Often when one has had babies or weight loss they are left with extra skin, fat, and stretch marks on the lower stomach. Additionally people may also suffer from laxity of the muscle layer being stretched out and loose.

Abdominoplasty or Tummy Tuck is a surgical procedure designed to remove the extra loose skin and fat from your stomach while allowing the surgeon to tighten the muscle layer of your stomach.

Before your tummy tuck procedure:

During your consultation Dr. Yalif, an Atlatna Tummy Tuck surgeon, will discuss with you your surgical options, including incision placement, potential risks of the surgery and which surgery is right for you. With your input an appropriate surgical plan will be formulated.

Where do we perform tummy tuck operations?

Abdominoplasty/ Tummy Tuck surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The surgery typical takes a few hours. It may be coupled with other procedures, like liposuction, which may increase the surgical time and recovery.

Abdominoplasty/Tummy tuck recovery:

Post surgical discomfort is managed with oral pain medication and close follow up will be performed by Dr. Yalif. Drains may be placed which will be removed in the office once deemed appropriate.

Patients typically return to work one week after their operation and gentle exercise can be restarted approximately one month after surgery. Full recovery takes 6-8 weeks to achieve.
