Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Coral Gables, FL | Gentera Center for Plastic Surgery

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and restore abdominal muscle integrity. Ideal for patients who have experienced significant weight loss or post-pregnancy body changes, this procedure can provide transformative aesthetic results.

Candidate Requirements for Abdominoplasty

Patients considering a tummy tuck must meet specific health and lifestyle criteria:

• Maintain a stable weight for at least 6 months
• Be in good overall physical health
• Have a committed nutrition and exercise plan
• Be in sound psychological health
• For women, be certain no future pregnancies are planned

Surgical Procedure Details

During a typical abdominoplasty, Gentera Center's plastic surgeons perform a precise surgical approach:

• Create a hip-to-hip incision below the bikini line
• Remove loose and sagging abdominal skin
• Repair separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
• Reshape and tighten remaining abdominal tissues

Benefits of Tummy Tuck Surgery

Patients can expect significant aesthetic and psychological benefits from abdominoplasty, including improved body contours, enhanced clothing fit, and increased self-confidence. The procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have undergone substantial weight loss through diet, exercise, or surgical interventions.

Post-Surgical Expectations

Patients will achieve a firmer, more refined abdominal profile. The elimination of excess skin provides a sleeker physique that can dramatically improve body image and comfort in form-fitting clothing.
