Consultation and Preparation
Your abdominoplasty journey begins with a comprehensive surgical consultation. During this appointment, Dr. Forbes carefully evaluates your abdominal structure, skin quality, muscle laxity, and overall health history while discussing your aesthetic goals in detail. This assessment allows for a personalized surgical plan tailored to restore contour and core support. Pre-operative instructions, including medication adjustments, lifestyle guidelines, and preparation for post-surgical care, are provided to ensure optimal safety and readiness.
Anesthesia
A tummy tuck is performed under general anesthesia to ensure complete comfort throughout the procedure.
Time Required
The procedure typically requires approximately 2.5 to 3 hours, depending on the extent of correction.
Surgical Technique
A carefully placed horizontal incision is made along the lower abdomen, discreetly positioned below the bikini line. Through this approach, the underlying abdominal muscles are tightened and repaired to restore firmness and structural support. Excess skin is then removed, and localized fat reduction may be performed to create a smoother, more refined contour. The incision is meticulously closed, and a compression garment is applied to support healing and reduce swelling.
Recovery and Aftercare
Initial recovery typically spans 1–2 weeks, during which swelling, tightness, and mild discomfort are expected. Patients gradually resume light daily activities within this period, while full recovery and final contour refinement develop over 6–8 weeks. Detailed aftercare guidance and scheduled follow-ups with Dr. Forbes ensure proper healing and long-term results.
Dr. Forbes’ Surgical Approach
Dr. Forbes performs tummy tuck surgery with a focus on natural contouring, structural muscle repair, and refined scar placement. Her approach prioritizes restoring abdominal integrity while maintaining feminine balance and proportion. Every procedure is carefully customized to the patient’s anatomy and lifestyle, ensuring results that appear smooth, elegant, and long-lasting.
The cost varies based on the complexity of the procedure and individual goals. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed cost estimate and discuss financing options.
Recovery typically takes 6–8 weeks, with most patients resuming light activities in 1–2 weeks. Swelling and bruising will gradually subside during this period.
As with any surgery, risks include but are not limited to: Infection, scarring, or blood clots. However, these are rare when performed by an experienced surgeon. We take every precaution to ensure your safety and satisfaction.
Scars are placed strategically along the bikini line to make them as discreet as possible. All scars are permanent. With proper care, scars fade significantly over time.
A tummy tuck is not a weight-loss procedure. It’s designed for body contouring by removing excess skin and fat. Ideal candidates are close to their target weight.
Yes! Men who have excess skin or fat around the abdomen due to weight loss or aging can also benefit from a tummy tuck to achieve a flatter, more toned midsection.
