Tummy Tuck
A firmer, flatter abdomen
Restoring abdominal tone that diet and exercise simply can't achieve
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and repairs separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) — addressing changes that no amount of exercise can reverse. At Surgical Suites of Beverly Hills, abdominoplasty is performed in a private, fully equipped OR with a dedicated surgical team experienced in body contouring.

What is a tummy tuck?
An abdominoplasty removes excess abdominal skin, tightens the underlying muscle fascia, and repositions the navel for a smooth, firm contour. A full tummy tuck uses a hip-to-hip incision; a mini tummy tuck addresses only the lower abdomen through a shorter incision. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2–4 hours. Most patients return home the same day.

FAQs
Common questions about this service and what to expect.
Post-operative follow-up is coordinated through your surgeon's office. Our team ensures you are well-supported throughout recovery.
Cosmetic abdominoplasty is not covered by insurance. If diastasis recti causes functional issues, partial coverage may apply in some cases — your surgeon and insurer can advise.
Tummy tuck at our facility is performed under general anesthesia, administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist.
Stretch marks in the area of skin removed will be eliminated. Stretch marks above the navel may be partially repositioned downward. The procedure does not address stretch marks outside the surgical zone.
Yes — liposuction is frequently performed alongside abdominoplasty to address areas outside the direct excision zone such as the flanks or hips for a more comprehensive contour result.
Yes — a full tummy tuck leaves a horizontal scar low on the abdomen (typically hidden by underwear or swimwear) and a scar around the navel. Scars fade over 12–18 months. Your surgeon will discuss optimal placement at your consultation.
Most patients take 2–3 weeks off work. Patients are instructed to walk slightly bent at the waist for the first 1–2 weeks to reduce tension on the incision. Full activity, including exercise, typically resumes at 6–8 weeks.
A full abdominoplasty addresses the entire abdomen — including muscle repair and navel repositioning — through a hip-to-hip incision. A mini tummy tuck treats only the area below the navel with a shorter incision and no navel repositioning, suited for patients with limited lower abdominal laxity.
