Tummy Tuck

During a tummy tuck, your surgeon will make an incision low on your abdomen. This allows for any scarring to easily be concealed within your bikini or underwear.

Yes, like any surgical procedure, tummy tucks come with risks. Potential complications include infection, scarring, changes in skin sensation, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. It's important to discuss these risks thoroughly with your surgeon before the procedure to ensure you understand all potential outcomes and how to mitigate them.

Absolutely. A tummy tuck is a great surgery to combine with other cosmetic procedures. Popular combinations can include a tummy tuck and liposuction, breast augmentation or an arm lift.

You might be a candidate for a tummy tuck if you have excess skin and fat in the abdominal area that doesn't respond to diet and exercise. Ideal candidates are generally in good health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery. It's also important that candidates are at a stable weight and do not plan significant weight changes in the near future.

After a tummy tuck, you should avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and activities that strain your abdominal muscles for at least six weeks. It's also important to refrain from smoking and consuming alcohol as these can impede the healing process. Following your surgeon's specific post-operative instructions will help ensure a smooth recovery.
