Abdominoplasty
Tummy Tuck in Minneapolis — Van Beek + Plastic Surgery Specialists
Tummy tuck surgery addresses excess abdominal skin and, when appropriate, weakened or separated musculature.
Procedure Overview
The operation is tailored to the amount and location of skin excess, abdominal wall anatomy, scars, and overall body proportion. It is not a substitute for weight loss.
Who Is It For?
Adults with stable weight and persistent abdominal skin laxity or muscle separation who are healthy enough for elective surgery.
What to Expect
Consultation includes abdominal examination, scar planning, discussion of muscle repair, and whether liposuction or another approach is appropriate.
Recovery
Early mobility is encouraged under specific instructions, while lifting and exercise are restricted. Swelling and tightness improve gradually.
Risks & Considerations
Potential risks include bleeding, infection, fluid collection, blood clots, scarring, delayed healing, numbness, and contour irregularity.
