Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying abdominal muscles. This comprehensive approach creates a flatter, more toned midsection and can significantly improve core strength and posture.
For patients with significant excess skin and muscle separation, a full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdominal area from the ribcage to the pubic region. This procedure removes maximum skin, repairs muscle separation, and creates dramatic, natural-looking results.
This is designed for patients who need less excess skin, less bulging of abdominal muscles, and less excess fat. The length of the scar is shorter and can be hidden within the pubic area. The mini tummy tuck offers excellent results with a shorter incision and faster recovery time.
For patients who have lost significant weight or have excess skin extending to the flanks, an extended tummy tuck addresses the abdomen and sides for comprehensive body contouring and complete transformation.

Tummy tuck surgery is ideal for individuals seeking to address excess abdominal skin, weakened muscles, and stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. Whether addressing post-pregnancy changes or weight loss effects, this procedure can provide transformative benefits. Here’s what makes a good candidate for tummy tuck surgery
Tummy tuck surgery is perfect for those experiencing:
Good candidates typically have:
Consider tummy tuck surgery if you:
Most patients return to work after 1 week, depending on their job requirements. Patients who work remotely can start sooner. Initial swelling peaks around day 3-4 and significantly improves within the first couple of weeks. While you’ll see immediate improvements in your contour, final results are realized over the first 2-3 months as swelling resolves completely.
Although the cost of the procedure depends on several factors, including the patient’s unique needs, combination of treatments, and desired results, tummy tucks typically start at $18,500. During your consultation with Dr. Diaz, you will review your treatment together and arrive at a price range that fits your needs.
While a tummy tuck requires an incision, Dr. Diaz places it low in the pubic area, where it can be concealed by most clothing and swimwear. A mini tummy tuck can be done with a very short scar. We provide detailed scar care instructions and treatments to optimize healing and minimize visibility.
Yes, repairing separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) is a key component of most tummy tucks. This repair not only flattens the abdomen and reduces the waist, but it can also help with core strength and back pain.
Tummy tuck results are long-lasting when maintained with a healthy lifestyle. While natural aging continues, the removal of excess skin and repair of muscles provides permanent improvement to your core and abdominal contour.
Yes, tummy tucks are often combined with liposuction or as part of a mommy makeover. We’ll discuss which combinations might benefit you during your consultation while maintaining safety as the top priority.
Light walking is encouraged immediately after surgery. Most patients can resume low-impact exercise at 4 weeks and full activity by 6-8 weeks, following Dr. Diaz’s specific guidelines for optimal healing.
Ideal candidates are at a stable weight with excess skin and/or weakened abdominal muscles that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Dr. Diaz will evaluate your specific situation during your consultation.
A tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure, but rather a body contouring surgery. While you may lose a few pounds from removed tissue, the primary goal is improved shape and contour rather than weight reduction.
We recommend waiting until you’re finished having children before getting a tummy tuck, as pregnancy can separate repaired muscles and stretch skin. However, if you do become pregnant, the procedure is safe and can be revised if needed.
