A tummy tuck gets rid of excess, loose skin, and often the stretch marks that go along with it. People rate tummy tuck surgery as one of the most rewarding of all plastic surgery procedures.

You Deserve a Better Tummy Tuck 

Abdominoplasty, often called a tummy tuck, corrects muscle laxity and removes excess skin and fat that are difficult—if not impossible—to resolve with diet and exercise alone. During pregnancy or a significant gain in weight, the fascia (fibrous tissue) surrounding the muscles of the abdomen is stretched. Once a woman delivers a child or a person loses a great deal of weight, the stretched fascia and overlying skin does not return to its firm, tight state. This often results in an abdomen that: 

• Is marked by rolls of excess skin and fat 
• Protrudes and is out of proportion to the rest of the body 
• Does not improve with diet and exercise alone 

At Ford Plastic Surgery, we offer numerous options for customizing this transformative procedure so you get the most from your surgery. Some of the ways we improve upon the standard operation: 

• We often incorporate liposuction for optimal waist slimming and smoothing  
• We take great care to reshape the navel for an ultra-natural appearance  
• We offer a fleur-de-lis incision pattern for individuals with excess skin in both the vertical and horizontal dimensions 
• We offer a mini tummy tuck for individuals whose concerns are limited to the area below the navel 

Answers to Your Tummy Tuck Questions 

How Much Does Tummy Tuck Surgery Cost? 

At Ford Plastic Surgery in Toronto, the cost of a tummy tuck is $15,935 (before taxes). The cost of a mini tummy tuck is $11,657.50 (before taxes). 

What Is Tummy Tuck Recovery Like? 

Following tummy tuck surgery, you'll need to give your body adequate time to rest and recuperate at home. Your abdomen will be bandaged, and you will likely have surgical drains in place to reduce fluid buildup in the lower abdominal area. Although your surgeon prescribes pain medicine to manage your discomfort, you will likely experience some soreness and stiffness. These sensations are normal. It's important to avoid strenuous activities, straining, or lifting heavy items. Although you may return to work after about 2 to 3 weeks, you'll likely need to wear a special support garment for a bit more time to support your abdomen as it continues to heal. 

Is Tummy Tuck Surgery Safe? 

By choosing an experienced, credentialed surgeon such as Dr. Snell, you can do your part to ensure your tummy tuck is a safe, effective surgery that's likely to create long-lasting results. However, bear in mind that no surgery is completely free of risk. During your consultation, your surgeon reviews your individual risk factors and helps you decide whether tummy tuck is an appropriate choice for you.

Overall, tummy tuck is one of the most transformative procedures performed at Ford Plastic Surgery, and it remains a popular option among men and women alike.

The best approach for your tummy tuck surgery will be determined at your consultation.
