Pregnancy and extreme fluctuations in weight can bring about some unwanted changes, including stretched-out skin and bulging stomach muscles. In many cases, diet and exercise are not enough to lose fat in certain areas. At VPSI, we offer the latest tummy tuck techniques in the Las Vegas area to help you achieve a slimmer, toned body that represents your best self. Don’t let stubborn fat hold you back from a beautiful, contoured figure. Get ready to look and feel your best.
The Benefits of Getting a Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, can reverse physical changes caused by pregnancy or extreme weight gain. The overall benefits of a full tummy tuck include:
- Diastasis Recti Repair
- Fat Removal
- Hernia Repair
- Improved Posture
- Less Back Pain
- Reduced Urinary Incontinence
Am I a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?
During your initial consultation, one of our doctors will perform a complete physical examination and confirm you can undergo a safe and successful procedure. Generally, we consider you an ideal candidate if you have experienced unwanted physical changes due to pregnancy or significant changes in body weight.

The Procedure Process Explained
At VPSI, comfort and safety are our top priorities. From beginning to end, our team will guide you through the entire process. Once we create your custom treatment plan and prep you for surgery, your doctor will use his artistic skill and technical knowledge to reshape and slim down your abdominal area, thighs, and flanks.
While there are several different types of abdominoplasty, the procedure generally involves two major components.
The first is removing the extra skin that has been stretched out due to pregnancy or weight gain and eliminating excess fat from weight gain.
The second is tightening up the abdominal wall muscles to remove the bulge that results from a growing uterus or weight gain. The six-pack muscles, or rectus abdominis, spread out and typically do not snap back into place. This stomach muscle bulge is known as diastasis recti, and diet and exercise alone cannot correct it.
While tummy tuck surgery does require incisions, these will be carefully placed, typically below the underwear line, to minimize any visible scarring. Your doctor may recommend combining your tummy tuck with liposuction, which helps eliminate excess skin for a narrow waist and a toned abdomen.

Recovery and Aftercare
Following surgery, your body will require some time to rest and heal. Depending on the physical intensity of your job, you will be able to return to work within two to six weeks, and it will likely be a month or more before you can resume strenuous workouts.
You can anticipate some pain, swelling, and bruising during the recovery. These symptoms are normal, and you can manage them with pain medications. The effects usually clear up on their own within a few days.
