Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) before and after photos highlight how this transformative procedure can restore a firmer, smoother, and more defined midsection. Subtle yet powerful, it removes excess skin and tightens weakened muscles to create a naturally balanced silhouette.

At our New York offices in Manhattan and Great Neck, Dr. Thomas Loeb, a renowned board-certified plastic surgeon, specializes in achieving natural-looking abdominal contours that harmonize with each patient’s overall body shape and proportions.

This demonstrates a great result, but if she wanted upper pole fullness she would have had to add an implant because with time the skin gives a little and the breast softens. You may lose upper pole fullness if you don’t have an implant. This varies with how firm your tissue is.

What to Know About Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Results

While every patient’s goals are unique, the foundation of a successful tummy tuck lies in restoring harmony between the abdominal muscles, skin, and surrounding contours. Dr. Loeb’s approach focuses on precision and proportion, helping patients achieve a flatter, firmer, and more youthful-looking abdomen that complements their natural body lines.

Factors That May Influence Outcomes:

  • Degree of skin laxity and muscle separation (diastasis recti)
  • Previous pregnancies or significant weight changes
  • Overall body composition and health
  • Realistic expectations and recovery commitment
  • Whether combined with other procedures (liposuction, breast surgery, etc.)

What to Expect from Tummy Tuck Recovery

Recovery following a tummy tuck generally requires 1–2 weeks of initial rest and limited activity. Swelling, tightness, and mild discomfort are common during the early phase and are managed with prescribed care instructions and compression garments.

Most patients return to work and light activity after 2–3 weeks, while more strenuous exercise is typically resumed after 6–8 weeks. Over the next several months, the abdomen continues to refine and flatten as tissues fully heal. Dr. Loeb provides personalized aftercare guidance to promote optimal results and a smooth recovery.
