Before & After

Reclaim Your Confidence with a Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to address loose, excess skin on the tummy, in addition to repairing stretched abdominal muscles, skin laxity, and more. These conditions can come about as a part of the natural aging process or simple genetics. Still, they’re also quite common after a major life event, like pregnancy or significant weight loss.

In any case, Dr. Rosen is here to help. His incredible tummy tuck procedure effectively removes excess skin and fat while repairing your abdominal wall muscles, so you can enjoy a toned and contoured look and all the body confidence that comes along with it. Reach out and set up your consultation to learn more about what Dr. Rosen can do for you today!

Is A Tummy Tuck Right for Me?

During your consultation, Dr. Rosen will help you decide whether or not a tummy tuck is the right choice for you. While the tummy tuck procedure doesn’t preclude or interfere with pregnancy, it’s advised that you wait until you’re not expecting any further children, as pregnancy can interfere with the results. Smoking can lead to poor or delayed healing after surgery; therefore, potential candidates should cease their smoking several weeks before abdominoplasty.

If you are bothered by excess skin and fat on your midsection, you may be a good candidate for a tummy tuck. Candidates should also be:

Close to a healthy body weight
A non-smoker
Unable to slim down tummy with diet/exercise
Not planning future pregnancy

Getting Great Results from Tummy Tuck Surgery

A Tummy Tuck in Bucks County is designed to meet certain aesthetic goals. With optimal results, you can expect:

Tighter, firmer skin
Fewer stretch marks on the tummy
Visible contour of abdominal muscles
A navel without upper hooding
Youthful lower abdomen
A more appealing, curvy silhouette

Customizing Your Tummy Tuck Procedure

There are a number of variations on the tummy tuck that may be right for you, and Dr. Rosen will talk you through your options, helping you pick the procedure that’ll help you to best meet your goals. One of the techniques in practice today is the mini-tummy tuck, a procedure with a limited incision designed to treat minor skin laxity in the abdomen. Another option is lipo-abdominoplasty, where fat is removed in the upper abdomen and flanks.

The Tummy Tuck Procedure: How Abdominoplasty Works

The full tummy tuck procedure requires about two to five hours of operating time. Before your surgery, Dr. Rosen will talk you through incision locations and determine where a scar will be most easily concealed. The incision site will be marked, as well as the areas for liposuction (if necessary) before general anesthesia is administered.

Muscle relaxation may be administered as well to facilitate repair of the abdominal wall. A horizontal incision will be made on your lower abdomen and using sutures, Dr. Rosen will repair your abdominal muscles. Your belly button may be remodeled or relocated, and excess skin is trimmed or re-draped before the incisions are closed using dissolvable sutures.

Tummy Tuck Alternatives

There are alternatives to a tummy tuck in Bucks County that may be appropriate for you, and Dr. Rosen can talk you through your choices during your consultation. If you have lost a significant amount of weight, Dr. Rosen might recommend a procedure called belt lipectomy. If excess tummy skin is the sole problem, a procedure called panniculectomy may be necessary. There are also several variations of the tummy tuck that may be able to meet your specific needs.

Recovering from Your Tummy Tuck

Tummy tuck recovery takes about one to three weeks, and you’ll be wrapped in a gauze dressing after your surgery. An elastic garment will be provided, to minimize swelling and promote skin contraction, and you’ll need to wear it for about six weeks.

Within 12 to 18 hours, you’ll be advised to walk around, with pain medications helping you manage discomfort during this time. If drains are needed to prevent the accumulation of fluid, they’ll likely be removed within 24 hours. Dr. Rosen and his team will talk you through everything you can expect from your recovery period, so you’ll be comfortable and excited to enjoy your incredible results.

Possible Complications of Tummy Tuck Surgery

All cosmetic surgery carries a risk of complications, but choosing a highly experienced surgeon like Dr. Rosen enables you to effectively mitigate your risk for complications. With the tummy tuck, adverse events include but are not limited to hematoma, poor healing and scarring, infection, tissue loss, bleeding, intra-abdominal hypertension, DVT, and pulmonary embolus.

Aftercare is a large part of the tummy tuck healing process, so make sure to ask Dr. Rosen any and all questions so you feel prepared. Scarring is part of the process, but there are many topical products made to help you heal.

I was referred to Dr. Rosen by another medical professional in the area. Within the first 5 minutes of meeting him and his wife Heather (also his nurse) I knew they were the right team to perform my breast augmentation and tummy tuck. They were kind, attentive and super authentic. I felt like I had known them both for years. The care I received pre and post op was really indescribable - other than to say they treated me like family. And my results were better than I could have ever imagined. They changed my life and I am forever grateful.

Tummy Tuck FAQs

How is a tummy tuck performed?

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Rosen makes a horizontal incision in the lower abdomen, typically from hip to hip. Through this incision, he repairs and tightens the abdominal muscles and removes excess skin and fat. The belly button is also repositioned to a more natural location.

Will I have a scar?

Yes. A tummy tuck leaves a permanent scar, but Dr. Rosen places the incision low on the abdomen so that it can be easily concealed by most underwear and swimwear. The scar will fade and flatten over time.

Can a tummy tuck get rid of stretch marks?

A tummy tuck can effectively remove stretch marks that are located on the skin that is excised from the lower abdomen. However, stretch marks above the belly button will remain, though they may be repositioned and appear less noticeable.

How long will it be before I see my final results?

You will see a noticeable change immediately after the surgery, but the final results will emerge gradually. It can take several months for all swelling to subside and for your new, contoured midsection to be fully visible.

How long after giving birth can I get a tummy tuck?

Generally, it's recommended to wait at least six months to a year after giving birth before getting a tummy tuck. This allows your body to fully recover, your weight to stabilize, and any post-pregnancy changes to your skin and abdominal muscles to settle. It's also important that you are not planning any future pregnancies.
