Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Dr K Miami offers multiple abdominoplasty techniques including Standard Full, High Lateral Tension, Avelar, Floating Abdominoplasty (FAB), Mini, Extended, and Circumferential Tummy Tuck. All-inclusive pricing covers surgeon fees, anaesthesia, facility, and surgical garment. Procedures are performed as same-day surgery; full recovery is approximately six weeks.

The tummy tuck programme at Dr K Miami Plastic Surgery is one of the most comprehensive in South Florida, offering seven distinct abdominoplasty techniques to match each patient's anatomy and aesthetic goals. Dr. Bart Kachniarz — trained at Johns Hopkins and awarded the Frank L. Coulson Jr. Award for clinical excellence — performs Standard Full Abdominoplasty, High Lateral Tension (HLT) Abdominoplasty, Avelar Abdominoplasty, Floating Abdominoplasty (FAB), Mini Tummy Tuck, Extended Abdominoplasty, and Circumferential Abdominoplasty. The Standard Full Abdominoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen and tightens the abdominal wall muscles. The High Lateral Tension variant adds lateral pulling for a more defined waist. The Floating Abdominoplasty (FAB) technique preserves the umbilical stalk's blood supply, reducing revision rates and downtime. Mini Tummy Tuck is suited to patients with limited lower abdominal laxity who need targeted refinement without a full incision pattern. Extended and Circumferential Abdominoplasty address patients with significant skin laxity extending to the flanks or full lower torso. All tummy tuck procedures at the clinic are performed as same-day surgery under general anaesthesia, with procedure times ranging from two to four hours. Patients are discharged the same day with a surgical compression garment included in the all-inclusive pricing, which also covers surgeon fees, anaesthesia, and facility costs. Recovery protocol requires one week of rest minimum, no driving for two weeks, and no lifting over 10 pounds for six weeks. Full recovery is achieved at approximately six weeks. For patients travelling from outside Florida or internationally, the clinic offers pre-operative virtual consultations and has established hotel partnerships for post-operative recovery accommodation near the Coconut Grove location.
