PERSONALIZED ABDOMINOPLASTY IN CONNECTICUT
Tummy Tuck
Redefine your midsection and restore confidence with a customized tummy tuck by Dr. Boris Goldman. As one of Connecticut’s most trusted plastic surgeons, Dr. Goldman performs expert abdominoplasty procedures that remove excess skin and fat, repair abdominal muscles, and sculpt a flatter, more youthful silhouette.
What Is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance and tone of the abdomen. It is often chosen by patients who have excess skin or weakened abdominal muscles due to aging, pregnancy, or significant weight loss.
Is a Tummy Tuck Right for You?
Ideal candidates are individuals in good general health who experience abdominal laxity that has not responded to diet and exercise. You may benefit from a tummy tuck if you have:
- Loose or hanging abdominal skin
- Stretched or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
- Excess fat deposits around the midsection
- A desire for a firmer, smoother waistline
Dr. Goldman's Customized Approach
Every tummy tuck is tailored to fit the patient's unique anatomy and goals. Dr. Goldman will evaluate your physique, medical history, and expectations to develop a personalized surgical plan that optimizes your outcome.
Your Consultation Experience
During your consultation, Dr. Goldman will discuss your goals, examine your abdominal area, and explain the surgical options available to you. You’ll also learn about the recovery timeline, what results to expect, and how to prepare for the procedure. This collaborative planning stage ensures you're fully informed and confident going into surgery.
What Happens During Tummy Tuck Surgery?
Performed under general anesthesia, tummy tuck surgery generally takes 2–3 hours. Dr. Goldman makes a low incision across the lower abdomen to remove excess skin, eliminate fat, and repair separated muscles. In some cases, the belly button is repositioned to maintain a natural appearance. All techniques are designed to minimize visible scarring.
Recovery and Healing After Tummy Tuck
Most patients return to light activity within 10–14 days. While some swelling and tightness are normal, these symptoms gradually subside. Dr. Goldman provides detailed recovery instructions and closely monitors your progress through post-op checkups to ensure a smooth and safe healing process.
Benefits of a Tummy Tuck
- Flatter, tighter abdomen
- Repaired and toned core muscles
- Reduced appearance of stretch marks (especially in the lower abdomen)
- Improved confidence in fitted clothing and swimwear
Can a Tummy Tuck Be Combined with Other Procedures?
Yes. Many patients choose to combine their tummy tuck with other body contouring surgeries such as liposuction, breast lift, or a full mommy makeover. Dr. Goldman will advise whether a combination approach is appropriate for your goals and safety profile.
