Tummy TuckAchieving a firmer, flatter abdomen
A tummy tuck can be performed to remove excess skin and fat from the midsection while simultaneously tightening the rectus abdominis muscles and repositioning the navel in a more youthful-looking location. The plastic surgery in New Jersey offers significant advantages for patients who have experienced changes in the physique due to aging, pregnancy, or massive weight loss.
What A Tummy Tuck Can 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 and create a sculpted and restored abdomen.
- 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
During traditional (or “standard”) abdominoplasty, Dr. Parakh removes all excess skin and fat from the abdomen through a low transverse incision made below the bikini line. The length of the incision will depend on the degree of skin laxity. The belly button is detached from the skin, allowing complete re-draping of the abdominal skin. Separated muscles are tightened and sutured in place, creating a permanent “internal corset.” If there is a small hernia, it is repaired at the same time. This technique is the gold standard for the abdominoplasty procedure, as it provides complete correction and a “washboard” abdomen. As part of this technique, Dr. Parakh also performs liposuction of the flanks and waist region for comprehensive contouring.
Mini Abdominoplasty
With the mini abdominoplasty (“mini tummy tuck”) procedure, only a limited amount of abdominal skin and fat is removed from the area below the belly button. The navel is not detached, and the muscle above the belly button is not repaired. This procedure is ideal for patients who do not suffer from excess skin or fat above the belly button.
Vertical Abdominoplasty
The vertical abdominoplasty (fleur-de-lis or vertical tummy tuck”) procedure is reserved for patients who have undergone massive weight loss and therefore struggle with excess skin both vertically and horizontally. In addition to the low bikini line transverse scar, another incision is made that extends from below the breast midline to the pubic area. If a patient has excess skin extending to the back, they may require a lower body lift, in which a circumferential incision is made, and the entire torso is addressed.
