With a focus on natural, balanced results, the experience goes beyond aesthetics—it’s about reclaiming strength and self-assurance.

What is a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and tighten the abdominal muscles, creating a flatter, more toned midsection. For those dealing with loose skin or weakened muscles—often after weight loss or pregnancy—it can be a truly transformative experience. Beyond physical changes, a tummy tuck can restore a sense of confidence and comfort in your body. Choosing an experienced surgeon like Dr. Ayewah ensures a personalized approach with safety, care, and results you can feel proud of.

A tummy tuck includes three main steps:

Administer anesthesia

Dr. Ayewah may administer intravenous (IV) sedation or general anesthesia based on your needs and preferences. Anesthesia improves your comfort and keeps you unconscious through the procedure.

Make the incisions

Next, Dr. Ayewah creates horizontal incisions along your pubic area and belly button to remove excess skin and reposition the remaining tissue for a flatter, smoother appearance. She may make more incisions in the upper abdomen if there’s additional excess skin.

Close the incisions

Finally, Dr. Ayewah closes the incisions with sutures to begin the healing process. She applies bandages and compression material to ensure proper healing.
Most swelling and bruising subsides within the first few weeks after tummy tuck surgery, but it can take up to six months to heal fully.
