Before & Afters

Tummy Tuck

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) in Salt Lake City Utah

Sculpt, Tighten, and Define Your Midsection

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying abdominal muscles. This procedure is ideal for individuals looking to restore a flatter, firmer, and more toned midsection—especially after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging.

How a Tummy Tuck Works

Sculpt, Tighten, and Define Your Midsection

Removing excess skin and fat
Helps eliminate stubborn fat deposits that diet and exercise can’t target.
Tightening the abdominal muscles
Strengthens and repairs weakened or separated muscles (diastasis recti) for a firmer core.
Reshaping the midsection
Improves body contours for a more defined and sculpted appearance.

The Tummy Tuck Procedure

Incision Placement:
A horizontal incision is carefully placed below the navel, typically hidden beneath undergarments or swimwear. The length of the incision depends on how much excess skin needs to be removed.
Navel Repositioning:
In some cases, a second incision around the belly button may be needed to adjust skin removal from the upper abdomen while maintaining a natural appearance.
Muscle Repair:
The underlying abdominal muscles are tightened to reinforce core strength and reduce bulging.
Skin and Fat Removal:
Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is repositioned for a smooth, firm look.
Closing the Incision:
Sutures are placed, and a compression garment is typically worn to aid in healing and support the new contour.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

You may be a great candidate if you:

Have excess abdominal skin that won’t go away with diet and exercise.
Experience muscle separation (diastasis recti) after pregnancy.
Want a more toned and sculpted midsection.
Are at or near your ideal weight but struggle with stubborn fat.
Have realistic expectations about the procedure and recovery.

What to Expect During Recovery

Initial Healing:
Some swelling and discomfort are expected, but medication and compression garments will help manage these effects.
Downtime:
Most patients take about 1-2 weeks off work, depending on activity levels.
Activity Restrictions:
Avoid strenuous activities for at least 4-6 weeks to allow proper healing.
Long-Term Results:
With a healthy lifestyle, results are long-lasting, providing a firmer and more youthful midsection.
