What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that eliminates loose skin and stubborn fat from the midsection while restoring muscle integrity. Whether due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging, excess abdominal skin can be difficult to address through diet and exercise alone. By removing unwanted tissue and tightening underlying muscles, a tummy tuck creates a smoother, more toned abdomen.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck is best suited for individuals who struggle with excess abdominal skin, often due to pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging. If you have weakened or separated abdominal muscles, this procedure can help restore a firmer, more sculpted midsection. Ideal candidates are those who are at or near their goal weight, in good overall health, and have realistic expectations about the outcome. If you are planning future pregnancies, it may be best to wait before undergoing surgery to preserve long-term results.

“Circumferential Tummy Tuck - Had circumferential tummy tuck at Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery. My surgeon was Dr Rumsey. The whole staff was excellent! Dr Rumsey talked me through his recommendations and what his plan would be for best results. He, Beth and Melissa were all very responsive to any and all questions before and after surgery. Highly recommend! I would use again for any future surgery.”

What to Expect During a Tummy Tuck

Tummy tucks are performed under general anesthesia and typically take 2-3 hours. The procedure involves:

Incision Placement: A horizontal incision is made just above the pubic area, designed to be discreetly hidden beneath undergarments.
Muscle Tightening: The underlying abdominal muscles are repaired and tightened.
Skin and Fat Removal: Excess skin and fat are removed to achieve a smoother contour.
Belly Button Repositioning: In full tummy tucks, the belly button may be repositioned for a natural look.
Closure and Recovery: The incision is sutured, and dressings are applied to aid healing.

Will my tummy tuck results look natural?

Yes, our expert surgeons at PVPS use precise techniques to create a smooth, natural contour that enhances your body’s proportions. Scars are strategically placed to be as discreet as possible.

How soon after childbirth can I have a tummy tuck?

It is generally recommended to wait at least six months after giving birth before considering a tummy tuck. This allows your body time to heal and your weight to stabilize for optimal results.

Can I undergo a tummy tuck if I have had a previous abdominal surgery?

Yes, many patients with prior abdominal surgeries, including C-sections, can still have a tummy tuck. During your consultation, our surgeons will evaluate your medical history and determine the best approach.

How can I maintain my results long-term?

Maintaining a stable weight through a healthy diet and regular exercise is key to preserving your tummy tuck results. Significant weight fluctuations can impact the longevity of your outcome.

What kind of scarring should I expect?

While a tummy tuck does involve a scar, our surgeons place the incision low on the abdomen so it can be easily concealed beneath underwear or swimwear. Over time, the scar will fade with proper care.

Can a tummy tuck help with back pain or posture?

By tightening weakened abdominal muscles, a tummy tuck can improve core strength, which may help alleviate some back pain and enhance posture.

What should I avoid after surgery to ensure proper healing?

Patients should avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and excessive bending for several weeks post-surgery. Following all post-operative care instructions will promote a smooth recovery.
