Tummy Tuck
A Smoother, Firmer Midsection—Tailored to You
Pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and age can stretch the skin and muscles of the abdomen in ways that exercise alone can’t repair. A tummy tuck—formally called abdominoplasty—removes excess skin and fat and tightens the abdominal wall, restoring a smoother, more toned appearance.
At Forsyth Plastic Surgery, our board-certified surgeons take a highly personalized approach, creating natural-looking results that match your anatomy and goals.
Whether you’re looking to restore confidence post-pregnancy, after weight loss, or simply due to changes over time, we’re here to help.

What to Expect
Your Consultation
We begin with a candid conversation and an in-person exam. We’ll assess skin laxity, muscle separation (diastasis recti), and fat distribution. You’ll learn about surgical options, incision placement, and recovery timelines based on your anatomy and goals.
We’ll also discuss whether a mini tummy tuck, full abdominoplasty, or extended version is best for your needs.
Surgery & Recovery
Tummy tuck surgery is performed in our accredited on-site surgery center under general anesthesia.
- Most patients return to light activity in 10–14 days
- Full activity typically resumes by 6 weeks
- A compression garment supports healing, and walking is encouraged early to promote circulation.
- Scars are placed low on the abdomen and fade gradually with care.
This procedure can be life-changing—and we’ll guide you through it with clarity and support.

Common Questions
Will this help with stretch marks?
Yes—especially those below the belly button. Skin in this area is typically removed during
surgery.
Can I combine a tummy tuck with other procedures?
Absolutely. Many patients combine tummy tuck with liposuction or breast procedures (commonly called a Mommy Makeover). We’ll guide you through safe combinations.
How long do results last?
With a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, results can last many years. Aging continues, but the improvement is long-lasting.
What’s the difference between a mini and full tummy tuck?
A mini targets the area below the belly button only; a full tuck addresses the entire abdomen, including muscle repair. We’ll help you determine what’s best for your body.
