What is a Tummy Tuck?
For many people, pursuing a smoother stomach requires nothing more than diet and exercise. But when pregnancy, weight loss, or aging causes sagging skin and excess fat, achieving ideal results can feel nearly impossible. Not to worry, Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates can help you realize your body contouring goals.
With an abdominoplasty (also known as a tummy tuck) in Jacksonville, our expert surgeons can tighten your muscles and remove areas of stubborn fat and sagging skin. We’ll help you create a more toned, contoured stomach.
- Excess skin around abdomen
- Stubborn pockets of belly fat
What To Expect From a Tummy Tuck
01
Consultation
During your consultation at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates, you’ll sit down for a private discussion with one of our expert surgeons. You’ll talk through your concerns about your stomach’s appearance as well as any other aesthetic goals you have. Based on this information, we’ll personalize the surgical plan for your tummy tuck in Jacksonville.
02
Preparation
After deciding on the right course of treatment, you and your doctor will talk through the entire process. They’ll provide you with information about pre-care and post-care, the surgery itself, and what to expect from general anesthesia. Once you feel prepared for your procedure, we’ll help you schedule your appointment.
03
Procedure
Your surgeon will choose the right incision based upon the quantity of excess skin. A full tummy tuck includes an incision made from hip bone to hip bone, just on top of the pubic line. If included in your care plan, we’ll use liposuction to remove excess fat. We’ll trim any extra skin and tissue, and then we’ll tighten the remaining skin for a smoother, more contoured look.
04
Recovery
After completing your tummy tuck in Jacksonville, your doctor will once again go over your post-care instructions with you. We will provide you with a compression garment to wear for the next few weeks to promote healing. We encourage you to rest for a couple of days, as walking and standing will be a challenge until the incision heals and your muscles relax.

Tummy Tuck FAQs
During your tummy tuck at CSA, your surgeons will use the smallest incisions possible to minimize scarring. They will also place the incisions discreetly, in natural skin folds or in areas easily hidden by undergarments or swimsuits. After your procedure, we will give you post-care directions that will help your stitches heal properly and reduce the visibility of any remaining scars.
While you can get pregnant following your tummy tuck, it may compromise your results. We recommend that you complete your family before scheduling your abdominoplasty. However, if you do get pregnant following your tummy tuck in Jacksonville, we can discuss performing a second surgery to refresh your results and restore your contours. We often recommend patients wait at least 6 months after giving birth to have a tummy tuck.
