Tummy Tuck: An overview

A tummy tuck in Orlando is the most powerful surgery that I perform. An tummy tuck removes skin from the lower abdomen and tightens the abdominal muscles, which can be stretched by pregnancy. Tummy tuck results are even more impressive when combined with liposuction, a procedure known as lipoabdominoplasty. Not many surgeons perform a lipoabdominoplasty, but it makes all the difference in creating shapes and curves. Adding breast surgery, vaginal surgery, or any other surgery notches your procedure up to a "mommy makeover." But it all starts with the tummy.

As a board-certified surgeon, I focus on transforming my patients’ bodies with tummy tucks, breast augmentations with internal bras, and labiaplasties. My goal is to see my patients radiate with happiness and rave about their outcomes. I am honored to have been recognized for my work, including being named among "America's Best Plastic Surgeons" by Newsweek for three consecutive years and earning a place in the RealSelf Top 100 Doctors for five years running.

Do I need a tummy tuck?

The best candidates for a tummy tuck are patients who have:

  • Loose skin in the abdomen
  • Skin that hangs over a C-section scar
  • Bulging of the tummy muscles
  • An unsightly belly button or umbilical hernia
  • Stretch marks across the lower abdomen

In the majority of cases, these patients are moms who are finished having children, but they may also be women who have lost a considerable amount of weight. Such patients may have had weight loss surgery such as a gastric bypass or lap band procedure.

Major key: Low tummy tuck scar

One of my pet peeves is a high tummy tuck scar. My tummy tuck scars are ALWAYS LOW and hidden underneath the bikini line. When there isn't quite enough skin to remove the previous belly button location or piercing, but the muscle separation goes all the way up the abdomen, a full tummy tuck is required with a short vertical scar at the location of the low midline. This looks like a very short "T" that will peek out above the bikini line.

Major key: Cute belly button

Nothing says tummy tuck like an unattractive belly button. One of the major keys to a good tummy tuck result is a cute belly button. There are several tricks that I use to create a cute belly button, but the end result should be an "innie" with a nice funnel shape and slight hooding of the upper portion. Don't fear a tummy tuck because of an ugly belly button. I will help you get a flat tummy without any evidence of plastic surgery.

Major key: Tummy tuck and lipo!

For me, it's very often a tummy tuck AND liposuction. The lipoabdominoplasty helps to create beautiful curves during surgery. Ever wonder why some surgeons' tummy tucks look flat and square while others have beautiful curves? Most commonly, great curves are from performing liposuction at the same time as a tummy tuck. In my practice, Lipo360 (liposuction around the entire waist) comes standard with every tummy tuck. This is one of the major keys that differentiates my work from that of other surgeons. It's not just about removing skin and tightening the muscles (that's tummy tuck 101), but it's also about creating and accentuating curves.

All about mom. All about the tummy.

A mommy makeover can be anything you want it to be. The center point, however, in most cases, is a tummy tuck. Every tummy tuck has two basic elements: removal of excess skin and tightening (corset) of the abdominal muscles. In that way, most tummy tucks are the same. What makes my tummy tucks different are THREE MAJOR KEYS: a LOW scar, a CUTE belly button, and CURVES. Even though the scar may be long (hip to hip in most cases) with a low scar, no one will be able to see it. Hiding a tummy tuck scar underneath the bikini line is the most critical element that most surgeons miss. Don't get stuck thinking about tattoos or high-waisted shorts to cover up your scar. Keep it super low (lower than a C-section scar!) with Dr. Oppenheimer.

Testimonials

Dr. Oppenheimer made me feel very comfortable.

From the moment that I entered Dr. Oppenheimer’s office, I had a feeling that I was not going to use any other surgeon, and I was right. His entire staff has been kind and understanding, and they answered any questions that I had. Dr. Oppenheimer made me feel very comfortable and gave me a lot of information in such a way that I was able to understand everything. My surgery for breast augmentation was yesterday, and everything went smoothly, and I am recovering nicely. I am extremely satisfied with his services and will recommend him to everyone.
