Tummy Tuck
You've already done the hard work to lose weight around your stomach, but now you may need a helping hand. That's where our team comes in.
Our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Jaime Perez, can give you a slimmer figure using trusted abdominoplasty techniques.
If you're curious about your candidacy, visit our welcoming Tampa, FL, office for a tummy tuck consultation.
What Can a Tummy Tuck Do?
An abdominoplasty can remove a small degree of fat. For additional fat removal, though, our surgeon always pairs tummy tucks with liposuction. This ensures the best-looking results.
Losing weight can be a difficult achievement. Despite all your efforts, you may have loose skin you cannot get rid of on your own. Luckily, our plastic surgeon can remove it during your customized procedure.
One of the lesser-known benefits of a tummy tuck is that it can be used to reattach your abdominal muscles and tighten your abdominal wall. Our doctor often conducts this step when treating patients who have had children.
Has your belly button changed its position? This is typical for patients who have gained weight or carried a child. While there's nothing wrong with a lower belly button, it can be raised if you desire with a tummy tuck.
Am I a Tummy Tuck Candidate?
Both men and women can be candidates for a tummy tuck. Two of the most common reasons why patients visit our Tampa plastic surgery office for abdominoplasty are weight loss and pregnancy.
If you are unhappy with excess skin or fat, or if you want tighter abdominal muscles, you may be a good candidate — but you'll have to talk with our surgeon to know for sure.
To be eligible, you'll need to be within 10 to 15 pounds of your target weight. You'll also need to refrain from smoking and drinking, as well as live a generally healthy lifestyle.
What Does a Tummy Tuck Look Like? Exploring Two Real Cases
We specialize in tummy tucks — a type of body contouring — to produce the most natural-looking results. We can treat patients with a range of concerns:
Tummy Tuck After Weight Loss
If you have extensive weight loss, spanning 40 pounds or more, you may be a good tummy tuck candidate.
Tummy Tuck After Childbirth
The soonest patients can pursue a tummy tuck after pregnancy is six to seven months after giving birth. They should not plan on having more children.

Choose From Three Different Tummy Tucks At Our Tampa Practice
Each treatment performed by our board-certified plastic surgeon is completely tailored to you. We feature:
Mini Tummy Tucks
As the name suggests, mini tummy tucks are used for simpler cases. It covers a smaller area (the lower abdomen). Unlike other types of tummy tuck, it will not involve reattaching the muscles in your abdominal wall.
Standard Tummy Tuck
Concerned with loose skin, excess fat, and separated abdominal muscles? Dr. Perez can address all these concerns using a standard tummy tuck. The results will be completely discreet, due to the positioning of the scar and the experience of our surgeon.
Extended Tummy Tuck
If you have more abdominal skin or fat that you want to lose, you may be a great candidate for an extended tummy tuck. This comprehensive option covers all that a standard tummy tuck does, with some extra treatment areas: your lower back and the sides of your abdomen.
What Is It Like Having a Tummy Tuck?
Our surgeon offers mini, regular, and extended tummy tucks, so that you can find the best option for your needs.
Dr. Perez uses techniques like leaving the fascia intact and preserving the lymphatic system for a safer overall procedure.
