Types of Tummy Tucks

A tummy tuck is not a one-size-fits-all procedure, and the reasons people choose abdominoplasty can vary. Some patients want to remove excess skin after significant weight loss. Others may be pursuing it as part of a mommy makeover due to weakened abdominal muscles as a result of pregnancy. PRMA understands that every patient’s body and goals are unique, which is why we offer multiple abdominoplasty surgery options to ensure you receive the best procedure for your individual needs.

Traditional Tummy Tuck

A traditional tummy tuck procedure removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles. This is an excellent option for patients who have experienced significant weight loss or post-pregnancy changes and want to achieve a flatter, more toned abdomen.

Mini Tummy Tuck

A mini tummy tuck is a less invasive alternative for individuals with mild lower abdominal laxity. This procedure focuses on tightening the skin and muscles below the navel, making it a great option for those who don’t require full abdominal correction.

Liposuction 

Liposuction is often combined with a tummy tuck to further contour the waistline by removing stubborn fat deposits. This approach helps enhance the final tummy tuck results, giving patients a more defined and sculpted appearance.

Comprehensive Body Sculpting After Weight Loss

Whether your transformation results from bariatric surgery, GLP-1 medications, or intensive lifestyle changes, PRMA offers advanced body contouring solutions to help complete your journey. After significant weight loss, patients often face excess skin and stubborn fat deposits in multiple areas—not just the abdomen.

Our board-certified plastic surgeons take a 360° approach to body contouring, customizing your plan to include procedures like:

• 360 Liposuction: Targeting fat around the midsection for a more defined silhouette.
• Lower Body Lift (360 Body Lift): Removing excess skin from the abdomen, flanks, lower back, and buttocks.
• Arm Lift, Thighplasty, and More: Additional options based on your unique anatomy and goals.

If you’ve worked hard to lose weight but still feel held back by how your body looks or feels, we’re here to help you feel confident from every angle.

Revision Abdominoplasty Surgery

PRMA is proud to be a trusted destination for thousands of patients across Texas and beyond—not only for primary abdominoplasty but also for revision procedures. Many individuals come to us after previous tummy tuck surgeries performed elsewhere, seeking improved aesthetics or correction of unsatisfactory results. Whether it’s refining abdominal contours, correcting asymmetry, or improving scarring, our renowned plastic surgeons are highly experienced in complex cases.

What to Expect During a Tummy Tuck

Your tummy tuck consultation is the first step in your transformation. During your appointment, our expert tummy tuck surgeons in San Antonio will:

• Discuss your aesthetic goals and expectations
• Evaluate your anatomy to determine the best approach
• Explain the different types of tummy tuck procedures available
• Address any concerns or questions you may have

The procedure itself is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2-4 hours, depending on the complexity. Our team will guide you through every step, ensuring you feel informed and comfortable throughout the process.

Recovery and Results After a Tummy Tuck

Most patients return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, though full healing, including scar maturation, can take up to a year. Following all post-op guidelines is key to ensuring optimal healing and the best results. Our goal is to help you achieve long-lasting, natural-looking results with a strong support system behind you.

While tummy tuck surgery is a safe and effective procedure, all surgeries carry some risks, including swelling, temporary numbness, and scarring. Our surgeons take every precaution to minimize risks and ensure a smooth recovery.

A mini tummy tuck focuses on the lower abdomen below the umbilicus (belly button), while a full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdominal area.
