Pregnancy, weight loss, or just the effects of aging can leave you with sagging skin and accumulated fat around your abdomen. No amount of diet or exercise will tighten your loose skin, but you can regain your flat belly with a tummy tuck! 

It’s normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and soreness after a tummy tuck. Your team will review your pain management options and ensure your comfort. Discomfort improves significantly after the first week. However, each person’s recovery experience is unique. 

The cost of a tummy tuck varies widely depending on many factors, but the procedure can be financed for as low as $462/month over 36 months. Interest-free financing options are available and your monthly total will depend on your credit worthiness, number of months financed, and the exact total of the treatment.

Factors that affect the cost of your tummy tuck include:

• Your surgeon’s skill and experience
• The procedures included
• Anesthesia and other associated expenses

We recommend a consultation to discuss your treatment goals and provide you with a more accurate estimate.

Most people can get back to work in one to two weeks after surgery. Swelling and discomfort will improve after the first few days. You will have a surgical garment to wear that minimizes swelling and supports the area while it heals. Your surgeon will usually allow you to go back to most of your usual activities in four to six weeks.

Each tummy tuck is unique. The types of incisions used depend on your needs. Dr. Waltzman will explain the details of your surgery and where you can expect to have scars afterward. A tummy tuck scar usually runs across the lower abdomen, but its length can vary. 

Your tummy tuck results can last a lifetime if you maintain a consistent weight. Your skin can still stretch if you gain a significant amount of weight or become pregnant again. We recommend a tummy tuck for those who have finished growing their families.
