Tummy Tuck In Seattle

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgery that is done for aesthetic purposes to remove excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles. It can create a smoother, firmer stomach and improve body contours after pregnancy or significant weight loss and when diet and exercise alone are not enough.

Dr. George Min is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery at Newvue Plastic Surgery and offers tummy tucks in Bellevue, Kirkland, and the surrounding areas in Seattle, WA.

What Is A Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck is often included in a mommy makeover, and helps to repair torn or damaged abdominal muscles, removes and tightens excess skin, and often uses liposuction to remove excess fat. It is designed to restore your body to the way it was before pregnancy or a significant loss of weight.

Dr. Min uses his expertise and skill to help patients achieve a firmer, more contoured abdominal area with results that look natural and are long-lasting with healthy lifestyle habits.

Dr. Min has over two decades of experience and offers tummy tucks, mini tummy tucks, and post-bariatric tummy tucks in Seattle, Bellevue, and Kirkland using the most modern techniques to help tighten and tone your abdominal area.

How Tummy Tuck Surgery Works

A tummy tuck is normally done as an outpatient procedure and usually takes between two and four hours, depending on how complex the surgery is. It is most often done under general anesthesia to keep you comfortable. The usual steps of the surgery include the following:

1

Anesthesia

Anesthesia is administered.

2

Incisions

An incision is created in the lower abdomen, excess skin is removed and sometimes liposuction removes unwanted fat.

3

Muscle repair

Abdominal muscles are tightened.

4

Skin repositioning

The remaining skin is then repositioned to be smoother and flatter.

5

Closure

The incisions are carefully closed, and a compression garment is applied to help with swelling and promote healing.

6

Discharge

After a short monitoring period, you are discharged to go home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a good candidate for a tummy tuck?

Candidates for a tummy tuck should be close to their ideal weight and normally have loose skin, excess fat, and weakened abdominal muscles that can occur after weight loss or pregnancy.

Will I have a scar after a tummy tuck?

Yes, you can expect to have a scar low on your abdomen, but it is usually placed where it will be hidden under clothing like a bathing suit or underwear.

What can a tummy tuck not do?

A tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure and works best for patients who are already close to their ideal weight.

Can a tummy tuck get rid of stretch marks?

A tummy tuck cannot always fully eliminate stretch marks, but sometimes they can be improved or removed if they are on the skin that is taken off.

How long do the results of a tummy tuck last?

The results of your tummy tuck can be long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight and live a healthy lifestyle.

Can I get pregnant after a tummy tuck?

Yes. You can become pregnant after a tummy tuck, but it can affect your results, so many patients choose to wait to undergo their surgery until they are done having children.
