Who is a good candidate for a Tummy Tuck?
A good candidate for a tummy tuck is a person who is seeking improve their body contour. Tummy tuck patients either have muscle tone that need to be corrected and/or excess skin that needs to be removed. Tummy tuck patients should be at a stable weight. Good health and reasonable expectations are important for any cosmetic surgery procedure.
How long does a Tummy Tuck take?
The procedure can take between 3-5 hours of surgical time. However, you should plan to spend the day at our facility on the day of your surgery as the patient check in and recovery process adds an hour to the surgical time.
What should I expect after a Tummy Tuck?
The recovery period for a tummy tuck generally takes 7-10 days and within a few weeks patients are back to their usual schedule.
After your procedure you will be given specific instructions with how to care for the area post-surgery. It is very important to follow these instructions.
What procedures are often done at the same time as a Tummy Tuck?
A breast augmentation can be performed at the same time as a tummy tuck. These procedures are commonly combined and known as a mommy makeover.
What are alternative to a Tummy Tuck?
Unfortunately you will not get the same results as a tummy tuck with a non-invasive treatment. A mini tummy tuck could help if most of the excess skin is below the belly button.
Where will the procedure take place?
JW Plastic Surgery offers patients 10 hospitals and 5 surgical centers to select from when booking their surgery. In some cases, your personal health history will mean that we will recommend a specific health setting that will best meet your needs. Most cosmetic patients decide to have surgery at JW Operatory, our Joint Commission-accredited facility, due to price and availability.
Will a Tummy Tuck produce permanent results?
Tummy tuck procedures produce permanent results. It is important to maintain your weight or lose weight after the procedure in order to fully enjoy the rewards of your investment.
Does a Tummy Tuck remove all stretch marks?
If the undesired stretch marks are located within the area that will be corrected, the tummy tuck will remove those scars as they are removed as part of the surgery. However, if the stretch marks are located above the belly button or in an area not affected by the tummy tuck procedure, the stretch marks will still be there once the procedure but they are often less obvious due to repositioning them lower on the abdominal wall. Speak to your surgeon about which marks you can expect to be removed during your procedure.
What areas of the body can a Tummy Tuck treat?
It can help with problem areas located in the abdomen or stomach area. It corrects issue with excess or sagging skin and abdominal muscles that have separated and weakened. It can also treat excess fatty tissue that has concentrated in the abdomen area that has not responded well to a healthy diet or exercise.
How do I know if I need a mini-tummy tuck vs a regular tummy tuck?
The best way to figure out which tuck procedure is required is to attend an in person consultation. Generally, if you have good muscle tone and simply need to remove skin below the belly button, a mini-tummy tuck may be a good option for you. If you have laxity/looseness or excess skin that extends above the belly button (think of it as a doughy look), then you may be a better candidate for a regular tummy tuck.
A tummy tuck can remove excess skin and tighten stomach muscles giving you a slimmer, tighter stomach. Pregnancy, aging and weight fluctuation can lead to stretching of skin, loosening of muscles, and a less desirable body contour.

Tummy tuck is a body-contouring procedure to improve the contour of the midsection. Patients often ask how to know which procedure they will likely need. While individual needs can only be determined by a personal consultation, there are some general guidelines we can offer. A patient simply with loose skin below the navel and good muscle tone may be a good candidate for a mini tummy tuck (with or without upper abdomen liposuction). A full tummy tuck is often the best option for patients with loose skin and muscles laxity that extend above the navel.
