Tummy Tuck Surgery for a Flatter, Firmer Abdomen

Life events like pregnancy, significant weight changes, aging, or genetics can leave behind stretched skin, weakened abdominal muscles, and stubborn fat that no workout can resolve. A tummy tuck at Aesthetx addresses these concerns with precision — removing excess skin, repairing the underlying muscles, and sculpting a smoother, flatter, more defined midsection.

Abdominoplasty Recovery

Your tummy tuck will take about three to four hours to complete, and we perform this surgery in our fully-accredited, state-of-the-art surgical facility. Many patients are comfortable with an epidural and sedation, which allows them to experience a fast recovery. Catheters are placed deep in the abdomen to minimize any discomfort after the procedure.

Because the abdominoplasty is an outpatient procedure, you will be able to go home the same day as your surgery. You will leave with specialized compression bandages in place that will help to prevent swelling and support your body as you heal. Most of our patients take about two weeks away from work, and are able to return to most daily activities after this initial time of recovery.

Aesthetx is renowned for extremely informative and in-depth consultations. To schedule your private consultation for an abdominoplasty or to learn more about the procedures, contact Aesthetx by visiting HERE or calling (408) 789-8954.

Why Choose Our Mommy Makeover?

The mommy makeover aims to reverse the physiological changes that happen to women after pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Despite rigorous exercise, many women find their core too flabby because the abdominal wall has become stretched and weakened by the strain of carrying a baby to full term.

Once this happens, these underlying tissues are nearly impossible to tighten through exercise.

Many women choose to include:

  • abdominoplasty
  • liposuction
  • breast lift
  • breast augmentation
  • breast fat transfer

Every woman’s journey toward restoring her femininity is different. Whatever changes you desire, we’ll tailor your mommy makeover specifically for you.
