Get answers to common questions about Tummy Tuck.

A tummy tuck involves surgical removal of excess skin and fat, along with the tightening of abdominal muscles for a more toned appearance.

Recovery from a tummy tuck typically takes about 4 to 6 weeks, during which you will gradually resume normal activities.

Ideal candidates are generally healthy individuals with excess abdominal skin and fat, often after weight loss or pregnancy.

As with any surgery, risks include infection, scarring, and anesthesia complications, but they are minimized with proper care.

A tummy tuck can significantly improve the appearance of stretch marks, especially those on the lower abdomen, but may not remove them completely.

It’s advised to wait at least 6 weeks before resuming high-impact exercise; always consult with Dr. Perlman for personalized guidance.
