How much does a tummy tuck cost?

At Top Aesthetics, our tummy tuck procedure costs between $5,000 and $10,000, depending on the extent of your procedure.

What are the risks of abdominoplasty?

Dr. Palladino and his team ensure prompt mobilization, the use of compression stockings, and any additional measures to avoid a deep vein thrombosis or any other potential side effects. Some additional risks of abdominoplasty include fluid accumulation, scarring, poor wound healing, tissue damage, and reduced skin sensation. Our dedicated post-op team visits patients in their hotel rooms on the first day after surgery to ensure everything is going according to plan.

What complementary procedures could enhance my tummy tuck results?

Usually, a breast enhancement procedure such as a breast augmentation or a breast lift, as well as fat transfer to the buttocks and hips – or Brazilian Butt Lift – are common complements of abdominoplasties. During your consultation, Dr. Palladino can discuss any additional complementary procedures you wish to undergo to reach your desired aesthetic outcome.

What Is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck allows for the correction of deformities caused by pregnancy or weight loss, which are not amenable to address otherwise with exercise or changes in habits and routine. When performed by an experienced, board-certified surgeon, a tummy tuck can transform the body and positively impact the patient's life.

Having children is a miracle of nature, and losing a significant amount of weight is quite an achievement. However, the price the body pays is often unfair to the patient because it can change the appearance in ways they can’t remedy themselves. Abdominoplasty corrects the resulting folds and gives patients back the confidence they deserve.

Consultation

The consultation process is critical to establishing realistic expectations between what the patient has in mind and what the surgeon can deliver.

Dr. Palladino evaluates each patient’s medical history and aesthetic goals and thoroughly discusses the entire process to ensure your desired results match the actual outcome. With a high patient satisfaction rate, Dr. Palladino’s commitment to a quality surgical experience that exceeds expectations truly shows in the care he provides every step of the way, from your consultation through the recovery period.

The Abdominoplasty Procedure

Preoperative Evaluation

A thorough preoperative evaluation is vital to ensuring the safety of your surgery. At Top Aesthetics, we have a comprehensive preoperative process that usually begins three months before the procedure, where we can evaluate the patient's lab work and medical conditions. This process allows Dr. Palladino to look at the entire picture prior to surgery for a successful operation from the procedure through the recovery period.

Tummy Tuck Operation

Using incisions extending from one hip bone to the other and around the belly button, the procedure surgically removes excess tissue and fat while tightening the abdominal muscles and repositioning the belly button to a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Liposuction can also be included for further narrowing of the waistline. Because safety is our #1 priority, we invest in technologies to elevate perioperative and intraoperative monitoring to a different level.

The Recovery Period

Swelling and bruising can be expected after surgery, and any pain can be controlled by a prescription for Exparel, which tends to make the recovery much easier, faster, and less painful. The recovery
