Abdominoplasty at Amelia Aesthetics

Benefits of a Modern Tummy Tuck

At Amelia, a modern tummy tuck also includes Exparel® and waistline lipo at no additional cost.

Removes Excess Skin

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, includes skin removal to target loose skin that can’t be addressed with diet and exercise.

Strengthens Core

Repairs diastasis recti to strengthen and support the core. Abdominal muscle separation is common after pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and aging.

Contours Waistline

At Amelia, we include waistline liposuction to permanently remove fat for the most natural-looking result.

Offers a Drainless Recovery

A drainless recovery means eliminating postoperative surgical drains for a more comfortable recovery.

Abdominoplasty Types

Types of Tummy Tucks

We specialize in four types of tummy tucks: full, mini, extended, and fleur-de-lis. The type of tummy tuck that’s right for you will depend on your unique goals and anatomy.

The full tummy tuck addresses loose skin above and below the navel, reshapes the belly button, and repairs abdominal muscle separation.

Mini Tummy Tuck

A mini tummy tuck addresses skin laxity below the navel but does not address loose skin above the belly button.

Extended Tummy Tuck

An extended tummy tuck is a lot like a full tummy tuck with a slightly longer incision for more skin removal.

Addresses loose skin in both the upper and lower abdomen
Has a longer incision typically extended beyond the hip bones

Includes Exparel® to support pain management

Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck

A fleur-de-lis tummy tuck is most commonly used for significant skin removal in major weight loss patients.

Addresses loose skin in the upper and lower abdomen, plus the sides of the body
Trades a longer horizontal incision and additional vertical incision for the most skin removal
Includes muscle repair to improve core strength and waistline lipo for better shape
Includes Exparel® to support pain management

Modern Tummy Tuck

What is a drainless tummy tuck?

The surgical techniques used in a modern tummy tuck eliminate the need for post-operative drains in most cases. Eliminating post-op drains allows for a shower just two days after surgery and reduces tension on the incision for better healing.

Keep in mind that factors like your anatomy and sometimes details of your procedure, like the amount of liposuction done, play a role in whether or not you’ll have a drain.

Long-Lasting Pain Management

What is Exparel®?

Exparel® is a long-lasting injectable medication given during your procedure to help make the first few days post-op more comfortable. We include Exparel® at no additional cost because we believe supporting you in a faster, more active recovery is the right thing to do.

Abdominal Muscle Separation

What is a diastasis recti?

Diastasis recti is the separation and stretching of the abdominal muscles that result in a loss of core strength and control. Pregnancy, weight loss, weight gain, and even aging cause the muscles to separate and stretch. 
Once the muscles are separated, the only way to truly correct the separation is by surgically bringing the muscles together. Exercise and pelvic work can certainly help bring them closer together, but cannot completely correct diastasis recti. 
Muscle repair is included with a tummy tuck and acts as an internal corset to strengthen the core, relieve lower back pain, and provide additional shape to the torso.

Tummy Tuck Scar Care

Do tummy tuck scars go away?

Abdominoplasty scars take around 12 months post-op to fully heal and when cared for properly can continue to fade for up to two years. Consistent scar care and SPF are so important after your surgery, especially in the first year. Your surgeon and clinical team will be there to guide you on a protocol to help ensure your scars fade and heal their best.
