Tummy Tuck
The traditional tummy tuck is designed to flatten and contour the abdomen. It involves an incision that extends from hip-to-hip, along with a cut around the naval. It addresses loose skin particularly when you have an overhang. It also involves repairing the muscle separation and repositions the belly button. It’s commonly performed due to pregnancy, weight loss and age-related changes to the abdominal area. Dr. Griffin commonly performs tummy tucks in combination with other procedures.

Procedure Overview
A tummy tuck addresses loose skin, stretched muscles, and stubborn fat that often remain even with diet and exercise. By tightening the abdominal wall and removing excess tissue, the procedure restores a flatter, more toned appearance.
Your tummy tuck consultation
During your consultation, Dr. Griffin will examine your abdominal area, discuss your medical history, and go over your goals.

What to expect
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Griffin repairs and tightens the abdominal muscles, removes extra skin, and contours the area for a smooth, natural result.

Tummy Tuck FAQs
Below are clear answers to common questions patients have about tummy tuck surgery.
Is a tummy tuck only for people who have had children?
No. While it’s common after pregnancy, anyone with loose skin, muscle separation, or stubborn abdominal tissue may benefit.
Will a tummy tuck help with stretch marks?
If stretch marks are located on the skin being removed, they will be eliminated. Others may improve slightly but not completely disappear.
How long is the recovery period?
Most patients return to light activity in 1–2 weeks and resume normal routines gradually. Full results continue developing over several months.
Will there be a visible scar?
Yes, but it’s placed low on the abdomen so it can typically be concealed under clothing and swimwear. Scars soften and fade significantly over time.
Does a tummy tuck include liposuction?
Liposuction can be added to enhance the contour, especially around the flanks or upper abdomen. Dr. Griffin will discuss whether it’s recommended for your goals.
