The result of your tummy tuck in Portland will be a slimmer, smoother abdomen with minimal visible scarring
For most patients, a tummy tuck can be combined with the BBL procedure to provide maximum results
For a full tummy tuck patients go under general anesthesia. Dr. Lee makes a horizontal incision between the pubic hairline and the navel.
The tummy tuck surgery removes your old C-section scar and places the new scar even lower on the tummy so that it is hidden by underwear or a bathing suit
Many women combine breast augmentation with a tummy tuck and liposuction in a procedure known as a Mommy Makeover , which allows them to achieve a more comprehensive enhancement of the body.
For most full tummy tucks, the main incision is made just above the pubic hairline and below the navel
With a tummy tuck performed by a highly qualified and board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Aaron Gorin , you can achieve a flatter, firmer midsection
A mini tummy tuck is a procedure that uses a shorter scar and does not make a separate incision around the belly button
Our surgeons perform abdominoplasty using general anesthetic at an outpatient surgery center. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision just above the pubic bone area and, perhaps, another around the navel.
Low Transverse Tummy Tuck with Umbilical Transposition – This most common method uses a low horizontal abdominal incision
Mini Tummy Tuck Portland Oregon with Floating Umbilicus – Perfect for mild lower belly skin excess
A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the underlying muscles
While abdominoplasty can further enhance the results of liposuction, it is often employed to counter the sagging aftereffects of massive weight loss due to medical intervention, surgery, or simple diet and exercise.
A tummy tuck begins long before the day of the procedure itself, with patient education and thorough consultation with a plastic surgeon of choice.
A tummy tuck for men is tailored to emphasize a strong, athletic physique rather than a traditionally flat stomach
Mommy makeovers can help to restore your pre-pregnancy body by addressing areas such as the abdomen, breast, and arms. There are a handful of procedures that can be combined for a total mommy makeover like tummy tuck, breast lift, breast augmentation, and even brachioplasty.
A tummy tuck in Portland - technically called abdominoplasty - at Gilson Plastic Surgery in Portland removes extra skin, repairs diastasis recti, and sculpts a smoother waistline, helping you reclaim a strong, balanced core
A mini tummy tuck is a modified tummy tuck technique that addresses excess skin and tissue below the belly button
Mommy makeover in Portland is a combination of several body contouring procedures that can include anything from breast augmentation with breast implants , breast lift, body lifts , liposuction , and tummy tuck to labial reduction and vaginal rejuvenation.
Tummy Tuck generally runs $8,000–$16,000 per procedure, and each Portland clinic sets its own price. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in US dollars (USD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Portland clinics for a personalized quote.
Initial results in 2–4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Portland providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.
Most patients wait 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid irritation on freshly-treated skin.
A full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdomen above and below the navel, repairs muscle separation along the full length, and requires repositioning the belly button. A mini tummy tuck only treats the area below the navel, uses a shorter scar, and does not move the belly button, but it also cannot fix laxity or muscle separation above it. Most people who want a mini turn out to need a full one, and a surgeon who tells you that is being honest rather than upselling.
There is a permanent scar running hip to hip, low enough to sit beneath underwear or a swimsuit in most cases, plus a small scar around the navel with a full tummy tuck. It is red and raised for several months, then fades over one to two years to a thin pale line in most patients. People prone to keloid or hypertrophic scarring should raise that at consultation. Anyone promising a scarless tummy tuck is describing a different operation.
You can, but surgeons generally advise against it. A subsequent pregnancy stretches the repaired muscles and skin again, which can undo the result and mean a second operation. It is not dangerous to become pregnant after a tummy tuck, but it is expensive to redo. If you plan more children in the near future, waiting is usually the better financial and surgical decision.
The cosmetic portion is not covered. In specific cases insurance may cover a related procedure called a panniculectomy, which removes a hanging apron of skin when it causes documented rashes, infections, or functional problems, most often after major weight loss. That is not the same operation as a tummy tuck and does not include muscle repair or contouring. Ask your surgeon's office to explore it if you have documented skin problems.
This is one of the more uncomfortable cosmetic operations, particularly when muscle repair is included, and the first week is genuinely difficult. Patients describe intense tightness rather than sharp pain, and most cannot stand fully upright for several days. Pain management has improved considerably with long-acting local anesthetics, and many surgeons now use them specifically to reduce opioid needs. Plan for real help at home for at least the first week.
