What is a tummy tuck?

An abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is an ideal procedure for both men and women who have diligently followed their diet and exercise regimes but still struggle with a saggy or bulging abdomen. Factors such as post-pregnancy changes, significant weight loss, or the natural aging process can lead to a less-than-desired abdominal appearance. 

Dr. Vinyard's expert technique targets and eliminates sagging skin, unwanted pockets of fat, and stretch marks, predominantly in the lower abdomen. His comprehensive approach also includes repositioning the belly button and mending the rectus abdominal muscles. With his vast expertise in body makeovers, patients who come to Port Saint Lucie, FL, can attain a beautifully redefined stomach area.

More About Getting a Tummy Tuck with Dr. Vinyard

Hear from Dr. Vinyard directly on the benefits of getting a Tummy Tuck and what to expect.

What is the technique?

Dr. Vinyard is renowned for his proprietary and unique approach to tummy tucks, consistently delivering exceptional results. Every tummy tuck procedure performed at VIPS emphasizes the meticulous removal of excess skin, fat reduction, and the rectification of the rectus abdominal muscles. When considering abdominoplasty with Dr. Vinyard, there are several tailored surgical options that align with individual needs.

Full tummy tuck

Patients with a significant amount of drooping skin might need a full tummy tuck, which requires an incision across the lower abdomen, stretching from hip to hip, situated just above the pubic area. The size and shape of the incision predominantly hinge on the extent of excess skin present in your abdomen. A full tummy tuck also incorporates a mons pubis lift and/or reduction, rectus muscle plication (muscle repair) for diastasis recti repair and an umbilicoplasty. Dr. Vinyard's patients love and always praise his natural looking belly buttons. Dr. Vinyard typically does this procedure under general anesthesia as an outpatient operation.

Mini tummy tuck

Conversely, a mini tummy tuck might be the optimal choice for those with minimal fat and slack skin around the midsection. Although the surgical incision for a mini tummy tuck is strategically placed in a similar area, it is not as extensive as that of a full tummy tuck. Based on your comfort level, Dr. Vinyard uses general anesthesia or a combination of local anesthesia and sedation for this procedure.
