What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess abdominal skin and fat while restoring weakened or separated muscles. This comprehensive approach creates a smoother, firmer, and more contoured midsection. At Athēnix, our surgeons utilize advanced, efficiency-driven techniques designed to reduce recovery time while achieving precise, natural-looking results.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

You may be a strong candidate for a tummy tuck if you have loose or sagging abdominal skin, weakened or separated muscles from pregnancy or weight changes, or stubborn fat that remains despite healthy habits. Individuals with reduced skin elasticity due to aging or a protruding abdominal contour may also benefit from surgical correction. During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your anatomy, medical history, and goals to determine whether abdominoplasty is the safest and most effective option for your needs.

Your Consultation

During your consultation, your Athēnix surgeon will discuss:

Abdominal Anatomy: A detailed assessment of your abdominal anatomy, muscle integrity, and skin quality.
Surgical Approaches: You will review tailored surgical approaches and discuss expected outcomes.
Recovery: You will receive clear guidance on recovery and long-term results so you can make an informed, confident decision.

What to Expect During a Tummy Tuck Procedure

Your procedure will take place in one of our accredited surgical centers. After anesthesia is administered for your comfort, your surgeon will remove excess skin, refine fat distribution, and repair underlying muscles as needed.

Your surgeon will select the most appropriate technique based on your anatomical needs, structural considerations, and desired level of refinement. After the procedure, you will rest in our recovery area while our team monitors your initial healing.

Types of Tummy Tuck Procedures

Traditional Tummy Tuck

A traditional tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens weakened abdominal muscles through a horizontal lower abdominal incision. This approach creates a smoother, flatter midsection with comprehensive correction of both skin and muscle laxity.

Mini Tummy Tuck

A mini tummy tuck targets mild laxity below the navel using a smaller incision and a more focused area of correction. It offers a shorter recovery period while refining the lower abdomen for improved contour.

Drainless Tummy Tuck

A drainless tummy tuck uses internal suturing techniques to reduce fluid accumulation without the need for postoperative drains. This method may offer a more comfortable recovery while delivering the same structural benefits as a traditional approach.

Extended Tummy Tuck

An extended tummy tuck addresses excess skin and tissue across the abdomen, flanks, and lower back for more expansive contouring. It is ideal for patients seeking correction beyond the central midsection.

Fleur-de-Lis Abdominoplasty

Fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty uses both horizontal and vertical incisions to remove significant excess skin, often following major weight loss. This technique offers substantial reshaping for patients requiring dramatic skin tightening.

Circumferential or 360 Body Lift

A circumferential body lift treats excess skin around the entire midsection, including the abdomen, flanks, and lower back. It provides comprehensive reshaping for individuals with extensive skin redundancy after major weight loss.

Tummy Tuck Recovery and Results

Recovery after a tummy tuck unfolds gradually, with initial swelling and tightness improving over the first weeks as mobility increases. Light activity often resumes early in the recovery period, while full strength and scar refinement continue over several months. Because healing varies, your surgeon will provide individualized guidance based on your anatomy and surgical approach. As recovery progresses, the abdomen becomes smoother and more defined, revealing long-lasting improvements that reflect your unique healing process.

How Much Does it Cost?

Tummy tuck pricing varies based on the technique used, the degree of muscle and skin correction required, and whether supplemental contouring is recommended. After a comprehensive evaluation, our Brentwood team will provide a personalized quote. Flexible financing options are available to support your treatment goals.

Related Body Contouring Procedures

Our surgeons may recommend complementary treatments for enhanced results:

Liposuction for targeted fat reduction
BodyTite for radiofrequency-assisted tightening
Mommy makeover for combined breast and body rejuvenation
Thigh, arm, or axilla lifts for additional skin tightening

Your surgeon will determine whether combining procedures will safely enhance your final outcome based on your anatomy and surgical plan.
