    A tummy tuck, which is the commonly known term for abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that targets excess skin on the abdomen and the weakened lower abdominal wall. It is performed for cosmetic reasons to improve the shape and appearance of the abdomen, but also for medical reasons when extreme weight-loss or pregnancy have left excess tissue that causes discomfort or even pain while performing daily activities.Loose skin after pregnancy is one of the most common concerns and insecurities among women whose body has gone through multiple changes. Also, patients who have undergone weight-loss surgery, such as a gastric sleeve or bypass and have lost significant weight in a short period of time are left with the skin in the abdomen that doesn’t retract.

    During the procedure the patient will undergo general anesthesia and the incision will be above the pubic area. The surgeon will also reposition the skin around the belly button. A tummy tucks are for some patients the best solution since it removes loose skin, excess skin, excess fat, stretch marks below the belly button and weakened fascia. it is often performed alongside other body contouring procedures such as liposuction.

    commonly asked about Tummy Tuck

    Tummy tuck surgery or Abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that improves abdominal contours by removing excess skin and fat, but also tightens the underlying abdominal muscles. The surgeon will mark the skin from the area underneath the belly button and above the pubis, making the incisions and removing the sagging skin, repositioning the belly button and creating a flat abdomen. This procedure is popular among women who’ve been through multiple pregnancies and whose skin did not retract, and who’ve been left with muscle laxity in their abdomen. But this procedure is also suitable for people -men and women- who have undergone massive weightloss and have excess skin that needs to be removed.

    It is common to combine a Tummy Tuck with muscle repair, where the surgeon will reattach the abdominal muscles to the abdominal wall and the muscles are pulled together. Sometimes a hernia repair can be performed during a Tummy Tuck, but depending on the size and type of hernia, it will have to be done by a general surgeon.

    If you travel from out of state to have a tummy tuck procedure at Miami Life Plastic Surgery, you’ll have to stay in Miami for at least 7 days. Plan on at least two weeks of downtime before you go back to work, and at least 6 weeks before you can resume your normal activities. Take as much time off as possible, you won’t be in too much pain after the initial 2 weeks, but discomfort is common.

    In a traditional Tummy Tuck, there is Space left between the fat and the muscle, which is where fluid collects, therefore it requires drains. Usually 2 drains are placed to remove fluid that collects.

    The drain (which is a tube) is brought out through the skin, the drains have to be emptied several times a day. Drains can be needed between 7 and 10 days (on average). They can be uncomfortable and a potential site of infection.

    With the drainless tummy Tuck no drains are used. The space for fluid to accumulate is eliminated. After excess skinned fat is removed and the muscle is tightened (with the Corset technique) the remaining skin is attached to the muscle with sutures that dissolve within 30 days. This closes the space and leaves no room for fluid to accumulate.

    This technique also allows for the removal of additional skin which makes you flatter and tighter. Walk straight away. Less Pain, faster recovery and better results!

    What no one tells you about a tummy tuck? ›

    You will feel confident wearing tight clothing without concern about hiding a tummy bulge. However, you will need some patience; a full recovery will take about three to six months. Tummy tuck scars will start to fade at about six months, but you can expect about a year before they disappear to be less visible.

    What are the weight requirements for a tummy tuck? ›

    They have different shapes and sizes with different reasons for wanting the procedure. You must be close to your desired weight for six to twelve months before undergoing a tummy tuck. Most surgeons will recommend patients should be between 10-15 pounds from their goal weight.

    Does the pubic area get lifted with a tummy tuck? ›

    A tummy tuck doesn't include a pubic lift because it focuses on contouring the belly region, tightening the skin and muscles in your midsection. In some cases, the general trimming and contouring of your midsection can improve your pubic region's general appearance, though that isn't intentional.

    What is the ideal body fat for tummy tuck? ›

    Generally, surgeons prefer to perform abdominoplasty on patients whose BMI is no higher than 30. A BMI of 25 to 29.9 sits in the normal range.

    Should I get in shape before tummy tuck? ›

    Exercise to improve loose or lax tummy may not help that much but it surely will help you make your abdominal muscles stronger. Once you do exercises to make your abdominal muscles taut and strong, the muscle repair done in the abdominoplasty procedure is definitely better.

    What reasons will insurance cover tummy tuck? ›

    Insurance companies usually use criteria such as potential improvement on physical symptoms or functional limitations due to a large abdominal muscle wall fold that causes chronic irritation and interferes with daily activities before approving monetary compensation.

    How many sizes do you lose with a tummy tuck? ›

    On average, patients can expect to go down about 2 – 3 pant sizes after tummy tuck surgery, though many patients reduce their waist size by even more. Again, this will depend on how much excess skin the patient has to start with, as well as how committed they are to maintaining their weight after surgery.

    Can I lose 20 pounds after a tummy tuck? ›

    On average, most people lose between 5 to 25 pounds after a tummy tuck. This weight loss is primarily due to the removal of excess skin and fat during the surgery, combined with lifestyle changes that many patients adopt after the procedure.

    How many follow-up appointments after a tummy tuck? ›

    Your surgeon will also book you in for several follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure that your body is healing as expected. At the CREO Clinic, you can expect at least three aftercare appointments: one week, six weeks, and six months after your tummy tuck.

    What questions to ask when getting a tummy tuck? ›

    What questions should I ask my plastic surgeon about tummy tuck surgery?
    • Are you certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?
    • Were you specifically trained in the field of plastic surgery?
    • How many years of plastic surgery training have you had?
    • Do you have hospital privileges to perform this procedure?

    What are the stages of a tummy tuck? ›

    Typically, your doctor starts by making a horizontal cut along the bikini line. Next, the skin is pulled back, fat is removed, and the ab muscles are repaired. Then, the skin flap is pulled down, a new hole is made for your belly button, and the excess skin is cut away.
