Frequently Addressed Tummy Tuck Questions

Stretch Mark Management

Stretch marks located within the excised skin region will be removed during surgery. For additional concerns, complementary skin treatments are available to minimize their appearance.

Surgical Scarring Considerations

Tummy tuck procedures result in a horizontal scar strategically placed to remain concealed beneath swimwear. Dr. Palladino utilizes advanced suturing techniques to minimize scarring and promote optimal healing.

Procedure Variations

Mini Tummy Tuck

Designed for patients requiring limited lower abdominal correction, the mini tummy tuck focuses on addressing smaller areas without comprehensive muscle reconstruction.

Cost Considerations

Abdominoplasty pricing ranges between $5,000 and $9,000, depending on individual surgical requirements and complexity.
