abdominoplasty
(tummy tuck)
a sculpted contour for renewed confidence
abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to create a flatter, firmer abdominal profile. this is achieved by removing excess skin and fat, and tightening the underlying abdominal muscles that may have become weakened or separated due to factors like significant weight fluctuations, aging, or pregnancy. the result is a smoother, more toned midsection that can significantly enhance body contour and boost self-esteem.
how abdominoplasty works
Customized
the journey begins with a detailed consultation at dose aesthetics in bowling green, ohio. the surgeon will assess your overall health, the amount of excess skin and fat, and the condition of your abdominal muscles. they will discuss your aesthetic goals and determine the most appropriate type of abdominoplasty (full, mini, or circumferential).
the procedure is performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery.
a horizontal incision is made just above the pubic area, extending from hip to hip. a second, smaller incision may be made around the naval (belly button) for a full abdominoplasty.
the surgeon tightens the separated or weakened underlying abdominal muscles (rectus abdominis) by pulling them together and suturing them into a firmer position. this creates a stronger, flatter abdominal wall.
excess skin and fat are meticulously pulled down and trimmed away. the remaining skin is then redraped over the newly contoured abdomen.
in a full abdominoplasty, the navel is repositioned to a natural-looking location on the newly tightened abdominal skin.
the incisions are closed with sutures, and drains may be placed temporarily beneath the skin to prevent fluid buildup.
is abdominoplasty right for you?
abdominoplasty is generally ideal for healthy individuals who are at a stable weight but are bothered by excess abdominal skin, fat, and weakened muscles that do not respond to diet and exercise. this often includes:
- women with multiple pregnancies who have stretched abdominal muscles and skin.
- individuals who have experienced significant weight loss and are left with loose, hanging skin around the abdomen.
- people seeking to improve their overall body contour and achieve a firmer midsection.
abdominoplasty is not a substitute for weight loss. candidates should be close to their ideal body weight. it is generally not recommended for individuals who:
- plan to become pregnant in the future (pregnancy can compromise the results).
- plan to lose a significant amount of weight.
- have severe chronic medical conditions or an unstable psychological state.
- smoke (smoking significantly increases surgical risks and impairs healing).

treatment experience
the procedure typically takes between two to four hours, depending on the extent of the correction needed. following the surgery, you will spend time in a recovery area before being released home with a responsible adult. the team at dose aesthetics will provide comprehensive post-operative instructions.
recovery and results
- initial recovery: you will experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which is managed with prescribed medication. compression garments must be worn to support the abdomen and minimize swelling. drains, if used, are typically removed within a week.
- downtime: most patients require 1 to 2 weeks off from work. strenuous activities and heavy lifting must be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks. you will be advised to walk lightly soon after the procedure to promote circulation.
- results: while results are immediate, the final contoured shape will become more apparent as swelling subsides over several weeks to months. the incision line will leave a scar, which will fade and flatten over time. the results are considered permanent, provided you maintain a stable weight.
