Questions & Answers

A minimum of two weeks of downtime is needed for your initial tummy tuck surgery recovery. This is, however, very dependent on the individual and some require a longer recovery period. After the initial two weeks of recovery, heavy lifting must be avoided for at least six weeks.
Dr. Barrett focuses on scar management during every step of the procedure. For his tummy tuck patients, he likes to do a very low scar so that it may be hidden in a bikini bottom. Additionally, his mindful incisions and layered closure techniques radically reduce the size and visibility of scars, while his carefully curated postoperative scar regimen ensures the biggest reminder of your procedure are your sculpted results.
Dr. Barrett has performed thousands of tummy tucks, and though it is a commonly performed procedure, all surgery comes with risks. It’s important that you choose a board-certified plastic surgeon to perform your tummy tuck, discuss your medical history and goals, and closely follow the advice of your doctor.
There are no inherent risks or contraindications to pregnancy due to a tummy tuck, though you may require a touch-up or an additional procedure to maintain your results post-pregnancy.
