A tummy tuck results in a comprehensive reshaping of the abdomen. Your overall experience and your outcome are of the utmost importance to our entire staff of warm, caring professionals.

Request a complimentary cosmetic consultation to discuss abdominoplasty with one of our Omaha plastic surgeons at Aesthetic Surgical Images or call us at 800-331-5001.

Tummy Tuck: What Are your options?

Understanding Tummy Tuck

Even people with a healthy body weight can have a protruding tummy or loose, sagging skin. Heredity, pregnancies and significant weight loss or gain can contribute to this problem. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and tightens the underlying muscles resulting in a flatter, tighter tummy.

During your initial consultation, one of our skilled surgeons will take the time to understand your goals, discuss realistic expectations and provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision. We can also help you visualize your results using our state-of-the-art computer imaging system. While the image is not an assurance of results, it will help you understand realistic surgical improvements.

Tummy Tuck: A Step-by-Step Look

Your Tummy Tuck procedure

An abdominoplasty re-contours the entire abdomen. It is typically performed for men and women who have excess skin of the abdomen, loose abdominal musculature and excess fat. If you are healthy and your weight is relatively stable, you may be a good candidate for a tummy tuck. Omaha-area women who are done having children are particularly fond of the procedure because it can also get rid of stretch marks on the lower part of the belly.

Aesthetic Surgical Images performs tummy tuck surgery under general anesthesia. The primary incision runs horizontally across the lower abdomen and is carefully placed so that it is covered by most swimsuits and undergarments. This allows your surgeon to repair weakened muscles and remove excess skin for a flatter, smoother tummy. A second incision is made around the navel, which is repositioned for a more natural result.

Many patients who choose tummy tuck surgery also have an Omaha liposuction procedure on their hips and waist for a more complete makeover. And, oftentimes, breast reduction, breast lift or breast augmentation for Omaha area moms completes their Mommy Makeover.

Enjoying your results

As a major surgery, our patients need to plan for several days of recovery time before they feel back to their usual selves. Following your post-surgical instructions will help to maximize comfort and results. Our patients consistently tell us that their new, slimmer shape has helped them look and feel great in their clothes and has renewed their self-confidence. See for yourself the difference a tummy tuck can make when you visit our before & after photo gallery.

Tummy Tuck FAQs

What is the difference between a mini-tummy tuck and a full tummy tuck?

The basic difference between a mini-tummy tuck and a full tummy tuck is that the belly button is not repositioned during the course of a mini-tummy tuck and the muscles may not be tightened. In a mini-tummy tuck the improvement is generally restricted to the lower part of the abdomen between belly button and the pubic bone. The incisions for a mini tummy tuck are shorter and a limited amount of skin is removed. In a full tummy tuck the tightening goes up to the rib cage margin and allows the surgeon to tighten the muscle layer from the rib margin down to the bottom of the abdomen. When this operation is performed it requires that the navel is kept at the same level and be brought out through a new incision after the skin is pulled down.

How do I know if a mini-tummy tuck is best for me?

Your surgeon will carefully evaluate you during your consultation. If he or she feels that liposuction alone will leave you with loose skin but does not feel that you need a full tummy tuck, then a mini tummy tuck may be recommended.

Why are the muscles tightened?

Many women who undergo child bearing develop a separation of their abdominal muscles. Unfortunately this separation cannot be improved with exercise and sit ups. In order to correct this problem, specialized stitches in the muscle area are required. Once the muscle is tightened the excess skin and fat is removed, the abdomen has undergone the maximum amount of recontouring.

What is the recovery with a full tummy tuck?

Complete recovery from a fully tummy tuck may take 6-8 weeks. During the first ten days to two weeks you will usually remain at home resting comfortably. During this time patients are encouraged to walk around the house. After the initial recovery you will ease back into your daily activities during the next 2-3 weeks. You should refrain from heavy exercise for 6-8 weeks after the operation.
