A tummy tuck—also known as abdominoplasty—is one of the most effective procedures for tightening the abdomen and restoring a slimmer, smoother silhouette. Many people turn to a tummy tuck after weight loss, pregnancy, or simply aging, when loose skin and separated abdominal muscles become difficult to correct with diet and exercise alone.
What a Tummy Tuck Does
A tummy tuck can:
● Remove excess, sagging skin
● Repair separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
● Reduce stretch marks on the lower abdomen
● Create a flatter, tighter, more contoured abdomen
Unlike liposuction, which only removes fat, a tummy tuck treats skin and muscle, making it the preferred option for patients with loose or hanging skin.
Ideal Candidates
You may be a good candidate if:
● You have loose or excess skin in the midsection
● You’ve experienced muscle separation after pregnancy
● You’re at a stable, healthy weight
● You’re done having children
● You want long-lasting improvement in abdominal contour
Recovery
Most patients return to light activity in 10–14 days and full activity in 4–6 weeks. Swelling and tightness are normal and improve over time. Wearing a compression garment, resting, and following post-op instructions are key to a smooth recovery.
Results
A tummy tuck creates dramatic, long-lasting improvement. With a healthy lifestyle, results can be permanent and life-changing for patients who have struggled with loose abdominal skin or weakened muscles.
