Tummy Tuck (Full, Mini & Extended Abdominoplasty)

Tummy tuck surgery at Imagos Plastic Surgery Miami using full, mini, and extended abdominoplasty techniques performed under general anesthesia at the AAAASF-accredited Miami Sunset Surgery Center. The procedure removes excess abdominal skin and fat, tightens separated rectus abdominis muscles, and restores a flat abdominal contour. Commonly combined with breast augmentation or liposuction as a Mommy Makeover. Free consultation required for personalised quote.

Abdominoplasty at Imagos Institute of Plastic Surgery in Miami is performed by Dr. Jose A. Perez-Gurri and Dr. Onelio Garcia Jr., two board-certified plastic surgeons each with over 35 years of experience in body contouring. The tummy tuck is one of the practice's core surgical offerings and is designed to address the abdominal changes that cannot be reversed through diet and exercise alone — including loose, hanging skin from significant weight loss or repeated pregnancies, diastasis recti (separation of the rectus abdominis muscles at the midline linea alba that creates the characteristic postpartum pouch), and residual subcutaneous fat deposits that resist lifestyle intervention. The clinic offers three tummy tuck variants tailored to the patient's degree of change and aesthetic goals. The full abdominoplasty uses a horizontal incision placed at the bikini line from hip to hip, allowing the surgical team to elevate the abdominal skin flap, repair the midline muscles with permanent sutures, excise excess lower abdominal skin, and reposition the umbilicus through a new opening at its natural level. Recovery involves walking within 24 hours, returning to office work within approximately two weeks, resuming strenuous activity at three to four weeks, and full exercise at six weeks; a compression garment is worn for four to six weeks post-operatively to manage swelling and support healing. The mini abdominoplasty uses a shorter bikini-line incision to address patients with limited skin laxity confined to the lower abdominal panel below the navel, resulting in a smaller scar, shorter recovery, and lower overall surgical burden. The extended abdominoplasty carries the incision laterally around the flanks and is appropriate for patients who have experienced massive weight loss or post-bariatric changes affecting the lateral waist and back in addition to the anterior abdominal wall. All tummy tuck procedures at Imagos are performed under general anesthesia at the Miami Sunset Surgery Center, an AAAASF gold-standard accredited facility with two fully equipped operating suites and ABA-certified anesthesiologists on staff. The tummy tuck is frequently combined with breast surgery or liposuction as part of a Mommy Makeover — a single operative session addressing the total-body changes of the postpartum period. Multiple financing options including CareCredit, Cherry, Alphaeon Credit, PROSPER, and United Medical Credit are available. Free in-person and virtual consultations are offered.
