What is a Tummy Tuck?

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure addressing excess skin, fat deposits, and weakened abdominal muscles. The procedure helps patients achieve a smoother, firmer abdominal contour by removing redundant tissue and reconstructing underlying muscle structure.

Benefits of Tummy Tuck Surgery

• Removes excess abdominal skin and fat
• Tightens weakened or separated abdominal muscles
• Improves overall body silhouette
• Enhances self-confidence and body image

Procedure Types

Full Tummy Tuck

Ideal for patients with significant skin laxity and muscle separation across the entire abdominal region. This comprehensive procedure addresses both upper and lower abdominal areas, providing extensive body contouring results.

Mini Tummy Tuck

A less invasive option targeting the lower abdomen, suitable for patients with minimal skin excess and localized concerns. This procedure offers a more targeted approach to abdominal rejuvenation.

Candidacy for Tummy Tuck

Potential candidates for tummy tuck surgery typically include individuals with:

• Excess abdominal skin resistant to diet and exercise
• Weakened or separated abdominal muscles
• Stable body weight
• Good overall health

Recovery and Expectations

Tummy tuck recovery varies by individual but generally spans 6 months. Patients can expect progressive improvement in abdominal contour, with final results becoming visible as swelling subsides. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle supports long-term surgical outcomes.

Cost Considerations

Tummy tuck procedures are typically considered elective and not covered by insurance. Robbins Plastic Surgery offers financing options through CareCredit® and Prosper Healthcare Lending to make the procedure more accessible.
