How Is a Tummy Tuck Performed? 

During a tummy tuck, your surgeon makes incisions low on the abdomen and around the belly button to remove excess skin and fat. The abdominal muscles are tightened, and the remaining skin is smoothed for a firmer, flatter appearance. A mini tummy tuck focuses on the lower abdomen, using a shorter horizontal incision and no belly button incision. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia.

What Are the Benefits of a Tummy Tuck? 

A tummy tuck offers more than just aesthetic improvements—it can be a powerful step toward feeling confident, strong, and comfortable in your own skin. Benefits include: 

MODEL

• Removal of loose, excess skin from the abdomen 

• Repair of separated or weakened abdominal muscles 

• Improved contour and firmness of the midsection 

• Enhanced posture and core strength in some cases 

• Easier clothing fit and improved self-image 

Whether you're looking to reverse the effects of pregnancy, weight loss, or aging, abdominoplasty can help restore the streamlined shape you once had—or create the one you’ve always wanted. 

Types of Tummy Tucks

At New Horizons, we offer both full and mini tummy tuck procedures to meet different needs. Your surgeon will recommend the best approach based on your anatomy and goals. 

Full Tummy Tuck

A full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdominal area, removing excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying muscles. It’s ideal for patients with significant skin laxity or abdominal muscle separation, especially after pregnancy or weight loss. 

A mini tummy tuck focuses on the lower abdomen below the belly button. It’s best suited for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity and good muscle tone. This option involves a smaller incision and typically a shorter recovery time. 

Mini Tummy Tuck

During your consultation, your surgeon will explain and help you decide which approach best meets your needs, lifestyle, and desired outcome. 

Is a Tummy Tuck Right for You? 

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

MODEL

• Have loose or sagging skin around the abdomen 

• Struggle with muscle separation (diastasis recti) after pregnancy  

• Are at a stable weight and in good overall health 

• Have finished having children 

• Don’t smoke and are committed to a healthy recovery 

During your consultation, your surgeon will assess your anatomy and goals to determine if a tummy tuck is right for you. 

Combining Procedures: What Is a Mommy Makeover? 

Many women choose to combine a tummy tuck with other body contouring procedures as part of a Mommy Makeover. This customized approach addresses the physical changes that often follow pregnancy and breastfeeding all in a single surgery and recovery period. 

Common procedures performed as part of a Mommy Makeover include: 

MODEL

• Breast augmentation or breast lift  

• Liposuction 

• Tummy tuck  

During your consultation, your surgeon will help you understand your options and develop a plan that’s safe, effective, and aligned with your vision. 

Tummy Tuck & Mommy Makeover FAQ

How long is recovery after a tummy tuck or Mommy Makeover?  

Most patients return to light activity within 2 weeks, with full recovery taking several weeks. If your Mommy Makeover includes multiple procedures—such as a tummy tuck combined with breast surgery or liposuction—recovery may take longer and require more rest initially. Your surgeon will provide detailed aftercare instructions and a personalized recovery timeline to support safe, comfortable healing.
