Double Board-Certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kristopher Hamwi, MD performs tummy tuck surgery in Sarasota, Florida to help his patients achieve their dream figure. If you are interested in booking a procedure, take the next steps by scheduling a consultation today.

Whether due to aging, heredity, pregnancy, prior surgeries, or significant weight fluctuations, many patients find that their abdominal skin and muscles have stretched to what seems like a point of no return. Patients often find that they cannot alleviate this troubling condition through diet and exercise alone. However, there is a fantastic solution that can help restore a tighter, more youthful-looking midsection and self-confidence.

Tummy tucks, formally known as abdominoplasty, seek to restore and contour the midsection by removing excess skin and tightening abdominal muscles. A tummy tuck can be performed in conjunction with liposuction to reduce unwanted fat as well. Florida Plastic Surgery’s board-certified cosmetic plastic surgeon, Dr. Kristopher Hamwi, is highly qualified, Harvard-trained, and wholly dedicated to improving his patients’ lives through aesthetic plastic surgery.

My experience with Dr Hamwi was beyond amazing! I had my inner thighs and knees done and I cannot even believe my new legs are mine. They came out perfect. In my consultation Dr. Hamwi went through everything with me. During the surgery he put me at ease. After the procedure his follow up was great. Three weeks later I am in love with my results.

Florida Plastic Surgery’s primary commitment is to patient safety. Because of this, Dr. Hamwi evaluates each patient extensively before scheduling any procedure.

Dr. Hamwi generally finds that the most suitable candidates from tummy tuck surgery:

• Are in good health
• Have excess skin around the midsection
• Could reasonably benefit from this procedure
• Maintain realistic expectations
• Are at a stable weight
• Do not smoke
• Are bothered by the appearance of their abdomen

The cost of your tummy tuck will depend on several factors, including the extent of the procedure, amount of time in the operating room, and many other factors. Our team will happily provide you with a detailed estimate after you are properly evaluated by Dr. Hamwi in consultation.

Each procedure will be unique. That said, most tummy tucks last between two to three hours in the operating room under general anesthesia.

Dr. Hamwi will be there to assist you during your recovery process, just as he will be before surgery. He will provide you with a comprehensive list of instructions so that you are fully prepared to manage your recovery safely and effectively. You can also reach out to Dr. Hamwi and our team at any time with questions or concerns.

The short answer to when you can go back to work after a tummy tuck is two to six weeks. The amount of recovery time you need depends on several factors of your surgery. You may go home after the surgical procedure, but you will need help at home for a few days, especially if you have young children.
