Tummy Tuck

The tummy tuck is also known as an abdominoplasty. It is a procedure for people who

have loose skin and fat folds of the abdomen from pregnancy or weight loss, stretch

marks or laxity in abdominal wall who want a flatter and firmer abdomen with an

improved contour. Liposuction may be used in combination for added contouring benefits.


The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and often requires an overnight hospital stay. The scar will vary based on body shape and extends from the lower

abdomen to as far as the lower back. Mini abdominoplasties are reserved for a select

group of patients.

 

You will be encouraged to walk and move regularly almost immediately. However,

physical activity should be limited during the first 10 days. Strenuous activity will be

avoided for about 6 weeks.
