A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a transformative procedure that helps restore a smooth, firm and trim abdominal profile by removing excess skin and fat and tightening the underlying muscles. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight, women who have gone through pregnancy, or those who struggle with loose, sagging skin that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise. During your consultation, Dr. Schmidt will discuss your options and help you decide if traditional abdominoplasty, mini-abdominoplasty, or fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty is the best option to achieve your goals. If you have healthy skin and muscle tone but are frustrated with stubborn abdominal fat or stretched skin, a tummy tuck may be the solution to help you achieve a more sculpted and youthful figure.

Tummy Tuck Recovery
A New, Contoured Silhouette
Recovery from a tummy tuck requires some patience, but the results are well worth it. Immediately after surgery, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which will be managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients are able to return to light activities within 1–2 weeks, with full recovery taking about 6–8 weeks. As your body heals, the contour of your abdomen will improve significantly, with a flatter, firmer appearance. Scarring is minimal and can be easily concealed beneath clothing or swimwear. By the time your recovery is complete, you’ll enjoy a beautifully toned and sculpted abdomen that enhances your overall appearance and boosts your confidence.
