Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) in Vancouver

What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to create a flatter, more toned abdomen by removing excess skin and fat while tightening the abdominal muscles. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging, which can lead to loose skin and weakened abdominal muscles. At our Vancouver clinic, we specialize in personalized tummy tuck procedures tailored to your unique goals and body type.

Benefits of Tummy Tuck Surgery 

  • Removes excess skin and fat for a smoother, more contoured abdomen.
  • Repairs and tightens abdominal muscles weakened by pregnancy or weight fluctuations.
  • Boosts self-confidence by achieving a more youthful, toned appearance.
  • Enhances posture by improving core strength and stability.
  • Provides long-lasting results with a maintained healthy lifestyle. 

Who is a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

You may be a good candidate for a tummy tuck if:

  • You have loose or sagging skin around the abdomen.
  • Your abdominal muscles are separated or weakened.
  • You are near your ideal weight and in good overall health.
  • You have realistic expectations about the outcomes.
  • You are not planning future pregnancies, as this can affect the results. 

The Tummy Tuck Procedure

Consultation and Preparation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, where our skilled plastic surgeons discuss your goals, evaluate your medical history, and determine the best approach for your procedure. Pre-operative instructions, such as avoiding certain medications and arranging for post-surgery care, will be provided to ensure you are fully prepared.

Surgical Steps 

  1. Anesthesia: 
    The procedure begins with general anesthesia to ensure comfort.
  2. Incision: 
    A horizontal incision is made along the lower abdomen, just above the pubic area.
  3. Muscle Repair: 
    The abdominal muscles are tightened and repaired to restore core strength.
  4. Excess Skin Removal: 
    Loose skin is trimmed, and any excess fat is removed for a smooth contour.
  5. Closure: 
    The incisions are closed with sutures, and a compression garment is applied to support healing. 

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients can return to light activities within 1–2 weeks, with full recovery taking up to 6–8 weeks. Swelling and discomfort are common initially but subside as healing progresses. Detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments will ensure optimal recovery and results.
