Explore the Right Tummy Tuck for Your Body
Tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening weakened muscles. This procedure creates a flatter, more toned midsection, boosting both appearance and confidence.
At Dr. Stan Plastic Surgery, we offer several tummy tuck techniques, each tailored to your unique needs. Whether you're addressing loose skin, stretch marks, or unwanted fat, Dr. Stan customizes every procedure to support your aesthetic goals.
Full Tummy Tuck
A full tummy tuck treats the entire midsection by removing loose skin, tightening muscles, and repositioning the belly button. Ideal for those with major changes from pregnancy or weight loss, it delivers long-lasting, sculpted results.
Mini Tummy Tuck
Targeting only the lower abdomen, a mini tummy tuck smooths and tightens below the belly button with minimal incisions and no need for navel repositioning. It’s best for those with mild skin laxity or a small lower belly bulge.
Extended Tummy Tuck
This technique addresses the abdomen, waist, and flanks. It’s ideal for patients with significant skin looseness from major weight loss or pregnancy, offering dramatic contouring and an enhanced waistline.
Drainless Tummy Tuck
A drainless tummy tuck uses internal sutures to avoid post-op drains, resulting in less discomfort and easier recovery. Often paired with liposuction, it provides smooth contouring and lower risk of fluid buildup.

What a Tummy Tuck Procedure Entails
Your tummy tuck begins under general anesthesia for comfort. Dr. Stan makes a low horizontal incision just above the pubic area to minimize visibility. The goal is to remove excess skin, tighten abdominal muscles, and create a firmer, more defined midsection.
Separated muscles are repaired, and liposuction may be used to enhance contour. In some cases, combining procedures helps refine the final outcome.
If needed, the belly button is repositioned for a natural look. Once the muscles are tightened and skin smoothed, the incision is closed with sutures, and a compression garment is applied to support recovery. Proper aftercare is essential for healing and optimal results.
What to Expect During Your Tummy Tuck Journey
You can expect some swelling, tightness, and mild discomfort in the first few weeks following your tummy tuck procedure, which gradually improves as your body heals. Dr. Stan provides detailed post-operative instructions, including wearing a compression garment for up to six weeks to reduce swelling and support your new contours.
Most patients in Houston resume light activities within two to four weeks, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for six to eight weeks to ensure proper healing and long-lasting results. Ready to book? Contact us today.
Your Most Common Questions About Tummy Tucks, Explained
What Is the Recovery Time for a Tummy Tuck?
Most patients recover enough to resume light activities within two to four weeks, while full healing, including the ability to exercise, typically takes six to eight weeks. Wearing a compression garment for up to six weeks helps reduce swelling and supports the healing process for the best results.
Is a Tummy Tuck a Substitute for Weight Loss?
A tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure but a body contouring surgery that removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles. Ideal candidates should be at or near their goal weight, as the tummy tuck surgery is intended to enhance body shape rather than reduce overall weight.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck Procedure?
You may be a good candidate if you have excess skin or weak abdominal muscles that diet and exercise cannot improve and are in good overall health with a stable weight. A tummy tuck is not recommended for individuals who are significantly overweight or planning future pregnancies, as that can affect long-term results.
