Tummy Tuck FAQ
How long does a tummy tuck procedure take?
A typical tummy tuck surgery takes about 2-3 hours, depending on the extent of the procedure and individual patient needs. More complex cases or those combined with other procedures may take longer. We’ll provide a more precise estimate during your consultation.
What's the recovery time for a tummy tuck?
Most patients can return to light activities within 2-3 weeks, but full recovery may take 6-8 weeks. You’ll need to avoid strenuous exercise for about 6 weeks. Initially, you may need help with daily activities. We’ll provide a detailed recovery timeline for optimal healing.
Will a tummy tuck remove all my stretch marks?
A tummy tuck can remove stretch marks below the belly button, but it won’t eliminate all stretch marks. Those above the navel may be moved lower on the abdomen. While it significantly improves the overall appearance of your midsection, some stretch marks may still be visible.
Can I combine a tummy tuck with other procedures?
Yes, many patients combine a tummy tuck with liposuction or breast procedures as part of a “mommy makeover.” Combining surgeries can be cost-effective and reduce overall recovery time. We can discuss safe combinations based on your goals and health status.
Will I have a scar after a tummy tuck?
Yes, you will have a scar, typically running from hip to hip just above the pubic area. Most scars fade significantly over time and can be hidden by underwear or swimwear. We use techniques to minimize scarring and will provide guidance on scar care for optimal results.
Am I a good candidate for a tummy tuck?
Good candidates typically have a BMI under 30, are non-smokers (or willing to quit), and have loose abdominal skin and fat resistant to diet and exercise. You should be in good overall health, at a stable weight, and not planning future pregnancies. Realistic expectations are important. During your consultation, we’ll assess these factors along with your medical history to determine if a tummy tuck is right for you or if alternative procedures might be more suitable.
Will a tummy tuck help me lose weight?
While some weight is lost from removed excess skin and fat, a tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure. It’s best to be at or near your ideal weight before surgery. The procedure is designed to contour your body, not serve as a substitute for a healthy lifestyle.
How long will my tummy tuck results last?
Results can be long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Significant weight fluctuations or future pregnancies can affect your results. Following a balanced diet and regular exercise routine can help maintain your new contours.
Can I have a tummy tuck if I plan to have more children?
It’s generally recommended to wait until you’re done having children before getting a tummy tuck, as pregnancy can undo the results. However, if you do become pregnant after a tummy tuck, it’s still possible to have a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
Will a tummy tuck correct diastasis recti (separated abdominal muscles)?
Yes, one of the benefits of a tummy tuck is the ability to repair separated abdominal muscles, which often occur after pregnancy or significant weight gain. This not only improves appearance but can also help with core strength and back pain.
