A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the underlying muscles that can separate during pregnancy or significant weight change. The procedure produces a flatter, firmer abdominal contour that diet and exercise alone cannot achieve.
Dr. Pisarski selects technique based on the amount of excess skin, degree of muscle separation, and location of concern.Options include full tummy tuck, mini tummy tuck for lower abdomen only, or extended techniques when the flanks are also involved.
The candidate
Is a tummy tuck right for you?
Ideal candidates have loose abdominal skin, weakened or separated abdominal muscles, or persistent fat that diet and exercise cannot resolve. Good general health and stable weight matter.Women planning future pregnancies should typically wait, as pregnancy can reverse results.
The recovery
Recovery and results
Most patients return to desk work within two weeks and light activity within four weeks. Strenuous exercise resumes at six to eight weeks.Results are long-lasting when weight is maintained. Significant weight gain or pregnancy can affect the abdominal contour over time.
