Reshaping & Refining Body Contours

What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat and loose skin while tightening weakened abdominal muscles, often caused by pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging.

This procedure addresses:

  • Excess abdominal skin and fat that diet & exercise cannot fix
  • Diastasis recti (separation of abdominal muscles) for a flatter, firmer stomach
  • Ventral & umbilical hernia repair for improved abdominal integrity
  • Stretch mark improvement, especially below the navel

Patients often combine tummy tucks with liposuction for enhanced contouring and optimal body balance.

The Procedure: Sculpting a Stronger Core

Dr. LaTrenta customizes each tummy tuck to the patient’s needs, ensuring optimal contouring and long-lasting results.

Surgical Process & Techniques

  • Incision Placement – A horizontal incision is made low along the bikini line, ensuring scars remain discreet and easy to conceal.
  • Muscle Tightening – Separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) are brought back together, strengthening the core.
  • Excess Skin Removal – Loose skin is removed and tightened, creating a firm, youthful abdominal profile.
  • Navel Reshaping – A small opening is made to preserve or reposition the belly button naturally.
  • Optional Liposuction – Fat removal in surrounding areas enhances contouring.

Procedure Time: 2-3 hours under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation.

Who is the Best Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

  • Return to Normal Life (1 Week) – Most daily activities can resume within 7-10 days.
  • Exercise & Sports (3-4 Weeks) – Light exercise can begin after 3 weeks, with sports activities resuming after 4 weeks.
