Tummy Tuck

With aging, pregnancy, and massive weight loss, the abdomen may succumb to sagging skin, weakened or separated muscles, and a protrusion of fatty tissue. Tummy tuck surgery combats these concerns in a single strategic procedure to slim, firm, and reshape the midsection.

Despite their fit, active lifestyles and rigorous adherence to an exercise regimen, many of Dr. Kinal’s Orlando patients still struggle to achieve their ideal body sculpting results. A tummy tuck can complement these efforts by removing excess drooping skin from the midsection while simultaneously firming the six-pack muscles and repositioning the navel in a more youthful-looking location.

What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck is a gold-standard body contouring procedure that can help patients achieve a flatter, more sculpted abdomen after changes in the physique related to aging, pregnancy, or significant weight loss. During surgery, Dr. Kinal will remove excess skin and tissue, tighten the rectus abdominis, and trim stubborn pockets of fat. The navel is also relocated to reflect a more youthful-looking lower body profile.

Tummy Tuck Procedure Types

Full Abdominoplasty

A full or standard tummy tuck addresses multiple midsection concerns at once. It can firm and tone the underlying stomach muscles, excise sagging skin, and reposition the navel. It is a comprehensive procedure for achieving a more youthful, sculpted physique.

Mini Tummy Tuck

A mini tummy tuck is typically suggested for patients who have a minimal amount of skin and tissue to be removed from below the navel. A smaller incision is made along the bikini line, where scarring will later be well-concealed. The belly button is not repositioned with this technique.

Fleur-De-Lis Tummy Tuck

A fleur-de-lis tummy tuck is ideal for those patients seeking to remove a more significant amount of skin and tissue from the midsection. An incision is made both horizontally from hip to hip, and vertically, stretching to the middle of the belly. This gives Dr. Kinal a great deal of flexibility when contouring the area and leads to more precise sculpting. It is often chosen for patients who have undergone massive weight loss or bariatric surgery.

Low Cut Tummy Tuck

Dr. Kinal offers a low cut tummy tuck for those patients concerned about visible scarring. The incision with this approach is placed along the bikini line, where it will later be inconspicuous and typically covered by undergarments. Despite the lower placement of the incision, the surgery still tones the abdominal wall, elevates the pubis, and creates a flatter, more attractive midsection.

Who Makes the Best Tummy Tuck Candidate?

Dr. Kinal carefully assesses each client on a case-by-case basis to ensure that abdominoplasty is the best body sculpting option for their goals and wishes and that the procedure will be a safe and successful choice. He will conduct a detailed physical evaluation along with an in-depth review of your medical history during your private consultation.

Dr. Kinal offers a range of tummy tuck options, including standard abdominoplasty, mini abdominoplasty, a fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty, and low-cut abdominoplasty. Patients should be healthy non-smokers who are free from any untreated medical conditions that might interfere with their surgery or its recovery. Additionally, they should have a realistic and positive outlook toward their outcome.

Recovery

Recovery time will vary depending on the precise techniques chosen and the patient’s individual healing process. For mini tummy tucks, recuperation time is usually around 7 days, while for a standard tummy tuck, it may take 2 weeks. Dr. Kinal will provide a detailed aftercare plan with a definitive timeline for when you can resume work, exercise, and normal activities.

After surgery, patients will be fitted with compression garments to help reduce swelling and keep their new contours intact. Small drains may be placed to help escort excess fluids and blood out of the body, so they do not build up and cause complications. Soreness and discomfort can be well-managed through prescription pain medications provided by the doctor.
