Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

A tummy tuck is a transformative procedure to remove excess skin and fat while tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles. This popular surgery addresses:

• Loose, sagging skin post-pregnancy or after significant weight loss
• Resistant, stubborn fat deposits
• Weakened abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) that create a persistent bulge
• Excess tissue and stretch marks in the lower abdomen
• Loss of waistline definition due to aging or lifestyle changes

Whether you want to restore your pre-pregnancy figure or complete your weight loss journey with a more contoured silhouette, Dr. Vasisht creates personalized surgical plans that honor your unique body and aesthetic goals.

What Our Patients Say

Susan F 

“I visited Dr. V for a tummy tuck in August 2024 and I could not be happier with the results. I had a large overhang following two big babies and a c-section and a lot of extra skin and I’m thrilled with my results!!! Highly recommend him and his staff to anyone looking for a tummy tuck in the South Jersey area!”

Erica R

“From start to finish, my experience with Dr. Vasisht and the entire team has been nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Vasisht is not only a highly skilled and knowledgeable plastic surgeon but also someone who truly cares about the well-being and satisfaction of their patients.

The results far exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Dr. Vasisht’s attention to detail and commitment to achieving natural-looking results is truly remarkable. My bellybutton looks so amazing.

The staff is equally outstanding – hey have truly changed my life and how I feel in my own skin, I will be forever grateful! My only regret was waiting so long to go for it.”

Antonia B

“I’m pleased with my tummy tuck results, 7 months later and I’m still in aww over my results! Dr. V was very thorough during my consult. I didn’t feel rushed and felt he truly addressed all questions and reservations I had about my procedure.

South Shore Plastic Surgery is the total package, a talented plastic surgeon plus an attentive staff equals an unmatched positive patient care experience. I love my results and I highly recommend South Shore Plastic Surgery.”

Customized Tummy Tuck Options

Every aspect of your tummy tuck is carefully customized to achieve your desired results. During your consultation, Dr. Vasisht will help you navigate these important options:

Full Tummy Tuck: This comprehensive approach addresses the entire abdominal area, from below the breastbone to the pubic region. It is ideal for patients with significant skin laxity, muscle separation or excess fat throughout the abdomen.

Mini Tummy Tuck: Focuses on the lower abdomen below the navel, using a shorter incision. This option works well for patients with minimal excess skin and concerns primarily in the lower abdomen.

Extended Tummy Tuck: Includes the flanks, sides, and the front of the abdomen, providing more comprehensive contouring for patients with significant skin laxity extending to the back.

Additional Enhancements

Liposuction: Often combined with tummy tuck surgery to remove stubborn fat deposits and further refine your contours.

Muscle Repair: Tightening of separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) to create a firmer, flatter abdomen and potentially alleviate back pain or posture issues.

Umbilicoplasty: Repositioning and reshaping the navel for a natural-looking result that complements your new abdominal contour.

• Discuss your aesthetic goals and areas of concern in detail

Procedure Details

Your tummy tuck is an outpatient procedure at our state-of-the-art Surgery Center. Depending on your specific case and comfort needs, the surgery typically takes 2-4 hours under general anesthesia.

Dr. Vasisht makes a horizontal incision along the lower abdomen, typically placed low enough to be concealed by underwear or swimwear. Through this incision, he repairs weakened muscles, removes excess fat and trims away redundant skin before closing with meticulous suturing techniques designed to minimize scarring.

Recovery Process

First 48 Hours: This is typically the most challenging period. You’ll have surgical drains in place and will need to maintain a slightly bent position to reduce tension on your incision.

First Week: Most patients take 1-2 weeks off work. You’ll wear a compression garment to minimize swelling and support healing tissues.

Weeks 2-4: Gradual return to light activities while continuing to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting.

6-8 Weeks: Most restrictions are lifted, though complete healing and final results continue to develop.

Dr. Vasisht provides detailed post-operative instructions and pain management options to ensure a smooth recovery and remains available to address any concerns throughout your healing.

Results Timeline

Immediate: Though initially masked by swelling, you’ll immediately notice the removal of excess skin.

2-4 Weeks: As swelling subsides, your new contours become more apparent.

3-6 Months: Final results emerge as all swelling resolves and tissues settle.

Long-term: Results can last many years with a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle.
