Benefits of a Modern Tummy Tuck
Removes Excess Skin
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, includes skin removal of the abdomen to target loose skin that often can’t be addressed with diet and exercise.
Strengthens Core
Muscle repair to address diastasis recti is often included to strengthen and support the core. Abdominal muscle separation is common after pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and aging.
Contours Waistline
At Amelia, waistline liposuction is often included in the cost to permanently remove fat for the most natural-looking result.
Offers a Drainless Recovery
Often the modern tummy tuck surgical techniques offer a drainless recovery—eliminating post-operative surgical drains for a more comfortable recovery.
Abdominoplasty Types
Types of Tummy Tucks
Amelia specializes 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.
Full Tummy Tuck
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.
Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck
A fleur-de-lis tummy tuck is most commonly used for significant skin removal in major weight loss patients.
Modern Tummy Tuck
What is a drainless tummy tuck?
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.

What is Exparel®?
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 in many cases, cannot completely correct diastasis recti.
Muscle repair is often 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.

Do tummy tuck scars go away?
Abdominoplasty scars typically take around 12 months post-op to heal and when cared for properly can continue to fade for years to come. 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.
