Frequently Asked Questions
Please note that while this section provides general information, it is not a substitute for a personalized consultation with our experienced plastic surgeon. Each case is different, and the specific details of your procedure will be discussed during your consultation.

Am I a good candidate for a tummy tuck?
Good candidates for a tummy tuck are typically individuals who are in good overall health, have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure, and are bothered by excess abdominal skin and fat that has not responded to diet and exercise. Ideal candidates should also be at a stable weight and not planning significant weight loss or pregnancy in the future.
Will there be visible scarring after a tummy tuck?
While scarring is an inevitable part of any surgical procedure, the extent and visibility of scarring can vary depending on factors such as surgical technique and individual healing. During a tummy tuck, incisions are typically made low on the abdomen, below the bikini line, to minimize visibility. Over time, scars tend to fade and become less noticeable, especially with proper scar care.
Can a tummy tuck address stretch marks?
While a tummy tuck can remove excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen, it is not specifically designed to target stretch marks. However, stretch marks that are located within the excised skin may be removed along with the excess tissue. Stretch marks outside the treated area may appear less prominent or stretched after surgery but may still be visible to some extent.
Are there any risks associated with tummy tuck surgery?
Like any surgical procedure, tummy tuck surgery carries certain risks and potential complications, including infection, bleeding, poor wound healing, asymmetry, and changes in sensation. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in tummy tuck procedures and following pre-operative and post-operative guidelines can help minimize these risks.
Can I combine a tummy tuck with other procedures?
Yes, it’s possible to combine a tummy tuck with other cosmetic procedures such as liposuction, breast augmentation, or thigh lift to achieve comprehensive body contouring results. However, the suitability for combination procedures will depend on individual factors and should be discussed with your plastic surgeon during the consultation.
