What Is It

What Is a Tummy

Tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure that removes excess abdominal skin and fat, repairs separated or weakened abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), and repositions the navel — delivering a flat, firm, contoured midsection that diet, exercise, and non-surgical treatments simply cannot achieve. At RejuveenMD in Palo Alto, CA, Dr. LeVeen tailors every tummy tuck to the patient's specific anatomy, degree of skin laxity, and desired outcome.

Whether caused by pregnancy, significant weight loss, ageing, or genetics, excess abdominal skin and muscle laxity are structural issues that no cream, device, or fitness regimen can resolve. Dr. LeVeen offers the full spectrum of abdominoplasty techniques — from a full tummy tuck with complete muscle repair to a mini abdominoplasty for patients with limited lower abdominal laxity — often combined with liposuction for comprehensive midsection contouring.

"A tummy tuck isn't about vanity — it's about restoring a body that reflects the effort patients have already put in. The skin and muscle simply need the structural correction that no lifestyle change can provide."
— Dr. LeVeen, RejuveenMD

Key Benefits

Benefits of a Tummy

Tuckat RejuveenMD

Discover why patients across the San Francisco Bay Area choose RejuveenMD for tummy tuck surgery, post-pregnancy abdominal restoration, diastasis recti repair, and comprehensive midsection contouring.

Flat, Firm Abdominal Profile

By removing excess skin and tightening the underlying musculature, a tummy tuck creates a smooth, flat abdominal contour that no exercise programme or non-surgical treatment can replicate.

Diastasis Recti Repair

A tummy tuck uniquely addresses separated abdominal muscles — a condition common after pregnancy and significant weight changes that creates a persistent abdominal bulge regardless of fitness level.

Permanent Excess Skin Removal

Loose, overhanging abdominal skin that developed through pregnancy or weight loss is permanently removed — delivering results that hold long-term with a stable, healthy lifestyle.

Combinable with Liposuction

Dr. LeVeen frequently combines abdominoplasty with liposuction of the flanks and waist in a single session, achieving a comprehensive 360-degree midsection transformation in one recovery period.

Improved Core Strength & Posture

Repairing the rectus abdominis muscles restores core integrity — many patients report meaningful improvements in lower back pain, posture, and functional core strength following surgery.

Transformative Confidence

Patients consistently describe profound improvements in how clothes fit, comfort in swimwear and activewear, and overall body confidence — results that impact everyday life in ways that go far beyond aesthetics.

Am I a Candidate?

You May Be a Candidate

For a Tummy TuckIf You...

Have loose, sagging, or overhanging abdominal skin that persists despite diet, exercise, and weight management — particularly following pregnancy or significant weight loss

Have been diagnosed with or suspect diastasis recti — a separation of the abdominal muscles that causes a persistent abdominal bulge regardless of core strength exercises

Are at or near your goal weight and have maintained a stable weight for at least 6 months — a tummy tuck is not a weight-loss procedure and produces best results near goal weight

Have completed your family — future pregnancies following a tummy tuck can reverse surgical corrections to the skin and muscle, so timing surgery after completing childbearing is recommended

Are in good general health with no uncontrolled medical conditions that would impair wound healing, and have realistic expectations about the procedure and its recovery

Are a non-smoker or committed to stopping smoking at least 4 weeks before and after surgery — smoking significantly increases the risk of wound healing complications following abdominoplasty

Not sure if you qualify? The only way to know is an in-person assessment. Dr. LeVeen offers free, no-obligation consultations — in-office, by phone, or virtually — to evaluate your abdominal anatomy and recommend the most appropriate surgical approach for your individual case.

What is the difference between a full tummy tuck and a mini tummy tuck?

A full abdominoplasty addresses the entire abdomen — removing skin above and below the navel, repairing the full length of the abdominal muscles, and repositioning the belly button. A mini tummy tuck focuses only on the lower abdomen below the navel, involves a shorter incision, and does not reposition the belly button. It is appropriate for patients with limited lower abdominal skin laxity and no significant diastasis recti. Dr. LeVeen determines the right approach based on your anatomy at your consultation.

How long does tummy tuck recovery take?

Most patients return to light desk work within 2–3 weeks. A compression garment is worn for 4–6 weeks. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 6–8 weeks. Swelling continues to reduce over 3–6 months, with final results fully visible at 6–12 months. Dr. LeVeen provides a detailed, personalised recovery protocol at your consultation, including guidance on activity restrictions, wound care, and scar management.

Will I have a visible scar after a tummy tuck?

All tummy tucks involve a horizontal scar, but Dr. LeVeen places this incision very low — within or just above the bikini line — so it is concealed by underwear and most swimwear. With meticulous surgical technique, silicone scar therapy, and proper post-operative care, the scar typically fades to a fine, pale line over 12–18 months. A second small scar around the navel is also present following a full abdominoplasty, which fades similarly.

Can I have a tummy tuck if I plan to have more children?

It is strongly recommended to complete your family before undergoing a tummy tuck. Future pregnancies stretch the repaired abdominal muscles and the tightened skin, potentially reversing the surgical corrections. The procedure is entirely safe to perform before future pregnancies, but the results will be compromised. Dr. LeVeen discusses timing thoroughly during your consultation to help you make the decision that is right for your circumstances.

How much does a tummy tuck cost at RejuveenMD?

The cost of abdominoplasty varies depending on the technique required (full vs. mini), whether liposuction is combined, the complexity of your muscle repair, and your specific anatomy. At RejuveenMD, we provide complete, transparent pricing at your free consultation — no hidden fees, no surprises. Financing options are available to make your procedure accessible.
