Is a Tummy Tuck with Dr. Lehrman for You?

If you are frustrated by loose skin and stubborn fat in the abdominal area, you may be a strong candidate for a tummy tuck with Dr. Craig Lehrman. Many individuals find that excess skin and weakened abdominal contours cannot be fully corrected through diet and exercise alone, making abdominoplasty an effective option for restoring a firmer, more contoured midsection at Athēnix.

A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure for the following common body issues:

Loose, sagging skin present after significant weight loss
Stretched, loose skin and stretch marks in the tummy area after pregnancy
Loss of natural skin elasticity, leaving the tummy skin stretched and sagging
Separated abdominal muscles giving a “double tummy” appearance
Protruding belly

Traditional tummy tuck

A traditional tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, employs a horizontal incision low on the abdomen, through which the surgeon repairs weakened abdominal muscles and removes surplus skin, giving you a flatter abdominal contour and improved waistline appearance.

Mini tummy tuck

A mini tummy tuck, or partial abdominoplasty, is a less extensive tummy tuck procedure that addresses limited lower abdominal concerns, such as minor skin and muscle laxity. This method typically involves a smaller incision and a shorter recovery than a full tummy tuck.

Drainless tummy tuck

A drainless abdominoplasty is a variation of the traditional tummy tuck procedure designed to reduce the need for post-operative drainage tubes using specialized sutures and techniques to minimize fluid accumulation, potentially leading to a more comfortable recovery.

Extended tummy tuck

Extended abdominoplasty is an advanced surgical procedure that combines a traditional tummy tuck with additional contouring techniques to address excess skin and fat not only in the abdominal area but also extending around the sides and lower back for comprehensive body sculpting.

Fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty

For individuals with significant excess skin, often following massive weight loss, fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty provides a more comprehensive body contouring solution. This advanced tummy tuck technique uses a vertical incision in addition to the standard horizontal tummy tuck incision.

360 body lift

A 360 body lift, also known as a circumferential abdominoplasty or lower body lift, removes excess skin and fat not only from the front abdominal area but also from the sides and lower back. This results in a more toned and contoured appearance around the entire midsection.

Your Recovery Process

Tummy tuck recovery time varies depending on the technique used. You must follow your post-operative instructions based on your particular surgery. Generally, expect swelling and discomfort for the first week, with gradual improvement. Light activity can resume within a few weeks, but strenuous exercise may take longer. Complete recovery typically occurs over several months, with scar maturation continuing over time.

Smooth, Firm Results

Our patients report that after recovering from tummy tuck surgery, they experience a resurgence of confidence and pleasure in their bodies, with an immediately visible firmer abdomen. Swelling subsides gradually, and scars fade over time, so the final results usually emerge after a few months. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will help sustain your improved abdominal contours.

Dr. Craig Lehrman Patient Reviews

Dr. Lehrman was awesome! I have no complaints. I loved the results of my surgery and during all my pre and post op appointments him and the other staff were attentive and listened to all my questions and concerns. It was overall a great experience and has improved my daily life. So happy!!

Jordyn Hannon, Google Plastic Surgery, Dr. Lehrman

Prior to a plastic surgeon, I was treated by him when he was a hand orthopedic surgeon in 2015, when I fractured my wrist, ulna etc. He was super and explained thoroughly pros and cons for surgery.

Linda, Google Plastic Surgery, Dr. Lehrman

I'm not normally one to leave a review, but I am compelled to do so for Dr. L. and his team. He does beautiful work, has one of the best bedside manners I've ever had, and he genuinely listens, unlike many in his field. His team are always professional and lovely people every encounter. I am happy with this 5-Star surgeon & his 5-Star team! I will be back & I tell everyone how wonderful they are ...

I could not be happier! Dr. Lehrman performed my breast reduction and completely changed my life! By far the best decision I’ve ever made, and I’m so glad I chose Dr. Lehrman and OSU!

Emily Curnutte, Google Breast Procedures, Dr. Lehrman

I had my surgery done April 16. Dr. Craig Lehrman is the best doctor! He told me I had nothing to worry about the whole time because we are always nervous about surgeries, but my breasts look amazing. I'm so glad I had the reduction done—I have absolutely no more back, neck, and headaches that I suffered with for years. The whole staff are amazing too. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Undina Wall, Google Breast Procedures, Dr. Lehrman

7 days post op from breast reduction, I was referred to Dr. Craig Lehrman and I am pretty impressed and very satisfied with my results. He was very professional and confident and I recommend him for sure.
