“I was recommended to Dr. Bauer by a friend who also went to him. My experience here has been nothing short of amazing! Dr. Bauer and the staff truly care about the patients and always make time to answer any questions you may have. Also special shoutout to Stacy for being so great and walking through/answering all of my questions!”

“I got a tummy tuck August 2022 after having 4 10lb babies and 4 c sections that did a number on my body! My experience from consultation, pre and post procedure, to final result is unbelievable! Dr. Fardo and his nurses far exceeded my expectations! They were honest with the procedure, recovery timeline and results. I was shocked that Dr Fardo personally called the night of my surgery to check on me! That is the bedside manner unfortunately you just don’t get nowadays. I would get a tummy tuck 10x again and my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner!”

The initial recovery after a tummy tuck takes about 10 to 14 days. That’s when most patients can return to work or their other normal, non-strenuous activities. It takes several more weeks before you can resume exercising. Most patients heal completely about 3 to 6 months after the surgery.
Some patients have excess skin that’s limited to the area below the bellybutton. They are potentially good candidates for a mini tummy tuck, which involves making a shorter incision. You can discuss whether you can benefit from a mini tummy tuck with your surgeon during the consultation.
Yes, you can combine tummy tuck surgery with other procedures. Many women who have finished having children, for example, combine abdominoplasty with a breast lift or breast augmentation to restore the shape and fullness of their breasts. Liposuction is commonly performed along with a tummy tuck.

Virtually all tummy tuck patients agree that the most unpleasant part of recovery is emptying and cleaning surgical drains that prevent fluid from accumulating below the skin. Fortunately, our board-certified plastic surgeons use an advanced suturing technique in most tummy tuck operations that eliminates the need for drains without sacrificing safety or excellent results. The technique closes the space between the skin and muscles, decreasing the risk of fluid accumulation (seroma)—one of the complications associated with tummy tucks.
