WHAT IS A TUMMY TUCK? CORSET TUMMY TUCK?

A traditional tummy tuck, medically referred to as an abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that targets the abdomen, providing shaping and contouring benefits. It involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the abdomen, tightening the underlying muscles of the abdominal wall (diastasis), and liposuction of the hips/pubic area for final contouring. This is a great procedure for patients who have experienced changes to their body from pregnancy and weight loss.

Dr. Pisarski also performs a corset abdominoplasty. This is an enhancement on a traditional abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). It is an abdominal and waistline contouring procedure that targets and reshapes not only the upper and lower abdomen, but also the posterior waistline, resulting in a 360 degree improvement. It is an ideal procedure with patients with multiple rolls and excess skin resulting from weight loss and allows Dr. Pisarski to address specific areas of skin redundancy.

Tummy tucks are done under general anesthesia. This procedure is performed by making a horizontal incision along the hipbones above the pubic area. An additional incision is made around the navel, and excess skin and fat is removed from these incisions. The surrounding abdominal muscles are also tightened. In some cases, liposuction of the hips and pubic area can also be performed to provide complimenting results.

You can return home the day of the procedure, and a tummy tuck typically takes two to three hours. After the surgery, you will be instructed to wear a support garment for multiple weeks as you recover. Some mild symptoms, including some swelling, a tight sensation, and numbness can also occur for several weeks.

In most cases, patients are able to return to work after around two weeks and can resume physical exercise after around four weeks. It is important to note that you should avoid direct abdominal exercise for around a year after the surgery.
