Want to achieve a firmer, flatter abdomen? Under the care of Dr. Alberico Sessa, we help men and women achieve lasting results through abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck. Whether you visit us from Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, or Palmetto, our team at Sarasota Surgical Arts will guide you through every step of your tummy tuck near Manatee County, FL.

What Is Tummy Tuck Surgery?

A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess abdominal skin and fat while tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles. Pregnancy, significant weight loss, and aging commonly stretch the abdominal wall in ways that diet and exercise alone cannot reverse. Dr. Sessa customizes the procedure based on the patient's anatomy and the degree of correction needed.

Tummy Tuck Surgery

Types of Tummy Tuck Procedures

Dr. Sessa offers several types of abdominoplasty for Manatee County patients, including:

Full Tummy Tuck

A full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdomen by tightening weakened muscles and removing excess skin above and below the navel. This option is commonly chosen by patients with moderate to significant skin laxity.

Mini Tummy Tuck

A mini tummy tuck focuses on the lower abdomen and uses a smaller incision. It is typically appropriate for patients with mild skin looseness limited to the area below the belly button.

Extended Tummy Tuck

An extended tummy tuck improves contour across the abdomen and flanks. It is often recommended for patients who have experienced substantial weight loss and have excess skin extending around the sides of the torso.

Fleur-de-lis Tummy Tuck

A fleur-de-lis tummy tuck removes excess skin both vertically and horizontally. This approach is helpful for patients with significant skin laxity following major weight changes, allowing for more comprehensive reshaping.

Reverse Tummy Tuck

A reverse tummy tuck targets loose skin in the upper abdomen. The incision is placed along the natural crease beneath the breasts, making it suitable for patients whose primary concern is upper abdominal laxity.

Benefits of Tummy Tuck for Manatee County Patients

Choosing a tummy tuck can provide meaningful improvements in both appearance and comfort, including:

  • A smoother midsection with excess skin and weakened tissue removed
  • Repaired abdominal muscles for improved core support and definition
  • Enhanced waistline contour and more balanced body proportions
  • Better-fitting clothing, professional attire, and swimwear
  • Relief from skin irritation caused by overlapping abdominal folds
  • Long-lasting results when supported by a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle

Liposuction and Tummy Tuck Combination

Liposuction is often combined with abdominoplasty to further refine the waistline and flanks. While a tummy tuck addresses skin and muscle, liposuction removes localized fat deposits that resist exercise. Together, they deliver a more balanced, natural contour. Dr. Sessa integrates both techniques when appropriate to ensure the abdomen blends harmoniously with the surrounding body.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • How much does a tummy tuck cost in Florida?

    In Florida, the average cost of a tummy tuck is $7,932. At Sarasota Surgical Arts, tummy tuck surgery for Manatee County patients starts at $5,100. The final price depends on the extent of correction, the complexity of the procedure, and whether it’s combined with other treatments.

  • How much weight will a tummy tuck take off?

    A tummy tuck is not a weight-loss procedure. Most Manatee County patients lose only a few pounds from removed skin and tissue, but the visual change in abdominal contour is often significantly more noticeable than the number on the scale.

  • What disqualifies you from a tummy tuck?

    Uncontrolled medical conditions, active smoking, unstable weight, or plans for future pregnancy may delay or disqualify candidacy. A thorough medical evaluation is essential before scheduling surgery.

  • What is the best age to get a tummy tuck in Manatee County?

    There is no specific best age to get a tummy tuck in Manatee County. Many patients choose surgery once they have completed childbearing or reached a stable weight, whether in their 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond. Overall health and realistic expectations matter more than age.
