Clear answers about the tummy tuck, how it removes loose skin, how it differs from liposuction, and what recovery really looks like.
Good candidates have loose abdominal skin and stubborn fat, often after pregnancy or weight loss. A private consultation with Dr. Schneider is the best way to be sure.
A tummy tuck removes loose skin and stubborn fat and tightens the core muscles for a flatter, firmer midsection. It addresses what diet and exercise often cannot fix on their own.
Most patients take a couple of weeks before resuming light activity, with fuller activity over several weeks. Dr. Schneider provides clear guidance and personal follow-up throughout.
Liposuction removes stubborn fat only. A tummy tuck also removes loose skin and tightens core muscles. Dr. Schneider will recommend which fits your body, or whether to combine them.
A tummy tuck removes excess hanging skin and tightens separated core muscles, which is why it can restore firmness that exercise alone cannot. Dr. Schneider tailors the approach to your body.
A tummy tuck does leave a scar, typically low along the bikini line where it can be hidden. Dr. Schneider places and plans it carefully so it heals as discreetly as possible.
