A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess abdominal skin and fat while tightening weakened or separated muscles. Miami surgeons offer customized approaches including mini, full, and extended tummy tucks based on your anatomy and goals.Surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically lasts two to four hours. Most patients go home the same day. Expect swelling, tightness, and limited mobility during the first one to two weeks. Light activity resumes gradually, with full activity typically allowed after six to eight weeks. Final contour continues to refine over several months.
