Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) in Toronto
Tummy Tuck Overview
What Is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, also called an abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and repairs the separation of the abdominal muscles. Pregnancy can cause the abdominal muscles to separate, a condition known as rectus diastasis, which requires surgical repair. Abdominoplasty surgically tightens these muscles and sculpts the abdominal area. This has the effect of flattening the stomach, narrowing the waistline, and strengthening the core.

Your Abdominoplasty Options
There are numerous options when it comes to abdominoplasty and abdominal contouring. A thorough consultation and attentive assessment are required to determine which procedure would be most suitable to achieve optimal results.
Full Tummy Tuck
Although there are many variations, full abdominoplasty is the most common operation we perform as it has the most dramatic transformative effect. In this operation, the incision stretches across the lower abdomen and is hidden in the bikini line. A second hidden incision is placed around the umbilicus, or belly button, to reposition the native belly button after excess skin removal. The muscles are repaired, and liposculpting is performed on the abdomen and flanks. The results? A flatter stomach, stronger core, and slimmer waistline
Mini Tummy Tuck in Toronto.
The mini tummy tuck, or mini abdominoplasty in Toronto, is ideal for patients who require more conservative changes, with fatty deposits and other issues that are limited below the navel. This is appropriate in patients with mild excess skin in the lower abdomen and a bulge that is below the navel only. This shorter scar technique also avoids a scar around the belly button.
Floating Abdominoplasty or FAB
The floating abdominoplasty, or FAB, is a technique that involves detaching (or “floating”) the belly button. This is indicated in a patient with very little excess skin but rather a diastasis rectae bulge that extends above and below the belly button. During this procedure, we detach the belly button to repair the musculature and re-attach it in a lower position. This also enables us to avoid any incision around the belly button.
Fleur-De-Lis
The fleur-de-lis is an abdominoplasty that addresses laxity in both the vertical and horizontal directions. This is sometimes necessary after massive weight loss when a full abdominoplasty would be insufficient to correct the skin excess in multiple vectors. The Fleur-de-lis has both a horizontal scar along the bikini line as well as a vertical midline scar.
Circumferential Body Lift
In the setting of massive weight loss, some patients experience laxity not only in the abdomen but also in the lower back with sagging of the buttocks. In this case, a circumferential body lift would be performed to correct the vertical laxity 360 degrees around the body. This results in a low abdominal scar that extends across the lower back as well. This has the added benefit of a buttock lift.
Recovery and Results after a Tummy Tuck in Toronto
After your tummy tuck in Toronto, you can expect four weeks of rest and recovery, during which time you’ll need to avoid strenuous activities and exercise. Most patients return to work and other non-strenuous activities within two weeks. You’ll be provided with detailed aftercare instructions and a list of activities and movements that you’ll want to avoid, so you can ensure that your recovery and healing process are as comfortable as possible. Our office will set follow-up appointments with you, and our team will be available to you at all times throughout your recovery period.

Tummy Tuck FAQ
Will a tummy tuck help me lose weight?
What type of anesthesia is used for a tummy tuck?
Can I combine a tummy tuck with other procedures?
Will a tummy tuck affect future pregnancies?
Will a tummy tuck remove stretch marks?
Will a tummy tuck help me lose weight?
While a tummy tuck can remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area, it is not a weight loss procedure. It is best suited for individuals who are close to their ideal weight but have stubborn areas of fat and loose skin that cannot be addressed through diet and exercise alone.
What type of anesthesia is used for a tummy tuck?
Tummy tuck surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, which means you will be asleep and unaware during the procedure. Your anesthesia provider will discuss the options and risks with you prior to surgery.
Can I combine a tummy tuck with other procedures?
Absolutely! Tummy tuck surgery can often be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as liposuction, breast augmentation or lift, or other body contouring procedures to address multiple concerns simultaneously. This combination of procedures is commonly referred to as a mommy makeover. Combining procedures in this way can offer more comprehensive results while potentially reducing overall recovery time and costs.
Will a tummy tuck affect future pregnancies?
While it is possible to become pregnant after a tummy tuck, the procedure can alter the abdominal muscles and skin, which may be affected by future pregnancies. It's generally recommended to postpone a tummy tuck until after you have completed your family, as additional pregnancies may compromise the results of the surgery. However, each case is unique, and it's essential to discuss your plans and concerns with your surgeon during the consultation.
Will a tummy tuck remove stretch marks?
While a tummy tuck can remove excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen, it may not completely eliminate stretch marks. However, stretch marks located on the lower abdomen that are within the excision area of the surgery may be removed along with the excess skin. Stretch marks outside the excision area may be improved in appearance but may still be visible after surgery.
