What is a Tummy Tuck?

Our skilled surgeons perform a tummy tuck procedure that revitalizes your abdominal region. We achieve a toned and flat appearance by removing excess skin and fat and repairing underlying muscle structures. Our top priority is to use advanced and minimally invasive abdominoplasty techniques to guarantee optimal patient results.

Is a Tummy Tuck for You?

You might qualify for stomach fat surgery if you're unhappy with excess fat and sagging skin around your abdomen. Despite following a healthy diet and exercising regularly, some people have difficulty getting rid of a flabby tummy.

A tummy tuck can help with the following issues:

  • Loose, sagging skin that remains after significant weight loss
  • Stretched, loose skin and stretch marks in the tummy area following pregnancy
  • Loss of natural skin elasticity, resulting in stretched and sagging tummy skin
  • Separated abdominal muscles that create a "double tummy" appearance
  • A protruding belly

In November Dr. Lehrman and his magical staff changed my life after losing nearly two hundred pounds along my journey. I'm so grateful I took the leap and scheduled a consultation for skin removal surgery to see what my results of hard work looked like without a bunch of stretched out skin. Every single time I go for an appointment or any communication with the ladies has been so incredibly consistent an...

Sara Steik, Google Plastic Surgery, Dr. Lehrman

I had my mommy makeover with Dr. Obi and couldn’t be happier! The experience has been amazing and surprisingly painless. He explained everything thoroughly, made me feel safe, and even personally called to answer my questions. The Athenix team was warm and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Obi for anyone considering a mommy makeover or other procedure!

B.B., Google Mommy Makeover, Dr. Obi

Dr. Sparks is amazing! After losing 65lbs, I had excess skin and was nervous about a tummy tuck. Dr. Sparks made me feel comfortable and confident during my consult. The recovery was smooth thanks to her excellent pain control regimen. I was up and moving in just a few days! If you’re considering this procedure, I highly recommend scheduling a consult with Dr. Sparks—you won’t regret it...

In my 40s after breastfeeding, I had a mastopexy with fat transfer at Athenix, and it was the best decision ever!

Andrea Clink, Google Mommy Makeover, Dr. Lehrman

My journey began 4/6/2023 with my gastric sleeve to lose weight. With weight loss came saggy skin. So, long story short, I did 2 consultations. One being with Dr Lehrman on 11/12/2025. I wanted a tummy tuck, liposuction and fat transfer to my butt. One of the things I loved about Dr Lehrman was he looks out for your well being. My tummy tuck was going to be a Fleur de Lis, which is a cut up the middle of...

Yesenia Soberanes, Google Tummy Tuck, Dr. Lehrman

This was my first ever surgery and I received a breast augmentation and left all the final decisions and trust into Dr. Perez and he tailored every detail to fit my body very well!

Janis B., Google Plastic Surgery, Dr. Sweeney

I could not be happier! Dr. Lehrman performed my breast reduction and completely changed my life! By far the best decision I’ve ever made, and I’m so glad I chose Dr. Lehrman!

Emily Curnutte, Google Breast Procedures, Dr. Lehrman

From the very first consult to my 3 week post appointment I have never felt so validated. I had a mommy makeover with a different surgeon about three years ago and had complications with my breast implants. The previous surgeon made me feel like I was unimportant and the issue had everything to do with me doing something wrong rather than wanting to step up and give options help. Dr. Lehrman and his crew...

The day of surgery and recovery process were much smoother than I anticipa...

Monica Munos, Google Body Lift, Dr. Lehrman

He did amazing work and is v...

How it Works

Our team of proficient specialists specializing in body contouring techniques keep themselves updated with the latest developments and select the most appropriate procedure for your specific anatomy and desired results. We customize the anesthesia plan to your treatment, prioritizing your safety and comfort with our advanced surgical suites and stringent safety protocols.

Traditional Tummy Tuck

In a traditional tummy tuck, the surgeon makes a horizontal incision on the lower part of the abdomen. This incision repairs weakened abdominal muscles and removes excess skin, resulting in a more defined waistline and a flatter appearance.

Mini Tummy Tuck

The mini tummy tuck, or partial abdominoplasty, is a less invasive procedure that addresses minor skin and muscle laxity in the lower abdomen. This technique involves a smaller incision and offers a shorter recovery than a full tummy tuck.

Drainless Tummy Tuck

The drainless abdominoplasty is a modified version of the traditional tummy tuck designed to eliminate the need for post-operative drainage tubes. This is achieved through specialized sutures and techniques that minimize fluid accumulation, resulting in a potentially more comfortable recovery for the patient.

Extended Tummy Tuck

This sophisticated surgical technique combines the traditional tummy tuck with other contouring procedures. It’s designed to address excess skin and fat in the abdominal region and extends to the sides and lower back, providing comprehensive body sculpting for the patient.

Fleur-de-Lis Abdominoplasty

Individuals with significant excess skin, particularly after massive weight loss, may require a more comprehensive body contouring solution. The fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty is an advanced tummy tuck technique that utilizes both vertical and horizontal incisions to address excess skin more effectively.

360 Body Lift

The 360 body lift, also referred to as a circumferential abdominoplasty or lower body lift, is a procedure that targets excess skin and fat not only in the front abdominal area but also in the sides and lower back. This comprehensive approach results in a more toned and contoured appearance throughout the entire midsection.

Your Recovery Process

After undergoing a tummy tuck in Bellevue, the recovery period may vary based on the technique used. It is crucial to follow the post-operative instructions given by your surgeon attentively. During the first week, patients may experience swelling and discomfort, which gradually improves over time. While light activity can be resumed within a few weeks, it may take a longer time to engage in strenuous exercise. Typically, complete recovery takes several months, with the maturation of scars continuing over time.

Firm, Smooth Results

Individuals who undergo tummy tuck surgery often report feeling more confident and satisfied with their bodies, as they can immediately notice a firmer and more toned abdomen. Although swelling may take some time to subside and scars may fade, the final outcomes usually become more noticeable after a few months. To sustain improved abdominal contours, it is crucial to lead a healthy lifestyle.
