Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to flatten and smooth the stomach area by removing stubborn fat and excess skin while tightening the abdominal wall muscles.

​

Who Can Benefit

• Women after childbirth: Women who have given birth often seek a tummy tuck as part of a "mommy makeover" to regain their pre-pregnancy body.

• Individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight: Both men and women may benefit from a tummy tuck to remove stretched, excess skin.

​

Procedure

Before the surgery, a doctor will conduct a physical examination and discuss your desired outcomes. The procedure may involve a complete abdominoplasty, which includes an incision across the hips to contour skin, muscles, and tissue. The belly button may also be repositioned, and drainage tubes may be required for the first few days of recovery.

​

Recovery

The recovery period after a tummy tuck is significant, requiring careful attention to healing and doctor's instructions. Patients will have stitches and bandages on the abdomen, so it's essential to avoid strenuous activities. Proper recovery is key to achieving the desired results.

While recovery can be a lengthy process, most patients are highly satisfied with their results. For more information, you can contact the ZENIFY team for a free consultation.
