Whether you’ve experienced weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or aging, our team can help you restore core confidence with this transformative procedure.
What is Abdominoplasty?
Abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles. This results in a flatter, firmer, and more contoured appearance.
There are two main types:
- Full Abdominoplasty – Ideal for those with loose skin and weakened muscles across the entire abdominal area.
- Mini Abdominoplasty – Focuses on the lower abdomen, below the belly button, for milder cases.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Abdominoplasty?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have loose or sagging abdominal skin
- Struggle with separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
- Are in good health and at a stable weight
- Are finished having children
Abdominoplasty is not a weight loss procedure but a body contouring solution.
What Is Recovery Like After a Tummy Tuck?
Most patients take 1–2 weeks off work and gradually return to regular activities within 4–6 weeks. You’ll need to wear a compression garment and follow your surgeon’s post-op instructions to support healing.
At Imagos Plastic Surgery, we use techniques that minimize scarring and promote a smoother recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Abdominoplasty
How long do tummy tuck results last?
With a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, your results can last for many years—even decades.
Does abdominoplasty leave a scar?
Yes, but the scar is typically placed low enough to be hidden beneath underwear or swimwear. Our surgeons use advanced closure techniques to make scars as minimal as possible.
Can abdominoplasty be combined with other procedures?
Absolutely. Many patients choose to combine it with liposuction or a Mommy Makeover for more comprehensive body contouring.
