in the first few days but will gradually subside. You will have follow-up appointments with Dr. Lee to ensure that you have the best possible chance of a smooth and successful recovery.

Tummy Tuck Results

Patients usually see the final results of their tummy tuck after the swelling fully subsides, around 2-3 months post-surgery. With proper care and a healthy lifestyle, the results are long-lasting, giving you a more defined, toned abdomen.

Tummy Tuck Frequently Asked Questions

When can I resume exercise?

You can begin light activity around 3-4 weeks after surgery. Dr. Lee will tell you when it is safe to return to more strenuous activities like working out.

Will there be visible scarring?

The scar is typically low on the abdomen, hidden under clothing. With proper care, scars will fade over time.

How long do tummy tuck results last?

Results are permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

Is a tummy tuck painful?

You should feel no pain during the procedure as you will be under general anesthesia. You’ll likely experience some discomfort during the recovery process, but this can be managed with prescribed pain medication and a recovery management plan from Dr. Lee.
