Your Tummy Tuck Experience with Dr. Diaz
Consultation & Body Analysis
Meet with Dr. Diaz for a comprehensive 1-hour body contouring consultation focused on your tummy tuck goals. You’ll talk about any concerns you want to address with the procedure such as excess skin, muscle laxity, and stubborn fat deposits. Take this opportunity to learn all you can about your tummy tuck so you can feel confident heading into the procedure.
We’ll use the revolutionary VECTRA® 3D imaging system to create a detailed surgical plan tailored to your unique shape. This technology helps visualize your potential results for added peace of mind.
Surgery
Your tummy tuck surgery is performed under general anesthesia and supervised by a board-certified anesthesiologist. The procedure typically takes 3-5 hours, during which Dr. Diaz will remove excess skin and fat, repair separated abdominal muscles, and sculpt your new contours.
After surgery, you’ll recover in our private suite until you are ready to head home. We’ll provide you with a comprehensive recovery plan, including care instructions for drains and compression garments. Most patients return to light desk work within 1-2 weeks, with full exercise routines resuming after 4 weeks.

Tummy Tuck FAQ
How long is recovery from a tummy tuck?
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.
How much does a tummy tuck cost?
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.
Will I have a visible scar?
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. We provide detailed scar care instructions and treatments to optimize healing.
Can a tummy tuck repair separated abdominal muscles?
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.
Will my results last?
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 provide permanent improvement to your core.
Can I combine a tummy tuck with other procedures?
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.
When can I exercise after surgery?
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.
Am I a good candidate?
Ideal candidates are at a stable weight with excess skin and/or weakened abdominal muscles that don’t respond to diet and exercise.
What type of anesthesia is used?
Surgery is performed under general anesthesia by a board-certified anesthesiologist who specializes in plastic surgery procedures.
How much weight will I lose?
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.
Will pregnancy affect my results?
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.
