Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Do you have a sagging tummy that persists despite exercise? An abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, may provide the transformative solution you seek. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or post-pregnancy body changes.

Procedure Overview

• Removes excess skin and fat from lower abdomen
• Tightens weakened or separated abdominal muscles
• Often eliminates stretch marks below the umbilicus
• Strategically placed incisions along bikini line for minimal visible scarring

Surgical Details

Tummy tuck procedures at Berman Cosmetic Surgery are performed as outpatient surgeries, typically lasting approximately 3 hours. The surgical approach is customized to each patient's unique anatomical needs and aesthetic goals.

Combination Procedures

Many patients opt to combine their tummy tuck with complementary procedures like liposuction or breast surgeries. During the initial consultation, the surgical team will recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.

• Shower the day after surgery
• Take 10-14 days off work
• Begin light exercise after approximately 2 weeks
