How it Works

Our body contouring specialists are well-versed in the latest advancements, customizing your treatment to fit your individual anatomy and desired results. We provide personalized anesthesia tailored to your treatment plan, emphasizing your safety and comfort in our modern surgical facilities equipped with strict safety protocols.

Traditional Tummy Tuck

This technique includes making a horizontal incision on the lower abdomen, repairing weakened abdominal muscles, and eliminating excess skin. It leads to a more defined waistline and a flatter appearance.

Mini Tummy Tuck

This method uses a smaller incision and offers a shorter recovery period for minor skin and muscle laxity in the lower abdomen.

Drainless Tummy Tuck

By using specific sutures and techniques to reduce fluid buildup, this modified tummy tuck eliminates the requirement for post-operative drainage tubes, potentially providing a more comfortable recovery.

Extended Tummy Tuck

By combining the traditional tummy tuck with other contouring procedures, this advanced technique targets surplus skin and fat in the abdominal area, extending to the sides and lower back, offering comprehensive body sculpting.

Fleur-de-Lis Abdominoplasty

Tailored for individuals with substantial excess skin, this method utilizes both vertical and horizontal incisions to address stretched skin, especially following significant weight loss.

360 Body Lift

This extensive procedure focuses on eliminating surplus skin and fat not only in the front abdominal area but also in the sides and lower back, leading to a toned, contoured midsection.

Your Tummy Tuck Recovery Experience

The recovery period following a tummy tuck in Orange County can differ depending on the technique employed. It is essential to follow post-operative instructions diligently. Patients may encounter swelling and discomfort during the first week, with gradual improvement. Light activity can typically resume within a few weeks, while strenuous exercise may take longer. Full recovery unfolds over several months, with scar maturation occurring over time.

Smooth, Toned Results

Many patients express renewed confidence and satisfaction with their bodies after undergoing tummy tuck surgery, enjoying a firmer, toned abdomen. Swelling reduces over time, scars fade, and the final results become more noticeable after a few months. Maintaining improved abdominal contours requires a healthy lifestyle.

Who is a good candidate for a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck is ideal for individuals in generally good health who struggle with loose or sagging abdominal skin, weakened core muscles, or stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. If you’ve experienced significant weight loss or pregnancy-related changes, a tummy tuck in Orange County may be the right solution to restore your abdominal contour.

What is the recovery process like after a tummy tuck?

Recovery from a tummy tuck typically involves some initial swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Most patients are able to return to light activities within two weeks, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for four to six weeks. Your surgeon will provide detailed post-op instructions to ensure a smooth healing process.

Will a tummy tuck leave visible scars?

Yes, a tummy tuck does involve a scar, usually placed low on the abdomen so it can be hidden beneath underwear or swimwear. Over time, the scar tends to fade significantly with proper care. Patients undergoing a tummy tuck in Orange County at Athēnix Body benefit from advanced surgical techniques designed to minimize and discreetly place incisions.

How long do the results of a tummy tuck last?

The results of a tummy tuck are long-lasting, especially when supported by a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While the procedure does not stop the natural aging process, many patients enjoy their flatter, more toned abdomen for years. Following your surgeon’s recommendations and maintaining a consistent fitness routine can help you preserve your tummy tuck results.
