What is a Tummy Tuck?

After years of weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and aging, many individuals develop weakened abdominal muscles, excess skin, and stubborn fat in their midsection. A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a transformative surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin, eliminate unwanted fat, and tighten separated abdominal muscles, providing a flatter and firmer stomach area.

Comprehensive Tummy Tuck Approach

Addressing Excess Fat

Dr. Zenn incorporates targeted liposuction during tummy tuck procedures to comprehensively address fat collections in the hips, stomach, and pubic area. This approach ensures a more refined body contour.

Muscle Separation Correction

Dr. Zenn carefully assesses muscle separation, a common issue after pregnancy or significant weight changes. Using precise internal sutures, he can tighten and flatten the abdominal muscles when necessary, avoiding unnecessary interventions that could prolong recovery.

Your Tummy Tuck Surgical Experience

Procedures are performed at the state-of-the-art Plastic Surgery Center, accredited by the Joint Commission and AAAASF. Patients receive personalized care from a board-certified anesthesiologist, ensuring safety and comfort throughout the procedure.

Recovery Expectations

Following surgery, patients can expect some initial tightness and soreness. Dr. Zenn uses advanced techniques like regional nerve blocks to minimize discomfort. Most patients should plan for two weeks of reduced activity and follow specific post-operative guidelines.

Tummy Tuck Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Zenn will thoroughly evaluate your aesthetic goals, review your medical history, and develop a personalized treatment plan. His approach emphasizes patient education, transparency, and achieving natural, transformative results.

Dr. Zenn and his team are exceptional. To a person, the team was warm, helpful, supportive and responsive from my first call to my last visit. I had a double mastectomy at the end of the year, and less than 2 weeks afterwards had full reconstructive surgery with Dr. Zenn. His process, skipping tissue expanders and moving directly to reconstruction, saved months of time and entirely avoided months of weekly doctor visits to increase the expanders. 4 weeks after reconstruction and 6 weeks after my double mastectomy, I was back at the gym and traveling for work. By the 2 month mark, I was fully back to my normal life and completely done with surgery. I am delighted with the results, and even happier to have been able to go through one full recovery rather than having another major surgery and recovery period still ahead of me months later. Dr. Zenn is an exceptional surgeon, and also more available to his patients than any doctor I know. Thank you to Dr. Zenn, Cindy, Lissa and Shannon for making this process as easy as it could possibly be!

Dr. Zenn was highly recommend to me by a family member, who had nothing but great things to say about him and his practice. Dr. Zenn and his team exceeded my expectations. The whole team is amazing, and you leave the office feeling like family. Dr. Zenn is an exceptional surgeon who took the time to get to know me, and what I wanted out of my surgery. He was patient with the challenges my procedure presented, and I could not be happier with the results. Thank you Dr. Zenn for your professionalism, expertise, and the self confidence you’ve given me, you are truly one of a kind.

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Zenn and his entire practice! I’m incredibly grateful that I was a candidate for the Zenn Delay Reconstruction method. I was really nervous, but Dr. Zenn and his team were endlessly kind, patient, and reassuring every step of the way. Facing a breast cancer diagnosis and mastectomy was overwhelming, but their warmth and compassion made the journey so much easier. The care I received before and after my surgery was absolutely amazing. Anytime I had a question or concern, I always got a thoughtful response—often within the hour, even on weekends! The access he gives his patients is truly remarkable. My reconstruction was performed just 14 days after my mastectomy, and I can say with all my heart that it was the best decision I could have made. Dr. Zenn isn’t just a surgeon—he’s an artist. My results are amazing, and honestly, I feel even more confident in my silhouette now than I did before my mastectomy. I’m forever grateful for Dr. Zenn and his team.

Dr Zenn is amazing. I’m a breast cancer survivor and finding Dr Zenn as my plastic surgeon was a weight lifted off my shoulders. He has all the experience that you would look for and more for a plastic surgeon, board certifications, author of textbooks, serving as an attending physician teaching others his procedures. He has a special procedure called the Zenn delay and it is worth everything and makes you feel and look like yourself after having a double mastectomy and reconstruction. It is the most normal looking procedure I’ve ever seen with minimal scarring. He is truly an artist and very meticulous when it comes to stitching and cutting. He works closely with the general surgeon after the mastectomy closely monitoring you until he does the reconstruction, know that you are in the best of hands with Dr Zenn and his staff I would never change a thing if I had to go back and do anything different!! He gets a 10/10!!!!
