Under the care of Dr. Melinda Miller-Thrasher, MD, a tummy tuck at Innovative Surgical Arts is fully customized — designed around your anatomy, your goals, and your life.
Every result is as individual as the patient. These outcomes reflect the tailored approach Dr. Miller-Thrasher brings to every tummy tuck procedure.
Abdominoplasty removes excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying muscles — delivering a flatter, more toned abdomen that diet and exercise alone can't always achieve.
A tummy tuck removes stubborn fatty deposits, tightens loose skin, and repairs separated abdominal muscles (diastasis) caused by pregnancy or significant weight changes. It's ideal for those who are unhappy with excess skin or loss of abdominal tone that hasn't responded to lifestyle changes.
An incision is made along the lower abdomen, above or at the pubic line, to access underlying tissues. Liposuction removes unwanted fat, abdominal muscles are sutured back together if needed, and excess skin is trimmed before closing. You'll rest comfortably throughout under anesthesia.
Arrange for a friend or family member to drive you home and assist for the first week. Plan for swelling, bruising, and some discomfort for several weeks post-op. A pre-op visit will be scheduled to review expectations, draw labs, and confirm your surgical date. The anesthesia team will follow up with specific preparation instructions.
Ideal candidates are near their goal weight, in good health, and have realistic expectations. Your consultation with Dr. Miller-Thrasher will determine candidacy — she may recommend weight loss prior to surgery or stage your procedure to maximize results and safety.
