How A Tummy Tuck Can Transform Your Comfort & Confidence
A tummy tuck can reshape more than your midsection by helping you feel stronger, smoother, and more confident in your body again:
Slim Your Abdomen & Remove Loose Skin
Dr. Shektman removes excess fat and loose skin from your midsection, creating a slimmer, more defined silhouette.
Tighten Separated Muscles
A tummy tuck repairs weakened abdominal muscles caused by pregnancy or the natural aging process, giving you a firmer, flatter midsection.
Strengthen Your Core
This procedure strengthens the abdominal wall, improving your core strength and posture.
Are You A Good Tummy Tuck Candidate?
If pregnancy, weight loss, or the natural aging process have left you with loose skin or excess fat around your abdomen, a tummy tuck can restore the slimmer, tighter midsection you remember.
A tummy tuck may be right for you if:
- You have loose or sagging abdominal skin after pregnancy or major weight loss
- Your abdominal muscles have been stretched or separated
- You’re frustrated with stubborn fat in your midsection that won’t respond to diet or exercise
- You’re close to your goal weight but want a slimmer midsection
- You’re in good overall health
Not sure if a tummy tuck is right for you? Let’s talk. Depending on your goals, Dr. Shektman may recommend complementary procedures like liposuction, breast augmentation, or a mommy makeover for a more complete transformation.

Your Tummy Tuck Journey, Explained
Before your procedure: You will meet with Dr. Shektman to discuss what you want to change, review your health history, and decide which tummy tuck approach best suits your body.
On surgery day: You will be cared for in our Joint Commission-accredited surgical center, where our team supports you through every step. Dr. Shektman will remove loose skin, repair weakened muscles, and create a flatter, more defined midsection, typically within 2-3 hours.
The first few days after surgery: You’ll head home the same day with a compression garment, and gentle walking is encouraged to help with circulation and comfort.
Here’s what you can expect as you heal:
- 1 to 2 weeks: Swelling starts to ease, movement feels easier, and many patients are ready to get back to light daily activities.
- 4 to 6 weeks: Your abdomen feels stronger, and Dr. Shektman may clear you to slowly return to more activity.
- 6 weeks and beyond: Your new shape becomes visible and continues to refine as the remaining swelling fades.

Questions We Often Hear About Tummy Tucks
How long does tummy tuck recovery take?
Many patients feel ready for light activity within 1 to 2 weeks, then build back toward their usual routine as swelling improves and Dr. Shektman clears them for more movement.
Will a tummy tuck help with stretch marks?
A tummy tuck can remove stretch marks on the skin being removed, and those that remain may look less noticeable once the abdomen is smoother and tighter.
How long do tummy tuck results last?
Results can last for many years when your weight stays stable, since the tightened skin and repaired muscles continue to support a flatter, firmer midsection.
How much does a tummy tuck cost?
The cost of your tummy tuck depends on the amount of correction needed and the details of your surgical plan. We’ll provide personalized pricing during your consultation.
