Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) in Burlington
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) surgically tightens abdominal muscles, removes excess skin and refines the waistline to restore a smoother, firmer midsection. Performed with attention to natural contours and scar-minimizing technique, our board-supervised approach treats diastasis (separated muscles), post-pregnancy changes, and weight-loss–related laxity for durable, natural-looking results.
Who this is for
Ideal for adults with separated abdominal muscles, loose skin after pregnancy or weight loss, or stubborn lower-abdominal tissue that won’t respond to diet and exercise.
What to expect
Your consultation includes a focused exam, discussion of mini vs. full abdominoplasty, and a personalized surgical plan. Procedures typically include muscle plication, removal of excess skin, and scar-smart closure; expect 1–2 weeks of limited activity and a staged return to full exercise over several weeks. We provide clear pre-op instructions, pain management, and post-op follow-up to support a safe recovery and the best aesthetic outcome.

Here are the most common questions we hear about Labiaplasty in Burlington
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) surgically tightens the abdominal muscles, removes excess skin, and sculpts the waistline to produce a firmer, flatter midsection. Techniques range from mini to full abdominoplasty depending on your goals and anatomy.
Good candidates are adults with loose abdominal skin, separated abdominal muscles (diastasis), or persistent lower-abdominal fullness after pregnancy or weight loss. A consultation in Burlington evaluates health, goals, and the safest surgical plan.
A mini tummy tuck targets the area below the belly button with a smaller incision and shorter recovery; a full tummy tuck treats the entire abdomen, repairs diastasis, and typically produces more dramatic contouring.
Procedures typically last 2–4 hours depending on complexity. Most abdominoplasties are performed under general anesthesia; your surgeon will recommend the safest option for your case.
Expect initial rest and limited activity for 1–2 weeks, return to light work within 2–4 weeks, and a gradual return to full exercise over 6–12 weeks. Swelling and numbness may persist for months as tissues settle.
Abdominoplasty removes skin in the treated area, so stretch marks located on the excised skin (usually lower abdomen) may be eliminated or improved; stretch marks outside the excised zone will remain.
Scars are usually placed low on the abdomen, hidden under underwear or bikini lines. With scar-smart closures and proper aftercare, scars typically fade over time but will be permanent—your surgeon will discuss placement for the best cosmetic result.
Prepare by stopping smoking, optimizing nutrition, and arranging help at home for the first few days. Follow your surgeon’s medication and fasting instructions, organize comfortable recovery clothing, and plan time off work and childcare as needed. Bring questions and any medical records to your pre-op visit.
Results are long-lasting when combined with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Aging continues, but muscle repair and skin removal produce durable contour improvements for many years.
Cost varies by technique, extent, and facility. Cosmetic tummy tucks are generally out-of-pocket; if the procedure addresses functional issues (e.g., severe diastasis causing medical problems), partial coverage may be possible—confirm with your insurer and discuss specifics at consultation.
