What Is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a body contouring procedure that perfects and restores the appearance of the abdomen. During the surgery, excess skin and fat are removed, the abdominal muscles are tightened, and midline separation is repaired. The result is a flatter tummy and a smaller waistline.

If I Have a Tummy Tuck Now, Will My Results Be Ready for Summer?
If you want a better body this summer, now is the time to act. It can take time for your full results to appear after a tummy tuck. Hurry in if you want to enjoy your results this summer.
Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common after surgery. These will fade as your body heals. The swelling is usually the last side effect to resolve. Some patients experience swelling for several months after surgery, but much of the swelling should fade before then. You’ll likely be able to return to work within two weeks. You’ll need to wear compression garments full time for a month and half time for two additional weeks.
