Tummy Tuck Can Create A Smoother Toned Stomach Profile
Even individuals who maintain a healthy body weight are prone to sagging abdominal skin, and it can be caused by other factors as well, including: Aging, Pregnancy, Fluctuations in Weight, & Prior Surgery.
Commonly referred to as Abdominoplasty, a Tummy Tuck not only removes excess skin and fat but also restores weakened or separated muscles in the abdomen, creating a smoother, toned stomach profile.

What is Recovery Like?
For the first few days after surgery, you may experience some swelling in your abdomen as you begin to heal. You may also experience some soreness and discomfort, which can be controlled with medication. The healing timeline depends on the extent of the surgery, and although you may not have your full range of movement for the first few days, you may be advised to begin walking as soon as possible to prevent clotting.
During healing, a light exercise regimen is often recommended in order to reduce swelling, prevent blood clots and promote your body’s natural healing processes. Those who were in good physical condition prior to surgery may recover from having a tummy tuck more quickly than others, but in general it can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks to return to work after surgery..
