Your priorities
Ask how much skin can be removed, where the scar would sit, and whether muscle repair or liposuction would help address your goals.
ENVISION · SARASOTA
Tummy Tuck in Sarasota
Explore abdominoplasty with Dr. James Kotick: abdominal contour, consultation questions, recovery planning, and related before-and-after photographs.
Understanding your options
Abdominoplasty addresses excess abdominal skin and fat. Repair of weakened or separated abdominal muscles may be part of the plan. Changes after pregnancy or weight loss are common reasons to explore this option.
A tummy tuck changes abdominal contour; it is not a weight-loss treatment. Discuss future pregnancy and weight-change plans before deciding on timing.
Planning your consultation
Recovery & support
Ask for a personalized plan for time off, activity restrictions, wound care, and follow-up. Recovery timing depends on the procedure and your health.
Risks & tradeoffs
Discuss scarring, healing problems, changes in sensation, and procedure-specific risks alongside the potential benefits. Ask about alternatives, including choosing no surgery.
A question patients ask
Will liposuction alone address my concern?
Liposuction targets fat; a tummy tuck also addresses loose skin. An examination helps distinguish which tissues contribute to your concern.
