Common Questions About the Tummy Tuck Procedure:

Q: How much is a Tummy Tuck?

A: It’s not a cheap procedure that’s for sure. To find out our price for the surgery give us a call and we can explain the exact costs as well as answer any other questions or concerns you may have.

Q: How long does the procedure take?

Q: The time required to complete a tummy tuck varies greatly depending on the individuals body condition and build. For people with a larger amount of skin or fat the procedure could take longer, whereas with people with less may not take as long. As a rule the procedure will take at least two hours and in some cases up to 4 hours or more.

Q: Will there be a scar left after the surgery?

A: There will be a scar but it may not be as bad as you think. The procedure typically produces a shallow incision low on the belly below the belly button that heals well and in many people fades to almost nothing in a couple of years. If the appearance of the scar is particularly bothersome you may also elect to receive scar therapy to improve it further.

Q: Do men also undergo abdominoplasty?

A: Absolutely! The abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) procedure is certainly not just for women. The only difference with the tummy tuck for men is that men usually don’t worry as much about the post-op scar that remains on the lower abdomen.

Q: How long does it take to recover?

A: Tummy tuck recovery time can take anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks. During this time you should expect to conduct your day to day activities in a slightly different manner such as refraining from heavy lifting or doing certain work outs or movements. Call us for a free consult to discuss exactly what changes you’ll need to make in the weeks during recovery.
