Tummy Tuck
What Is a Tummy Tuck?
- This popular cosmetic plastic surgery procedure, also known as abdominoplasty, is designed to remove excess fat and skin from your midsection.
- A tummy tuck also tightens loose abdominal muscles, giving your stomach a toned, rejuvenated appearance.
What Is Abdominoplasty?
In this video, Dr. Ramon Robles explains what a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is and who a tummy tuck is for. Most of his tummy tuck patients are women who have had multiple children and whose skin has stretched from pregnancy. Dr. Robles uses techniques that involve minimal trauma to the area so that patients have an easy and quick recovery.
An Amazing Tummy Tuck Transformation
Omyra's Story
In this tummy tuck testimonial, Omyra discusses her experience at Robles Plastic Surgery. Omyra lost a lot of weight on her own and needed a tummy tuck for her excess skin. Dr. Robles gave her the confidence to move forward with the procedure.
Life-Changing Benefits for You and Your Body
Dr. Robles helps patients throughout Phoenix, Scottsdale, Avondale, Glendale, and Mesa, AZ, experience valuable benefits through abdominoplasty:
Although other procedures can help you reduce excess fat, a tummy tuck is the only way to remove excess skin as well.
While non-surgical skin tightening can take months to show results, tummy tuck surgery produces immediate results.
As long as you follow a good diet and exercise routine, the results of a tummy tuck can last many years.
Did You Know Tummy Tucks Have Medical Benefits?
Improved Posture
Loose abdominal muscles that are tightened by Dr. Robles can better support your spine, helping you stand straighter and taller. This can make you look more confident and energetic.
Reduced Back Pain
Slouching caused by excess stomach fat and weakened abdominal muscles can cause your back to ache. An improved posture due to a tummy tuck can straighten your spine, reducing back pain.
Makes Exercising Easier
Many of Dr. Robles' Scottsdale- and Phoenix-area patients find that exercising is easier after excess midsection fat and skin have been removed with a tummy tuck.

Take a Look at the Tummy Tuck Process
Kinds of Tummy Tucks Performed by Dr. Robles
- Standard (Full) Abdominoplasty
- This procedure removes excess skin and fat tissue in the belly area from the navel to the pubic bone. Dr. Robles will make an incision from hip to hip to tighten the abdominal muscles and perform liposuction on the belly and the hips to create a beautifully contoured shape.
- Mini Abdominoplasty
- This procedure is performed for patients with a mild to moderate amount of stubborn fat tissue and excess skin in the lower abdomen below the navel. Dr. Robles will make a small incision below the navel to tighten the abdominal muscles. Liposuction can also be used in the abdomen, hips, and back to create a flatter, tighter, and more youthful appearance.
Is a Tummy Tuck the Solution I Need? Contact Dr. Robles for More Information
Your abdominoplasty should not be considered a way to lose weight. Dr. Robles will suggest you think of it more as the final step in reshaping and enhancing the contours of your body when stretched skin will not conform to your contours and stubborn fat tissue doesn't respond to diet and exercise.
Dr. Robles can explain more about the difference between weight loss and tummy tucks during your free consultation. Contact us today using our online form or call us to schedule an honest, informative discussion about your cosmetic goals with our top-rated plastic surgeon.

I had a great experience with Dr. Robles. He is very honest with his feedback and compassionate about his patients. From the start he was respectful with what I wanted done and reasonable. He also uses a precise technique that allows the recovery process to be much quicker than average! It has been almost a year now and I’m very happy with the results. Very grateful I chose him & would definitely (& do!) recommend to others.

Tummy Tuck Cost and Payment Options
Cost
The cost of your procedure will depend on its complexity. Our Phoenix practice will provide you with a free quote during your consultation.
Payment
Medical insurance usually doesn't cover tummy tucks unless it serves a practical purpose. Patients can use a credit card, but interest rates are high.
Financing
Our practice offers CareCredit® financing, to make out-of-pocket costs affordable to our patients.
Am I a Good Tummy Tuck Candidate?
Generally, good candidates for an abdominoplasty include patients who are:
Non-smokers
Smoking can inhibit healing. If you are a smoker who wants to undergo a tummy tuck, you should quit several months in advance and plan to drop the habit permanently.
Done Having Children
Pregnancy can stretch your skin, reversing the results of your procedure.
Close to Target Weight
A tummy tuck isn't a weight loss treatment - instead, it is intended to put the finishing touches on a weight loss achievement or restore your figure after childbirth. You should be within 30 pounds of your goal weight and plan to maintain a healthy weight after surgery since fluctuation can reverse the effects.In Good Health
Suffering from medical conditions like heart disease or uncontrolled diabetes may make tummy tuck surgery unsafe.
