Chevy Chase, MD Tummy Tuck
The tummy tuck procedure can be included in a mommy makeover but is also popular by itself. Many patients opt to include this in their mommy makeover because it specifically focuses on restoring your abdomen, but you don’t have to have a baby to have this done. Tummy tucks are also common after significant weight loss. A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, addresses your problem areas by removing unwanted stubborn fat and tissue around the waistline and stomach.
There are various types of tummy tucks. Your doctor will discuss which tummy tuck will be right for you when you discuss your current situation and desired outcome.
- Mini Tummy Tuck: Patients in need of only a small amount of excess fat and skin removed may only require a mini tummy tuck, requiring a smaller incision and less surgery time.
- Regular Tummy Tuck: The most common tummy tuck ranges from hip to hip, removing excess fat and loose skin from an individual’s entire abdominal area.
- Extended Tummy Tuck: While this procedure is extremely similar to a regular tummy tuck, the targeted area extends beyond the hips, often including a liposuction contour within the desired area. Individuals who want to remove excess skin and fat in the lower back and hips may be recommended this procedure for best results.
- Circumferential Tummy Tuck: A 360-degree tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the entire torso, generally most suitable for individuals who have faced significant weight loss, resulting in excess skin and fat in the abdomen, hips, and back.

Mommy Makeover and Tummy Tuck Recovery
Recovery for these procedures can range between two and three weeks. No overnight hospital stay is required for either procedure. Activity will be minimal the first week and you may need assistance during your daily activities. After the first week, you will gradually increase your activity as you start to feel better. You can expect a slightly longer recovery from a mommy makeover as you are recovering from multiple procedures at the same time compared to just one.
Every patient is different and will require different recovery processes. Listen to your doctor and follow the guidelines given to you for the best results.
