A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens weakened muscles to create a flatter, firmer, more contoured midsection.
Sometimes diet and exercise just aren’t enough to restore a toned, tight midsection, especially after pregnancy or weight loss. That’s where a traditional tummy tuck comes in. This procedure removes loose skin and repairs separated abdominal muscles, helping to restore your natural shape and support.

Also known as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes extra skin and fat from the abdomen and strengthens the abdominal wall. It is beneficial for people who’ve had changes due to pregnancy, aging, or significant weight loss, and who now struggle with loose skin, a protruding belly, or muscle laxity that can’t be corrected through exercise alone.
This procedure is not a substitute for weight loss, but it can be life-changing for individuals who are already close to their ideal weight and want their core to match their appearance.
A traditional tummy tuck typically involves an incision made low on the abdomen, just above the pubic area. Through this incision, your surgeon will remove excess skin, tighten the abdominal muscles, and reposition the belly button, if necessary, to achieve a more natural appearance.
Liposuction is often performed simultaneously to refine the waistline and remove pockets of fat, resulting in smoother contours. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia in our on-site, AAAHC-accreditedsurgical center, and most patients are discharged the same day with support garments and detailed recovery instructions.
A tummy tuck can correct more than just the look of a soft or sagging abdomen. It may also help improve:
The results of a tummy tuck extend beyond physical changes; they can also improve confidence, posture, and even clothing fit. Key benefits include:
For many patients, it’s also a way to close the chapter on a past stage of life, such as childbirth or major weight loss, and move forward feeling more aligned with their body.
A tummy tuck may be right for you if:
During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history, discuss your goals, and determine whether a traditional abdominoplasty or a modified version (such as a mini or extended tuck) is the better fit for you.
You’ll need to take it easy for the first few weeks after surgery. Most patients take about 10 to 14 days off work, depending on the physical demands of their job. You’ll wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support healing, and you’ll be given clear instructions on movement, scar care, and follow-ups.
While you’ll see some improvement right away, the final results typically take around 3 to 6months to settle, as swelling fades and tissues heal.
A tummy tuck provides long-lasting results, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle. As long as your weight remains stable and you don’t experience another pregnancy, you can expect your firmer contour to hold over time.
Scars are often placed low and can be easily hidden under underwear or swimwear. With proper care and time, they fade significantly and become much less noticeable.
