TUMMY TUCK IN NYC
TUMMY TUCK IN NEW YORK CITY
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening weakened abdominal muscles. It’s ideal for patients who have lost significant weight or experienced changes from pregnancy and want a flatter, firmer midsection. At New Look New Life, our surgeons customize each tummy tuck to restore confidence and contour.
What is a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the underlying muscles for a flatter, firmer midsection.
Who is a good candidate for a tummy tuck after weight loss?
Ideal candidates are individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight and are left with loose, hanging abdominal skin or weakened abdominal muscles that can’t be improved through exercise alone.
Will a tummy tuck help me lose more weight?
A tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure, but it can enhance your body shape after major weight loss by removing excess skin and improving core strength and posture.
Can I combine a tummy tuck with other procedures?
Yes, many patients combine a tummy tuck with liposuction, breast surgery, or lower body lifts as part of a post-weight loss or mommy makeover plan.
What is recovery like after a tummy tuck?
Most patients take about 2–4 weeks off work to recover. You’ll need to avoid strenuous activity for 4–6 weeks and wear a compression garment to help reduce swelling.
Will I have a scar after a tummy tuck?
Yes, there will be a scar along the lower abdomen, usually hidden below the bikini line. Our surgeons place incisions strategically for the most discreet results possible.
How long do tummy tuck results last?
Results are long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Skin and muscle won’t stretch back unless there’s major weight fluctuation or pregnancy.
Is a tummy tuck covered by insurance after weight loss?
In most cases, it’s considered cosmetic and not covered. However, in rare cases involving skin irritation or medical concerns, partial coverage may be available—our team can guide you through the process.
Why choose New Look New Life for my tummy tuck?
Our board-certified surgeons specialize in post-weight loss body contouring and provide personalized care with multiple follow-ups to ensure safe healing and natural-looking results.
