Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) in Stuart, FL
Tummy tuck or abdominaloplasty is a surgical procedure that tightens the muscles and removes excess skin from the abdomen. This procedure improves the appearance of the abdominal area by addressing sagging skin and loose muscles that may occur after significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. The surgery targets the entire midsection, including the lower and upper abdomen, and also addresses the waistline. The result is a smoother, more contoured abdominal profile that enhances your body shape.
Tummy tuck is ideal for individuals with stubborn fat under their belly or loose skin that has not responded to diet and exercise. It is also suitable for those who stretch their abdominal muscles, often after pregnancy or significant weight loss. While the procedure provides long-lasting results, it’s critical to maintain a stable weight for the most optimal outcome. After surgery, patients can typically see noticeable results within a few months, although complete healing may take up to a year. The results of a tummy tuck are permanent but can be affected by future weight fluctuations.

Tummy tuck (Abdominoplasty) is surgery that tightens and removes extra skin and fat from the abdominal wall. It is often performed following weight loss or pregnancy to restore an appearance of smoother, more toned abdominals.
Ideal candidates are individuals in exemplary health who have excess skin or fat on their abdomens that has not improved with diet or exercise. It’s particularly beneficial for those who have lost significant weight or women after pregnancy.
Results from Tummy tuck surgery are typically visible within a few months. However, as swelling continues to subside, it may take up to a year for complete healing and final results to appear.
The results can last for many years as long as a stable weight is maintained. Weight fluctuations or future pregnancies can affect the results, but the procedure improves the abdominal contour.
While some discomfort is expected after the procedure, it can be managed with pain medications. The recovery typically involves some swelling and bruising, but most patients can return to light activities within a few weeks.
Tummy tuck surgery reduces stretch marks, especially on the lower abdomen. The procedure removes excess skin, including stretch marks, improving the abdominal area’s overall look.
