Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

A balanced diet and regular exercise can promote overall health, but may not effectively sculpt your body after pregnancy or significant weight loss. Exercise and diet cannot address stretched abdominal muscles or excess skin. Tummy tuck surgery at Bassin Center For Plastic Surgery provides a comprehensive solution to restore abdominal contours.

Tummy Tuck Benefits

• Repair weakened or separated abdominal muscles
• Remove excess fat and skin
• Achieve a slimmer, firmer abdomen
• Improve body proportion and confidence

Surgical Procedure Details

During tummy tuck surgery, the plastic surgeon will make an incision along the lower abdomen's bikini line. Excess skin is carefully removed between the incision and navel. For patients with less severe concerns, a mini tummy tuck might be recommended, which involves a smaller scar and minimal belly button repositioning.

Procedure Highlights

• Outpatient surgical procedure
• Muscle repair for flatter abdominal profile
• Typical recovery: 4-6 weeks
• Return to work: 1-2 weeks post-surgery

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect mild to moderate swelling during the initial weeks following surgery. Strenuous activities must be avoided during the recovery period. A healthy lifestyle remains crucial for maintaining surgical results and body contours.

Important Considerations

Patients should be aware that tummy tuck surgery results in a permanent scar along the bikini line. While typically concealed by underwear or swimwear, this is an important factor to consider during consultation.
