What is a Tummy Tuck?

Tummy Tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure performed to reduce abdominal fat. The result is a slimmer and firmer abdomen.

How is a Tummy Tuck procedure done?

To perform a tummy tuck procedure, first general anaesthesia is administered. For patients with large tummies, the surgeon will cut the abdomen horizontally between the hip bones and contour the abdominal muscles, skin and tissues. The surgeon will place drainage tubes under the skin if required. Patients with fat deposits only below their navel will need a shorter and less complex procedure where the surgeon will make a smaller incision and perform key-hole surgery, inserting a small camera to see what needs to be done.

What are the alternatives to a Tummy Tuck?

Alternatives to a tummy tuck procedure are liposuction procedures, diet and exercise, and radiofrequency or laser assisted procedures to reduce abdominal fat.

What is the recovery time after a Tummy Tuck?

Patients recover from a mini or partial tummy tuck procedure within a month but full recovery after a full tummy tuck procedure will take about 6 months.

Tummy Tuck vs Mini Tummy Tuck

The full tummy tuck procedure is employed when patients require the contouring of the entire abdominal region. The procedure takes about four to five hours to complete. It takes about six months to completely recover from a tummy tuck procedure. A mini tummy tuck procedure is for patients who have excessive localized fat in their lower abdomen. The procedure is minimally invasive and takes about one hour. Patients recover from a mini tummy tuck procedure within a month.

How long does swelling last after Tummy Tuck?

Swelling after a tummy tuck procedure may last for about six months.

He is now my 'go-to' plastic surgeonStephen, South Africa, 30 03 25

From the moment I met Dr. Maresky, whom I now simply call "G," I felt all my pre-consult nervousness, which one typically brings into a plastic surgeon's office, dissipate. In no time, it felt as if I was talking to a friend. Naturally, I had a long list of "wants" (this was my opportunity to become Brad Pitt's twin!). However, with much patience, Dr. G thoroughly explained the process, and procedure, and ended with his personal and professional recommendations. We settled on a lower lid blepharoplasty with fat grafts to be placed in the hollows under my eyes. Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect from the surgery, but I just hoped for a fair result. However, the actual result blew my mind! While the change is significant, it is also so incredibly natural that I am yet to be asked if I've had any work done. I've had people say, "Wow, you're looking great! You look so well-rested/peaceful." Dr. G's bedside manner is amazing, as is his personal post-surgery patient contact care. I've already lined up a friend to book a procedure with him. He is now my 'go-to' plastic surgeon.

He has always been friendly and keeps his patients well informedHennie, South Africa, 11 01 22

I have known Dr Meintjes since 1986. Over the years, he has performed various minor surgeries on myself, my wife and our youngest daughter. His service has always been excellent, nothing too small for him. He has always been friendly and keeps his patients well informed. Always has time for the smallest of surgeries required. Hope that he will be around for a good number of years to come and wish him all of the best.

The highest quality and attention to the client. Stellendal Spa makes you feel special and the care and attention for all my appointments was exceptional. Thanks to Anneke and all the wonderful staff at Stellendal. My time spent at Stellendal accommodations for my surgical healing and spa services were very special. The care to attention and detail is a top-notch experience. I have to thank Cindy for all the PDT/LED light therapy treatments to help in my healing from facial surgery as well all my follow-up appointments with Dr. Dower were of the upmost care and attention to my healing and best results.
