Tummy Tuck Miami (Abdominoplasty)

A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while repairing weakened or separated abdominal muscles. This results in a smoother, firmer midsection and a more contoured waistline.

At Elite Plastic Surgery, we offer a range of tummy tuck techniques tailored to your specific needs:

• Full Tummy Tuck – removes skin and fat from the entire abdomen and tightens muscles.
• Mini Tummy Tuck – targets the lower abdomen for patients with minimal skin laxity.
• Extended Tummy Tuck – addresses loose skin that extends to the hips or lower back.

Tummy tuck surgery is a highly effective procedure, and its benefits are well-documented. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), tummy tucks can dramatically improve both appearance and confidence.

At Elite Plastic Surgery, we specialize in expert tummy tuck procedures, delivering personalized body-contouring results. Dr. Salama provides a safe, customized plan to help you achieve your ideal silhouette.

Consultation and Preparation
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation where Dr. Salama will assess your abdominal structure, discuss your goals, and develop a personalized surgical plan. Pre-op instructions will include guidance on medications, smoking cessation, and lifestyle adjustments.

Surgical Steps

1. Anesthesia: General anesthesia is administered to ensure a comfortable experience.
2. Incision: A horizontal incision is made just above the pubic area. The length depends on the amount of excess skin.
3. Muscle Repair: The underlying abdominal muscles are tightened and sutured to create a firm, flat profile.
4. Skin Removal: Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is repositioned for a smooth contour.
5. Closing the Incision: Sutures are used to close the incision, and the scar is typically well-hidden by underwear or swimwear.

Recovery:

• Most patients return to light activity within 2–4 weeks.
• Full results appear in 3–6 months as swelling subsides.
• Compression garments and drains help manage swelling and shape the abdomen.

We’ll provide detailed post-op instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

Avoid A Tummy Tuck If:

• You do not want abdominal scars since a it requires an abdominal incision along the abdomen
• You are not at your ideal weight and plan on losing weight since you may have additional loose skin after the weight loss
• You plan on having more children and may reverse the results – a tummy tuck tightens the abdominal muscles and pregnancy can detach them
• You smoke or have recently been exposed to second-hand smoke as it decreases blood flow to the body tissue and can result in complications

Where Is the Tummy Tuck Scar Located?

Tummy tuck incisions are typically placed low on the abdomen, just above the pubic area, allowing scars to be easily concealed by underwear or swimwear. Dr. Salama carefully plans incision placement to minimize visibility while achieving optimal contouring results.
