What Is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure to achieve a flatter, more toned abdominal profile by removing excess fat and skin from the midsection. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who struggle with persistent belly fat and loose skin that cannot be adequately addressed through diet and exercise alone. Additionally, a tummy tuck can repair weakened or separated abdominal muscles, often caused by pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging. By tightening the abdominal wall and refining the contours of the stomach area, our tummy tuck can help patients achieve a more sculpted and youthful appearance.

Reclaim your confidence and achieve the toned, flat stomach you've always desired with a tummy tuck at Ascentist Plastic Surgery. Abdominoplasty offers a range of benefits, including the following:

What to Expect: The Tummy Tuck Procedure

During a tummy tuck procedure or abdominoplasty, the patient is typically placed under general anesthesia for comfort. The surgery begins with an incision made horizontally across the lower abdomen, usually below the bikini line, allowing access to the underlying abdominal muscles and tissues. Depending on the extent of correction needed, we may perform a full abdominoplasty or a mini tummy tuck, which involves a smaller incision. The abdominal muscles are tightened, and excess skin and fat are removed to sculpt a flatter, firmer abdomen. Liposuction may also be performed to refine the contour of the waistline further. The incisions are then carefully closed with sutures. The duration of the procedure varies depending on the complexity of the surgery but typically takes around two to four hours to complete. While discomfort is common following surgery, pain management techniques are employed to minimize any discomfort during the recovery period. Through the surgical removal of excess skin and fat and the tightening of abdominal muscles, an abdominoplasty results in a smoother, more toned appearance in the midsection.

Tummy Tuck Recovery

Following a tummy tuck procedure, patients can expect downtime to allow for proper healing. Initially, discomfort, swelling, and bruising may occur around the surgical site, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication and compression garments. Avoiding strenuous activities and heavy lifting for several weeks is essential to promote optimal healing and prevent complications. Most patients can gradually resume light activities within a week or two but should refrain from more vigorous exercises until we clear them. As swelling subsides and incisions heal, patients will begin to notice the initial results of their Kansas City tummy tuck, with further improvement over the following months as swelling diminishes. Regular follow-up appointments with our team will ensure proper healing progress and allow us to address any concerns that may arise during recovery.
