What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess fat and skin while tightening abdominal muscles. This procedure effectively addresses sagging or loose skin around the belly, often caused by weight fluctuations or pregnancy, delivering a firmer, more contoured midsection for improved confidence and appearance.

Am I A Candidate For Tummy Tuck Surgery?

Ideal candidates for tummy tuck surgery are those who:

  • Are in good health
  • Do not smoke
  • Have realistic expectations
  • Are unhappy with their abdominal appearance
  • Want a flatter, firmer stomach
  • Maintain a stable, healthy weight

Preparing for Your Tummy Tuck Surgery

Before your abdominoplasty surgery in NY, ensure you:

  • Follow your surgeon’s specific instructions
  • Quit smoking
  • Take any prescribed medications
  • Avoid blood thinners like aspirin or anti-inflammatories
  • Arrange transportation to and from the surgery
  • Have someone stay with you for the first night post-surgery

Tummy Tuck Recovery

After a tummy tuck surgery in NY, wearing a compression garment for 4-6 weeks helps reduce swelling. Expect some pain, but medication will manage discomfort. Avoid excessive motion to protect your incisions. Rest by bending at the waist and lying down for 7-10 days.

Walking promotes circulation and reduces clot risk. Most patients return to work in 2-3 weeks. Bruising and swelling will gradually subside, and scars will continue to heal over 12-18 months.

FAQs

Anesthesia will be given and during the time our doctors perform surgery, you will not feel pain! Following a tummy tuck, pain varies with each individual, though discomfort is prevalent, usually in the first week. Our experienced doctors will ensure you get pain medications to manage the discomfort.

Scarring is a consequence in the course of any tummy tuck operation as excess skin and fat are removed. The size and place of the scar depend on which kind of tummy tuck is performed. Whereas scarring cannot be completely avoided, post-operative care such as staying away from smoking and treatments for chronic diseases, can reduce the visibility of scars.

Abdominoplasty surgery in NY takes approximately 3 to 4 hours to perform. You are placed under general anesthesia. Two incisions are usually made: one from hip bone to hip bone close to the pubic area and another around the navel. Skin is separated from the abdominal muscles, which are then pulled together and stitched into place for a firmer abdomen and narrower waist. The skin flap is then stretched down over the newly tightened muscles, excess skin is removed, and the navel is reattached where it looks natural. The incisions are then closed, and sterile surgical dressings are applied over the sutured areas.

A tummy tuck procedure leads to results that last for long-term, but sudden weight gain and loss may change the results. It does not necessarily keep you from gaining weight in the future. If you have not reached your ideal weight yet, you should wait until you have achieved it to get a good result from your tummy tuck.

Most patients for tummy tuck are usually in their 30s or 40s since most of them have had children and tend to notice the changes that accompany their age on the abdomen. However, younger and older patients can also seek the procedure based on their health and follow a comprehensive consultation with their healthcare provider.

For a tummy tuck during the recovery process, you will spend the first week in bed or recliner chair, and should only be getting up to eat or using the bathroom. In the second week, you should slowly ease into your routine by walking around your house but shouldn’t be doing any vigorous activity. By the third week, most patients can return to work, and in the fourth week, patients can begin doing exercise but, again, light activity, nothing too strenuous.

Weight gain and stretching of the abdominal skin and muscles during pregnancy cause stretching and weakening of the muscles; as such, there is loose skin after pregnancy. These may require additional surgery to achieve the optimal outcomes of tummy tuck surgery. What should be understood is that such changes occurring after pregnancy can impact the results of your tummy tuck.

Risks are inherent in any surgery, including tummy tucks. Our experienced Tummy Tuck Surgeon in NY will thoroughly discuss potential complications during your consultation, and we take every step to minimize risks. Adhering to pre- and post-surgery instructions helps reduce complications. We prioritize your safety and ensure you’re fully informed throughout the process.

It depends on the type of procedure performed. Traditional abdominoplasty starts at $10,900 in our center, while lipoabdominoplasty begins at $16,000. Mini abdominoplasty starts at $7,200. The cost may vary with your specific needs. For more information on pricing, contact our team for a consultation.
