FAQ

What happens during the procedure?

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. An incision is made low on the abdomen, and its length depends on whether you want improvement at the front, around the hips, or around the back for a buttock lift.

The muscle separation is repaired and tightened to bring the waistline in. After excess skin and fat are removed, layered internal sutures close the tissues, removing the need for drain tubes.

Where will my surgery take place?

Surgery is performed at Wellbridge Surgery Center or St. Vincent, depending on the length of your procedure and your preference.

Is the consultation fee applied toward surgery?

Yes. Your $150 consultation fee is applied toward your surgery when you schedule before leaving your consultation.

Is a tummy tuck permanent?

Yes, though your body can still change. Maintaining your weight and a healthy lifestyle help preserve your results.

Will a tummy tuck remove stretch marks?

Only stretch marks located on the skin that is removed.

Can a tummy tuck replace diet and exercise?

No, but healthy habits will make your results even better.

What is an extended tummy tuck?

An extended tummy tuck uses a longer incision to address excess skin and fat around the hips and flanks in addition to the front of the abdomen.

Will I have drains?

Dr. Jones uses layered internal sutures, which removes the need for drain tubes.
