What is a Mini Tummy Tuck?

A mini tummy tuck uses the same techniques as a traditional tummy tuck but focuses on the area of the abdomen below the belly button. By opting for a mini tummy tuck, patients can enjoy similar body sculpting results with a less extensive surgery and a shorter recovery period. This can be a great solution for patients who are looking for minor body sculpting results.

What is the difference between an Anterior Torsoplasty and a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, also called an abdominoplasty, is the most basic abdominal contouring option and can help patients achieve a toned abdomen. Dr. Wassermann has developed his own improved procedure called an Anterior Torsoplasty that combines the best parts of a traditional tummy tuck with improved techniques for an amazing outcome. This procedure includes tightening all soft tissue layers of the abdomen and creating a flatter, firmer appearance; liposuction of the upper, lower and flanks of the abdomen; as well as an enhanced incision that will take care of the “muffin top” and create a completely smooth contour of the hips as well. This technique eliminates the stubborn tummy bulge and sculpts attractive, toned, and incredibly natural-looking results, improving abdominal wall appearance and function. Most patients achieve some degree of weight loss as a result of their tummy tuck procedure.

How is a Tummy Tuck Performed?

Each tummy tuck treatment is modified to address a patient’s specific concerns. All tummy tucks are performed with the aid of anesthesia to ensure that each patient remains entirely comfortable during their treatment. Typically, a tummy tuck includes liposuction of the abdomen and hips, abdominal wall reinforcement, and hernia repair if required. Dr. Wassermann will remove as much abdominal fat and excess skin as possible to deliver optimal results. Afterwards, incisions are closed and the treatment is complete. A tummy tuck can take up to four hours, depending on the extent of surgery involved and the results desired.

What is Recovery Like Following a Tummy Tuck?

Most abdominoplasty patients are able to return to work and non-strenuous activities in about one to two weeks.

A tummy tuck is an effective treatment for toning the abdomen area, creating a firmer, sculpted appearance.
