What Is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure for men and women that removes excess abdominal skin and fat. It can also repair separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), a condition often seen in women after pregnancy or in people who have lost a significant amount of weight.

This is more than just flattening your stomach; it’s about restoring core strength that may have been lost after pregnancy or weight loss. By stitching the muscles back together, Dr. Aline Rau can improve your posture, reduce back pain, and make exercises like sit-ups and planks easier.

How the Procedure Works

A tummy tuck is performed under general anesthesia. Depending on your needs and the surgical plan you create with Dr. Aline Rau, it can be performed alone or combined with other procedures, such as liposuction.

The procedure involves a horizontal incision placed low on the abdomen, carefully planned so it can be concealed beneath most underwear and swimwear. After the incision is made, Dr. Aline Rau removes excess skin, then carefully repairs the weakened muscles underneath. This layered approach creates a smoother, firmer contour while restoring core integrity. The remaining skin is gently redraped for a natural, refined result.

Every detail from incision placement to muscle repair is personalized to you, striking a balance between aesthetic goals and the most discreet scarring possible.

What Recovery Looks Like

Your recovery experience is personal, but there are general timelines you can expect:

• About two weeks away from most work or daily activities

• Light walking is encouraged early to support circulation and healing

• Swelling and bruising that improve steadily over several weeks

• Gradual return to exercise as advised by Dr. Aline Rau

At Amavi, we’re committed to attentive follow-up and clear, supportive guidance throughout your recovery. You won’t go through recovery alone. We’re committed to clear guidance, attentive follow-up, and the support you deserve.

You’ll also want to keep in mind that while a tummy tuck delivers lasting changes, future weight fluctuations or pregnancy can affect the results. Our team is here to help you plan for results that align with your long-term vision.
