Tummy tucks reduce fat and remove sagging skin on the abdomen for a slimmer, flatter stomach and attractively contoured waistline.
A “tummy tuck” or abdominoplasty is a safe and effective method for dealing with stubborn fat and sagging skin in the abdomen. It is ideal when non-surgical alternatives are not working, and a long-lasting and satisfying result is desired.
During this procedure, Dr. Hill removes any excess skin and fat. In addition, he focuses on tightening the abdominal muscles, leading to a firmer and flatter stomach.

As we age, life events and hormonal changes contribute to loose skin and excess fat in the abdomen. Pregnancy and significant weight fluctuations can leave the abdomen with stretch marks, loose skin, areas of stubborn fat, and weakened abdominal muscles. Abdominal muscles that have separated or stretched out often cannot be improved by diet or exercise.
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery used to contour the abdomen and reduce unwanted skin and fat. During this procedure, Dr. Hill removes this excess skin and fat. In addition, he focuses on tightening the abdominal muscles, leading to a firmer and flatter stomach.
After arriving in one of our designated surgical centers, you will be placed under general anesthesia. An incision is placed horizontally on the lowest part of the abdomen just above the pubic area. The abdominal muscles are brought back together if they have separated and secured. This leads to a flatter stomach and longer-lasting results. Excess fat and skin are trimmed away before the incision is closed. The procedure typically takes one to four hours, depending on the type of abdominoplasty performed and the degree of complexity. It is often an outpatient procedure, but an overnight stay may be required in more complex cases.

After your procedure, you most often return home. You will wear a compression garment for several weeks following your surgery. A drain may placed under the skin to prevent fluid buildup. These drains are typically removed within 2 to 7 days after the procedure. Patients usually require 7 to 10 days to recover. Strenuous activity should be avoided for several weeks following the surgery.
Abdominoplasty results are visible immediately after surgery, although full results may not be realized until postoperative swelling dissipates, which can take a few months.
An abdominoplasty contours the body and is not considered weight loss surgery. For patients already close to their ideal weight, an abdominoplasty is used to sculpt and define the abdomen and does not cause dramatic weight change. However, since some fat and skin is removed, incidental loss of some weight may result.
Abdominoplasty is a customizable surgery. Therefore, tummy tuck prices vary per patient. During your consultation, the cost will be discussed in detail. We will also provide information on financing options and suggest ways to save on this popular cosmetic surgery.
An abdominoplasty is best suited for healthy men and women with a BMI of 32 or lower, whose weight has been stable for the prior 6 months. Candidates should be in good health and refrain from smoking. Candidacy for this surgery is best determined by a physical assessment from a plastic surgeon. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Hill to learn more and find out if an abdominoplasty is right for you.
