Tummy Tuck Fort Myers, FL | Abdominoplasty Surgery

A flatter, firmer midsection is a goal for many men and women. However, diet and exercise alone cannot always tighten stretched skin or repair weakened abdominal muscles, especially after pregnancy or weight loss.

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat while tightening the abdominal muscles, creating a smoother, more contoured appearance.

At Farahmand Plastic Surgery in Lee County Florida, Dr. Audrey Farahmand, a board-certified female plastic surgeon, specializes in body contouring procedures, including abdominoplasty and liposuction, helping patients regain confidence in their bodies.

A tummy tuck is a cosmetic procedure designed to:

• Remove loose, sagging skin from the abdomen
• Eliminate stubborn fat deposits
• Tighten weakened or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
• Improve the shape and contour of the midsection

Tummy tuck surgery is popular among women after pregnancy (as part of a Mommy Makeover) and individuals who have experienced significant weight loss.

You may benefit from a tummy tuck if you:

• Have loose, excess abdominal skin due to pregnancy or weight loss
• Struggle with stubborn belly fat resistant to diet and exercise
• Have weakened or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
• Are at a stable weight and in overall good health

A tummy tuck is not a weight-loss procedure but rather a body contouring surgery designed to enhance your natural shape.

Full Tummy Tuck – Removes excess skin and fat, tightens abdominal muscles, and repositions the belly button. Ideal for post-pregnancy or weight loss patients.

Mini Tummy Tuck – Targets lower belly skin laxity with a smaller incision. Best for patients with mild sagging below the belly button.

Extended Tummy Tuck – Addresses loose skin around the abdomen, waist, and hips. Often recommended for massive weight loss patients.

During your consultation, Dr. Farahmand will recommend the best tummy tuck option based on your body and goals.

• Outpatient surgery performed under general anesthesia
• Procedure lasts 2-4 hours, depending on the technique
• Excess skin and fat are removed, and abdominal muscles are tightened
• The belly button is repositioned for a natural appearance
• Liposuction may be added for enhanced contouring
• A low, discreet incision is made near the bikini line to minimize visible scarring

• First Week: Expect swelling, bruising, and soreness. Patients walk hunched over initially to reduce tension on the incision.
• Second Week: Gradual improvement, able to stand upright. Many patients return to light work if they have a desk job.
• Third Week & Beyond: Most patients feel significantly better and resume normal activities (except strenuous exercise).
• Full Healing: Visible swelling subsides within a few months, with final results appearing in 6-12 months.
• Compression Garment: Worn for several weeks to support healing and reduce swelling.
• Drains Removal: Drains are typically removed within 1-2 weeks to prevent fluid buildup.
• Scarring: Incisions fade over time and are easily hidden under swimwear.

Procedure: Abdominoplasty with liposuctioning of the hip rolls

“ There is not enough I can say about the experience I had at Farahmand Plastic Surgery. Dr. Farahmand and her staff are remarkable. Having waited years to have a Tummy Tuck I was very apprehensive about the procedure. After my first consultation with Dr. Farahmand all of my worries were put to rest. Dr. Farahmand shows the upmost in professionalism and yet is very caring at the same time. Each of her staff members makes you feel as if you are the most important patient they have. Every question is answered thoroughly and no question is ignored. The results of my Tummy Tuck are phenomenal. The scar is minute compared to how I imagined it would be…I would not hesitate to have Dr. Farahmand perform surgery on me again and would expect the same magnificent results.”
