*Ideal candidates for a tummy tuck are in good general health, at a stable weight, and looking to correct loose abdominal skin or muscle laxity. Dr. Swail will create a personalized treatment plan based on your body and goals.
“Plastic surgery is the most interesting and challenging career I can think of. While there are some surgeries we perform often enough to be considered ‘routine,’ every patient is different and will present their own unique challenges. Getting the best results for your patients requires knowledge and creativity, in addition to technical mastery of surgical technique. My residency training provided me with the necessary fundamentals and my years in practice have given me the experience and judgment to offer my patients results that are second to none.”

While a tummy tuck improves the shape and contour of your abdomen, it’s not a weight-loss procedure. Ideal candidates are at or near their target weight but want to correct loose skin or weakened muscles.
Most patients return to light activity within 2–3 weeks. Strenuous exercise and core-heavy movements should be avoided for 6–8 weeks. Dr. Swail will guide you through every phase of healing with detailed recovery instructions.

Absolutely. Many patients combine a tummy tuck with liposuction or breast procedures for more comprehensive body contouring. This is often part of a Mommy Makeover plan, tailored just for you.
It can reduce or eliminate stretch marks located on the lower abdomen, especially those on skin that’s removed during surgery. Marks outside that area may remain but could appear less noticeable with tightening.
Yes, as long as you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. While your body will continue to age naturally, the tightened muscles and removed skin won't return unless affected by future weight gain or pregnancy.
