What Is A Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that improves the appearance of the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat and tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles. This surgery is especially beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging-related changes that have left the midsection loose or sagging despite diet and exercise. At Advanced Aesthetics Plastic Surgery Center, our experienced surgeons customize each tummy tuck to create a smoother, flatter abdominal profile that enhances body proportions. Contact our offices in Fayetteville, Newnan, or Stockbridge, GA today to schedule your consultation and learn how a tummy tuck can restore comfort and confidence in your figure.
How Is A Tummy Tuck Performed?
Tummy tuck surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 2 – 4 hours, depending on the extent of correction. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision low across the abdomen, usually from hip to hip, positioned so it can be concealed beneath most clothing or swimwear. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the underlying abdominal muscles are tightened to restore a smoother, flatter contour. In some cases, a second incision around the navel is made to address excess skin in the upper abdomen. Once the adjustments are complete, the skin is carefully redraped and the incisions are closed with sutures. Most patients return home the same day to begin recovery and gradually see their results improve as swelling subsides.
What Are the Benefits of A Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck offers both functional and cosmetic benefits by addressing loose skin, excess fat, and weakened abdominal muscles. Some benefits may include:
- Removes excess skin and fat for a smoother abdominal contour
- Tightens separated or weakened abdominal muscles
- Reduces the appearance of stretch marks on the lower abdomen
- Improves fit and comfort in clothing
- Restores a flatter, more balanced midsection after weight loss or pregnancy
- Enhances overall body proportions and silhouette
- Provides long-lasting results when combined with a healthy lifestyle
Tummy Tuck Reviews
My experience was awesome! Dr. Akinbiyi did a wonderful job on my tummy tuck. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get a tummy tuck. Thank you Dr. Akinbiyi, Syndee and staff for taking great care of me.
Dr. Raniere is AMAZING! He performed my extended tummy tuck and breast reduction/lift and I could not be happier with the results. He took time to listen to my concerns and answer all of my questions at the initial consultation. His patient coordinator, Cheryl, was so kind and made scheduling super easy. His medical assistant, Jackie, was so very helpful with my post op care and questions. This was truly a life changing experience and I am forever grateful to Dr. Raniere and staff.
Transformed with Care—A Surgeon Who Truly Listens and DeliversI have had two cosmetic procedures with Dr. Akinbiyi— breast reconstruction with implants and a tummy tuck with liposuction to my side flanks— and the experiences have been outstanding from start to finish.During the initial consultation, Dr. Akinbiyi was attentive, patient, and thorough. He explained everything clearly and answered all of my questions, which made me feel confident and at ease. The staff was also professional, responsive, and supportive both before and after surgery. Scheduling was easy, and follow-ups were handled with care.The office and hospital facilities were clean, safe, and comfortable. On the day of each procedure, everything was clearly explained, and I felt fully prepared. Recovery went smoothly thanks to excellent pain management and post-op instructions.Dr. Akinbiyi’s respectful and compassionate approach truly stood out. He listens, takes his patients seriously, and creates a space where you feel understood and will cared for.I give Dr. Akinbiyi and his team five stars across the board. I highly recommend him and would absolutely return for future procedures.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Gronka at Advanced Aesthetics! From the very first consultation, he was incredibly kind, patient, and thorough. He explained every step of the process in detail, and always made sure I felt comfortable and informed. If I had a question (and trust me, I had a lot!), he was always there with an answer and reassurance.I had previously undergone a breast reduction with another provider that left me with some issues, but Dr. Gronka completely fixed them—and now, if I don’t say so myself, they look absolutely beautiful! On top of that, my tummy tuck results blew me away. At just three months post-op, I’m already thrilled with how I look and feel, and I know it’s only going to keep getting better.His staff is just as wonderful—every single person I interacted with was so sweet and genuinely caring. You can tell they love what they do and truly want the best for their patients.If you’re considering any type of cosmetic procedure, I would highly recommend Dr. Gronka. He truly cares about his patients and his work speaks for itself. Thank you for helping me feel confident and beautiful again!
He is so professional and down to earth! I love the results of my complex abdominoplasty.
