A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) offers a transformative solution for those struggling with loose abdominal skin and weakened muscles that diet and exercise alone cannot fix. Whether you’re recovering from pregnancy, significant weight loss, or the natural effects of aging, our tummy tuck procedure delivers a flatter, firmer abdomen with natural-looking results that help you feel confident in your body again.

At Belle Medical, every abdominoplasty is performed by Dr. Melody Scheefer, an experienced plastic surgeon with expertise in body contouring and aesthetic surgery. Working alongside Medical Director Dr. Steven Angerbauer, Dr. Scheefer combines surgical precision with a personalized, compassionate approach to help patients achieve natural, beautifully sculpted results. Together, they take the time to understand your unique goals, explain each step of the process, answer your questions, and set realistic expectations so you can feel informed and confident from consultation through recovery.

How Tummy Tuck Surgery Works

Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening weakened abdominal muscles underneath. Most patients who benefit from a tummy tuck have experienced sagging skin or a protruding midsection that hasn’t responded to lifestyle changes. The procedure typically involves a low, discreet incision through which excess tissue is removed and muscles are tightened, creating smoother and more natural abdominal contours.

Benefits & Results

Beyond the aesthetic improvements, patients often experience a significant boost in confidence. A tummy tuck doesn’t just change how you look—it changes how you feel. You’ll enjoy wearing fitted clothing without self-consciousness, swimming without concern, and engaging in activities you may have avoided before. Most patients see dramatic improvements in their body shape and proportions, with long-lasting results when combined with a healthy lifestyle.

Ideal Candidates

Tummy tuck candidates are typically those with loose skin after pregnancy or significant weight loss who are emotionally and physically ready for surgery. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, maintain realistic expectations, and are committed to preserving their results. During your consultation, our surgeons will assess your individual anatomy and goals to determine if a tummy tuck is the right choice for you, or if alternative procedures might be beneficial.

Recovery & Timeline

Most patients return to light activities within two weeks, though full recovery typically takes four to six weeks. Initial swelling and bruising fade gradually, with final results becoming visible over the following months as your body heals completely. We provide detailed post-operative instructions and ongoing support to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
