Tummy Tucks – What You Need to Know

Tummy tucks, also known as abdominoplasty, correct the extra skin, excess fat, and weak abdominal muscles. This is something you cannot achieve with diet and exercise.

With or without stretch marks, if your skin is damaged, flabby, or loose, you cannot tighten up your skin and correct the damaged, stretched out skin.  Likewise, you cannot “spot reduce,” so you cannot lose more fat in your abdomen if you inherited more fat there.

This procedure is an effective cosmetic surgery for women who have stretched abdominal muscles and skin after pregnancy that is not responding to diet and exercise.  Stretch marks are frequently associated with loose skin. The stretch marks with the loose skin will be removed during a tummy tuck.

Dr. Kramer will have a detailed discussion regarding the types of tummy tucks and options for you. She has the experience and skill to give you the body contour of your dreams. Dr. Kramer is the authority and expert on tummy tucks and you can trust her to give you the most incredible results!

Dr. Kramer performs tummy tucks for residents of Wauwatosa, New Berlin, Mequon and other cities throughout Milwaukee and Waukesha areas.

What is a Tummy Tuck and Mini Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is referring to a full or standard tummy tuck, which is the most common tummy tuck. A tummy tuck surgery removes loose and hanging skin, stretch marks, extra fat, and tightens the upper and lower abdominal muscles.

Dr. Kramer can usually remove all the skin and fat from the pubic area incision to above the belly button, and the belly button stays attached on your inside.

The skin and fat that is removed is gone permanently. The weak bulging abdominal muscles are tightened with permanent stitches that are inside the body and cannot be seen. These muscle tightening stitches are like a “corset,” cinching in your waist and flattening your tummy.

The remaining skin from your upper abdomen is then pulled down tight (like a window shade is pulled down) to cover your entire abdomen. The belly button is then brought out through the new tight skin by a small incision that will be hidden in your belly button. This will give you the maximum result and a tight, toned abdomen with great, sexy curves.

A Mini tummy tuck is also referred to as a modified tummy tuck. A mini tummy tuck is best when you have good abdominal muscle tone and have minimal sagging skin or stretch marks below your belly button. If your upper abdomen looks fine and you are only unhappy with the lower abdomen below your belly button, consider a mini tummy tuck. Only the area below the belly button will have tighter skin and fat removed. These muscles may or may not be tightened depending on your physical exam.

Dr. Kramer frequently combines liposuction with a tummy tuck to remove love handles, a muffin top, and other problem areas. Rarely will a patient require a lower body lift — usually a tummy tuck with liposuction will be enough to get your body looking great.

Dr. Kramer will personally walk you through these types of tummy tucks and customize the procedure to your anatomy to give you the best body contouring results.

What to Expect from an Abdominoplasty Procedure

You can expect a thinner, tighter, flat and contoured abdomen immediately after surgery. You will find it so much easier to find clothing that fits and looks great on you since you will not have to hide your stomach anymore.

Many patients thought they would never wear a two piece swimsuit again, but after their procedure, they look great in bikinis!

Dr. Kramer is confident she has the qualified skills and detailed technique to give you the body and results you have always wanted!

Come see Dr. Kramer, the best plastic surgeon in Brookfield and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

What About The Incisions?

Dr. Kramer is known for her amazing, fine line scars. She will make sure to place the scar in a spot that can’t be seen while wearing underwear or a swimsuit.

A full or standard tummy tuck will have an incision from hip bone to hip bone, very low on the abdomen near the pubic near area. You will also have an incision that is hidden inside your belly button.

A mini tummy tuck usually has a shorter scar on the abdomen and no incision in the belly button.

Are the Results Permanent and Safe?

Tummy tuck results are permanent and are one of Dr. Kramer’s most popular cosmetic procedures. You can maintain your results by not gaining weight. Tummy and ab exercises that used to not change your shape frequently become effective and after a tummy tuck has tightened your muscle wall.

Tummy tucks are a safe, popular, and common body contouring procedure and not a weight loss surgery.

See Dr. Kramer, a licensed, qualified surgeon with over 20 years of experience to get the best tummy tuck in Milwaukee and surrounding cities – Brookfield, Wauwatosa, New Berlin, Muskego, and Elm Grove.

How Long Is the Recovery Time?

You will be able to leave Dr. Kramer’s office when your tummy tuck is finished. You will have a Velcro tummy tuck binder on to help minimize tummy tuck swelling. You will need to rest for 1-2 weeks and no strenuous exercise or activity should be done for 4-6 weeks.

You will have drains that are simple to manage and usually removed within a week. All sutures are under the skin and will dissolve so no stitches need to be removed.

Unlike other abdominal surgery—such as a C-Section or hysterectomy—a tummy tuck does not cut the abdominal muscle. Therefore, the discomfort from a tummy tuck is significantly less and easily managed with pain medication. Most patients only require pain medication for the first 3-4 days.

Follow Dr. Kramer’s instructions to reduce complications and get your best result. Your smooth, firm tummy results are immediate and long lasting. It is important to have a healthy lifestyle and to keep your weight the same to maintain your great new figure.

How Much Does a Tummy Tuck Cost in Wisconsin?

The cost of a tummy tuck will depend on whether you have a full or mini tummy tuck and if liposuction is also performed for body contouring. The tummy tuck cost is very affordable considering the amazing tummy you will see in the mirror. Nothing will make you happier than feeling confident and looking great.

We offer cost effective cosmetic surgery financing options. Many patients take advantage of credit card offers with 12 to 18 months interest free.

The thought of tummy tuck surgery can make some patients feel nervous, but we invite you to schedule your free consultation with Dr. Kramer to address any concerns and any questions you have regarding the procedure, so that you can make a fully informed and confident choice!

Tummy Tuck Testimonials

“I did my research to find a great doctor and after some interviews I found Dr Kramer. I had numerous consultations with other doctors and Dr Kramer was the only doctor who took time in our initial consultation to explain exactly what was going to happen. Dr Kramer even took time to explain recovery times and medication doses to my husband. My results were beyond my expectations. I would recommend Dr Kramer to anyone looking to have any body work done. Results are fantastic and she is just a great doctor.”
