Body confidence comes in all sizes and everyone deserves to feel beautiful in their own skin. At Vegas Plastic Surgery Institute (VPSI), Dr. Goldman and Dr. Brosious are committed to helping patients enhance their natural shape and achieve their individual aesthetic goals—not fit into unrealistic one-size-fits-all beauty standards.
Whether you are looking to remove excess skin, tighten your midsection, or elevate your curves and contours, VPSI is here to support you on your journey with plus size tummy tucks in Las Vegas, Nevada.
What Is a Plus Size Tummy Tuck?
Also known as a plus size abdominoplasty, a plus size tummy tuck is a specialized procedure designed for individuals with a higher BMI who want excess skin and fat removed, a more contoured figure, and tightened abdominal muscles.
Compared to a traditional tummy tuck, during a plus size tummy tuck procedure, Dr. Goldman and Dr. Brosious use modern techniques to address larger amounts of excess tissue, strategically shape the midsection, and improve overall body proportions.
The goal is to not create an unnaturally slim silhouette but to enhance your already beautiful body and help you feel more confident in your skin.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Plus Size Tummy Tuck?
Plus size tummy tucks are tailored to patients who may not fit conventional weight criteria for many traditional cosmetic procedures. Generally, Dr. Goldman and Dr. Brosious will perform this procedure on patients with a BMI of 30 or less, as anything above that carries a higher risk for severe complications.
Additionally, you may be a good candidate for a plus size tummy tuck if you:
- Do not smoke and can abstain from alcohol consumption before your procedure and during your recovery.
- Have realistic expectations and a healthy outlook regarding your procedure outcome.
- Can take enough time off from work to prioritize your recovery.
- Are cleared for surgery based on your current physical health and medical history.
- Plan to maintain your weight, as additional weight loss may result in further skin sagging and the potential need for revision surgery.
- Wish to combine this procedure with another, such as liposuction or body contouring.
To better determine if you are an ideal candidate for plus size tummy tuck surgery, we recommend you schedule a consultation at Vegas Plastic Surgery Institute.
What To Expect: The Procedure and Recovery
The first step to achieving your ideal outcome from plus size abdominoplasty is visiting VPSI for a personalized consultation. During this time, Dr. Goldman or Dr. Brosious will perform an assessment, review your medical history, learn more about your aesthetic concerns and goals, and create a tailored treatment plan to deliver the best possible outcome. When you are ready to move forward with your plus size tummy tuck in Las Vegas, we’ll set a surgery date.
On the day of your procedure, you will be put under general anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable during surgery. Your surgeon will then carefully trim, contour, and shape your figure using advanced tummy tuck techniques, all customized to your unique treatment plan.
Following your procedure, we will provide you with a guide on recovery and aftercare. Generally, we recommend tummy tuck patients take off at least one to two weeks from work to rest and heal. It is also very important to avoid strenuous exercise for several weeks.
Additionally, you will be offered prescription and over-the-counter medication for pain management, as well as compression garments for optimal recovery.
