What Can A Tummy Tuck Achieve?
Pregnancy and/or weight fluctuations can result in excess abdominal skin and fat, stretch marks, and weakened, separated abdominal muscles. An abdominoplasty can reverse these changes, creating a smooth contour and a sculpted midsection or restored abdomen and enhancing hourglass definition.
- Removes loose, sagging skin in the midsection
- Tightens remaining skin on the stomach
- Removes fat deposits
- Restores weakened or separated muscles
- Improves the appearance of a C-section scar
- Boosts self-image and confidence

The Three Basic Types Of Abdominoplasties
Traditional Abdominoplasty
(Gold Standard)
Dr. Parakh removes excess skin and fat through a low transverse incision below the bikini line. Separated muscles are repaired using a customized multilayer suture technique (serving as an internal corset), and the belly button is artistically reframed. Liposuction of the waist and flanks is routinely combined to create a seamless 360° torso contour.
Mini Abdominoplasty & Umbilical Float
Ideal for patients with skin laxity confined below the belly button. For thin patients with muscle separation but minimal extra skin, Dr. Parakh can perform a mini-tummy tuck with an umbilical float—repairing the full muscle wall without placing a new scar around the navel.
Vertical & Extended Abdominoplasty
For patients who have experienced massive weight loss, laxity often extends vertically and horizontally. Dr. Parakh utilizes vertical (fleur-de-lis) or extended incisions that wrap around the flanks to prevent skin bunching at the hips. When laxity extends entirely to the lower back, a lower body lift may be recommended.

Tummy Tuck FAQs

Will I have visible scars after a tummy tuck?

Can a tummy tuck repair diastasis recti?
Can I have a tummy tuck if I’ve had a C-section?
Will I lose weight from a tummy tuck?
What is the difference between a full tummy tuck and a mini tummy tuck?
A full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdominal area, while a mini tummy tuck focuses on the lower abdomen below the navel.
Will I have visible scars after a tummy tuck?
Scarring is inevitable with surgery, but plastic surgeons strive to minimize and conceal incisions, typically placing them low on the abdomen.
Will there be drains after a tummy tuck?
Drains are often used temporarily to remove excess fluid buildup, but their necessity may vary depending on the surgical technique and surgeon's preference.
Is a tummy tuck covered by insurance?
Tummy tucks are usually considered elective cosmetic procedures and are not covered by insurance.
Can a tummy tuck repair diastasis recti?
Yes, most full tummy tucks include tightening of the abdominal muscles to correct diastasis recti, a condition where the abdominal muscles separate due to pregnancy or weight fluctuations.
Can I have a tummy tuck if I’ve had a C-section?
Yes, a tummy tuck is often performed after C-sections. In many cases, the tummy tuck incision can replace the C-section scar, resulting in a smoother, more aesthetically pleasing lower abdomen.
Will I lose weight from a tummy tuck?
While a tummy tuck can result in the removal of a few pounds of skin and fat, it is not a weight-loss procedure. It's best suited for body contouring rather than significant weight reduction.
