Abdominoplasty
A tummy tuck addresses the root causes of abdominal contour problems: it repairs separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), removes excess skin and eliminates resistant fat, restoring both function and form to your core. It is a contouring procedure — not a weight-loss procedure.
Schedule NowTailored to Your Anatomy
Dr. Roham matches the technique to what your abdomen needs: a full abdominoplasty (including repositioning the belly button), a mini tummy tuck for concerns below the navel, an extended tummy tuck that reaches the flanks and lower back, or a circumferential body lift — with muscle repair and liposuction where they help.
His general surgery residency, managing complex abdominal procedures, brings precise anatomical knowledge to every repair.
The best candidates have completed childbearing, are at or near a stable target weight, are in good overall health, are non-smokers (or able to quit), and have realistic expectations about scarring and recovery.
A personal consultation is the only way to know which approach fits your body — most patients return to light activities and non-strenuous work in three to six weeks, with final results apparent at two to six months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Results are permanent regarding muscle repair and skin removal, though future pregnancy or significant weight gain can compromise them. Maintaining a stable weight preserves your results.
The scar runs horizontally across the lower abdomen at the bikini line. While permanent, most scars fade significantly over 12–18 months and stay hidden under normal underwear or swimwear.
Liposuction removes fat only and works best with good skin elasticity. A tummy tuck also repairs separated muscles and removes excess skin. Many patients benefit from both.
Light walking starts right away. Most exercise can resume around 6–8 weeks, with full unrestricted activity typically cleared by 10–12 weeks.
