Rating: 4.6 (485 reviews)

When you want to improve the look of your belly, but diet and exercise aren’t enough, a tummy tuck in Boston could be exactly what you're looking for.

Feel Confident In Your Body

Do you want a sleeker silhouette? An abdominoplasty might be right for you. Also known as a Tummy Tuck, this procedure removes loose skin, stretch marks, and belly fat for a toned and flat stomach. Diet and exercise routines are important, but cannot reduce significant amounts of loose skin that occur after a substantial weight loss or pregnancy. When nothing else works, a Tummy Tuck is a good option to tone up your midsection.

Tummy Tuck Overview

Why Patients Choose Abdominoplasty

As you grow older, the muscles in your abdomen become weaker and start to sag. This can cause a noticeable abdominal bulge. On top of that, the elasticity of your skin declines, leading to sagging of the overlying skin. Pockets of excess stubborn fat can also form in the abdominal region.

With pregnancy, expansion of your abdomen over 9 months causes the muscles of the abdominal wall to separate and become weak. Your skin stretches and expands rapidly as well, and after childbirth, it often cannot shrink back down to how it was prior to pregnancy. Fast skin stretching due to pregnancy can also cause stretch marks.

Sagging abdominal skin, excess fat, drooping muscles, and stretch marks can often have a negative impact on your self-confidence. It can be difficult to hide these issues in form-fitting clothing, at the gym, or in swimwear at the beach or pool. Fortunately, abdominoplasty in Boston can help.

The Abdominoplasty Procedure

An abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) in Boston is performed in The Spiegel Center’s surgical facility using general anesthesia or IV sedation to keep you comfortable. The procedure typically follows these steps:

Step 1: Anesthesia
Anesthesia is administered to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the surgery.
Step 2: Incisions
A horizontal incision is made across the lower abdomen, usually from hip to hip, along with a small incision around the belly button. These are placed so scars can be hidden beneath underwear or swimwear.
Step 3: Muscle Tightening
The abdominal muscles are repaired and tightened with internal sutures to restore a firmer abdominal wall.
Step 4: Fat and Skin Removal
Liposuction may be used to remove excess fat, and loose skin is trimmed and repositioned for a smoother contour.
Step 5: Closure
The remaining skin is secured and the incisions are closed with carefully placed sutures.

Recovering From Abdominoplasty

Once you undergo an abdominoplasty, you will probably feel like getting back on your feet as fast as possible. However, it’s best to keep in mind that the rate of recovery depends on how well you take care of yourself during the healing process. It is vital that patients follow the doctor’s instructions during the recovery period.

For the next six weeks after the procedure, you will need to wear an abdominal binder, which is a compressive dressing like a girdle or “Spanx.” This will help to reduce swelling and bruising and permit scars to heal as invisibly as possible. During sleep, it can be helpful to slightly elevate your upper body and keep your knees bent. You can make this easier by placing pillows underneath your knees. It’s like sleeping in a “beach chair.”

Additional Helpful Recovery Tips

Drink plenty of water every day and stick to a healthy diet. Try to include all types of vegetables and fresh fruits, which will give your body the nutrients it needs to heal properly. You can also take vitamin C and vitamin A supplements to reduce the duration of your recovery period.

Try to walk for a short time every day after the surgery in order to ensure proper blood flow and avoid complications. Stay away from strenuous activities such as lifting heavy weights or vigorous exercise. Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, since these can hamper the healing process.
