Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, might be the perfect solution if you are looking to achieve a more toned and contoured abdomen. At Gruber Plastic Surgery in Tampa, FL, our skilled plastic surgeon, Dr. Meegan Gruber, uses advanced techniques to ensure natural-looking results. This tummy tuck procedure can address issues like sagging skin, excess fat, and weakened abdominal muscles. During tummy tuck surgery, the surgeon will make an incision, typically from hip to hip, to remove excess skin and fat around the belly and tighten the abdominal wall. The suture technique used ensures minimal scarring and optimal healing. The tummy tuck may also involve repositioning the belly button for a natural appearance. We will review your medical history and discuss the type of procedure that best suits your needs, whether it's a full tummy tuck, mini abdominoplasty, or extended tummy tuck. Recovery time varies, but you can expect some pain and swelling following surgery. Most patients can resume normal activities, avoiding strenuous exercise, within a few weeks. Schedule a consultation with us today to see if you’re a good candidate for a tummy tuck and learn more about how it can enhance your natural form. At Gruber Plastic Surgery, we are committed to helping you achieve a firmer, more toned abdomen, whether you are dealing with the results of significant weight loss or seeking to remove excess fat and skin that hasn't responded to diet or exercise. Our team is here to support you every step of the way.
