Are You A Good Tummy Tuck Candidate?

If you’re frustrated with loose skin, separated abdominal muscles, or stubborn fat that won’t respond to diet or exercise, a tummy tuck can give you the smoother, flatter midsection you’ve always wanted.

A tummy tuck may be right for you if:

• You have loose or sagging abdominal skin after pregnancy or weight loss
• You have separated or weakened abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
• You’re at or near your goal weight
• You’re in good overall health
• You want a flatter, firmer midsection

A tummy tuck may not be right for you if:

• You’re planning major weight changes in the future
• You plan to become pregnant in the future
• You have uncontrolled medical conditions that increase surgical risk
• You’re looking for a weight loss procedure rather than body contouring

During your consultation, Dr. Sterling will discuss your goals and medical history to determine whether a tummy tuck is the right option for you.

Choosing the Right Tummy Tuck for Your Goals

Loose skin, stretched abdominal muscles, and a soft midsection can all be improved with a customized tummy tuck at Sterling Plastic Surgery in Bedford, New Hampshire. Depending on how much correction you need and the look you want to achieve, Dr. Sterling may recommend one of the following approaches:

• Mini Tummy Tuck – Focuses on loose skin and mild muscle separation below the belly button to create a flatter lower abdomen with a smaller incision.
• Full Tummy Tuck – Reshapes the entire abdomen by removing excess skin, repairing separated muscles, and repositioning the navel for a smoother, firmer contour.
• Extended Tummy Tuck – Treats the abdomen and sides of the waist to remove excess skin and create a more sculpted, defined silhouette.
• Mommy Makeover with Tummy Tuck – Combines a tummy tuck with procedures like a breast lift, breast augmentation, or liposuction so you can address multiple areas and recover from everything at once.

Every procedure is thoughtfully planned around your anatomy and goals, with an emphasis on natural-looking definition and refined, long-lasting results.

Your Tummy Tuck Journey: What to Expect

Your Consultation: You’ll meet with Dr. Sterling to discuss your goals, review your medical history, and create a tummy tuck plan to help you look and feel your best.

Surgery Day: A tummy tuck procedure typically takes about two hours to complete and is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Sterling removes excess skin and fat and tightens the abdominal muscles to create a smoother, more toned appearance.

Recovery: Most patients return home the same day after spending a few hours in recovery. We’ll provide detailed post-operative care instructions and send you home with an abdominal binder to reduce swelling.

Results: You’ll notice improvements within the first several weeks as swelling decreases, and you can return to your normal routines within six weeks. Final results refine over several months, leaving you with a flatter, smoother, and more defined midsection.
