What is a Tummy Tuck?

Known medically as an abdominoplasty, the tummy tuck transforms your midsection by targeting multiple areas in one surgery. Abdominal fullness, loose skin, and stretch marks caused by stretched stomach muscles (also called rectus diastasis) that are the result of significant weight fluctuation or pregnancy.

Quintessa is the first Wisconsin plastic surgery provider to offer the innovative “drainless tummy tuck,” which erases the need for additional post-surgical drains, and safely reduces the risk of infection.

After a tummy tuck, you may find a new, more beautiful you has emerged. The procedure can restore a youthful figure and toned abdominal muscles, and leave you feeling great!

How To Plan For Your Quintessa Tummy Tuck?

Type of Procedure Surgical
Recover Time

What You Need To Know Before A Tummy Tuck Procedure

Although the tummy tuck is a popular procedure, it’s still important to take precautions to ensure a smooth recovery process. Before you schedule your surgery with Quintessa, here’s what you need to know.

1-
How to Prepare for your Tummy Tuck

Your initial consultation in Middleton allows you to ask our plastic surgeons any questions and receive detailed guidelines to follow in preparation for your tummy tuck. It’s a good idea to avoid taking non-essential supplements or medications at least 10-14 days before your tummy tuck to avoid blood thinning and bleeding complications.  

However, you should consult your family doctors and specialists before you discontinue any prescribed medications.

2-
Quintessa Abdominoplasty Technique

The abdominal incision in a Quintessa tummy tuck is as small as possible, and the size is based on your anatomy and the amount of your excess fat tissue and skin. The incision is made in the abdominal region below your waist and very discrete.

In conjunction with your abdominoplasty, we use a combination of liposuction and “360” liposuction to effectively target and sculpt both your front and back abdominal contours.

3-
Drainless Tummy Tuck Reduces Post-surgery Risks

Quintessa stands as one of the leading plastic surgery centers in Wisconsin, and implements the newest technology for abdominoplasty procedures. We use the breakthrough drainless tummy tuck technique to ensure your procedure and recovery process provides the best possible result. 

This technique combines muscle repair and liposuction with traditional abdominoplasty, and innovatively uses special suturing that eliminates necessary post-surgical drains. The drainless tummy tuck still provides the positive results of a traditional abdominoplasty and reduces the risks of infection and other post-surgery complications.

When drains are used in abdominoplasty, the risk of seromas (build-up of fluids) and post-op infections increases. The drainless tummy tuck significantly decreases these risks and reduces recovery time.

Our Two Step Process

1-
Scarring After A Tummy Tuck

At Quintessa, we’re dedicated to giving you the best tummy tuck results possible. We understand that severe scarring isn’t a desired result, and will make the smallest abdominal incisions possible.

Tummy tucks that don’t include significant abdominal tissue removal will leave minimal scarring. By utilizing liposuction in your abdominoplasty, we provide positive circumferential improvements without the need to make multiple incisions.

2-
Recovery Time After A Tummy Tuck

For 6-8 weeks after your procedure, you’ll be required to wear a compression garment to help reduce your swelling and enable your body to recover. You might experience pulling, tightness, and numbness in your abdomen during your recovery period — this is completely normal and will heal.

Avoid lifting anything heavier than a gallon of milk, or taking part in strenuous exercise for at least two weeks after your tummy tuck. It’s important to let your body rest and heal. Nevertheless, light physical activity is a vital part of the recovery process — make sure you’re moving around at least a few times per day.

If you develop intense pain in your abdomen or any other complications, you should immediately call Quintessa.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How much does a tummy tuck cost?

On average, a tummy tuck can cost $10,000–$14,000. However, this cost may vary based on a patient’s specific procedural needs. At Quintessa, the tummy tuck includes removal of excess skin, abdominal liposuction, and repair of the abdominal muscles.

Both the tummy tuck and liposuction are great options for people longing to boost their self-confidence and transform their physical appearance. However, different people may have different needs.

A tummy tuck is the best choice for patients with loose abdominal muscles and excess skin. At Quintessa, liposuction is incorporated into our offered tummy tucks. As a stand-alone procedure, though, liposuction does not target excess skin or loose muscles.

Nevertheless, liposuction is a great option for patients who have retained tight abdominal muscles and have extra pockets of fat with good skin quality (sans loose skin or stretch marks). 

A tummy tuck won’t erase significant excess weight on its own. However, most patients shed 3-5 pounds of fat or excess skin as a result of the surgery. Results may vary on an individual patient basis, too.

If you think a tummy tuck in Middleton may be right for you, your new lease on life can begin today. Schedule a consultation with Quintessa to embark on a rejuvenating and transformative journey!
