If you’ve had multiple pregnancies or have lost significant weight around your midsection, you may be an ideal candidate for a tummy tuck at SynergyMD plastic surgery. Dr. Joseph Brown, our board-certified plastic surgeon, combines skin removal, liposuction, and muscle repair for exceptional outcomes. We’d love to show you what’s possible during a consultation here in Tampa, FL.
Is It Right for Me?
Tummy tucks are best suited for people who are near their goal weight or those who have recently lost a significant amount of weight and have excess skin and unresponsive fat. It is often incorporated into a mommy makeover treatment plan to address the effects of childbirth and breastfeeding.
While a tummy tuck can enhance your entire silhouette, it is not a weight loss solution. During your consultation with Dr. Brown, he will provide a careful analysis of your health history and other factors to determine if a tummy tuck is the right solution for your needs.
“Organized. Professional. Highly-skilled. Trustworthy. Do these words describe Dr. Brown and his team at SynergyMD? Yes…The sincere concern for my well-being throughout the process has been amazing…I appreciate and respect the team for always making me feel important and valued as their patient. As for my surgery results, nothing short of life-changing can be said to describe how happy I am.”

Tummy Tuck Options
We offer several types of abdominoplasty at our Tampa, FL, office. The right one for you will depend on your goals. All our options are outpatient procedures, and most are combined with VASER® liposuction to further enhance the results.
Full Tummy Tuck
A full tummy tuck addresses the excess skin and fat in the upper and lower abdomen. The incision is made along the bikini line, so it is easily concealed after surgery. It can achieve dramatic effects, including repairing damaged muscles.
Mini Tummy Tuck
A mini abdominoplasty removes excess skin in the lower abdomen between your belly button and pubic area. This is a great option for those who have a small pouch, or "baby bulge," that won't respond to diet and exercise.
Reverse Tummy Tuck
Instead of focusing on excess fat and skin in the lower abdomen, a reverse tummy tuck removes excess tissue from the upper abdomen. Incisions for this procedure are made along the breast folds and the skin is pulled up toward the lower chest to tighten.
Extended Tummy Tuck
This procedure is best for people who have undergone a weight loss transformation. This procedure addresses excess tissue around your entire waist rather than just your abdomen. Due to the excess abdominal skin and fat removal, the incision is longer.
Lipoabdominoplasty
Dr. Brown excels at this specialized procedure. He combines a full tummy tuck with liposculpture to enhance abdominal contours and create incredible definition. Liposuction is used not only in the abdomen but also in the hips and flanks, giving you a defined figure.
Hourglass Tummy Tuck
The hourglass tummy tuck combines three surgeries in one to give you the ultimate silhouette: full tummy tuck to slim and smooth your midsection; liposculpture to remove unwanted pockets of fat; and a Brazilian butt lift to enhance the shape and size of your buttocks.
Understanding VASER Liposuction
Dr. Brown almost always performs liposuction with tummy tuck procedures for truly stunning results. While he offers other options, he prefers VASER liposuction. This type of liposuction uses ultrasound waves to loosen fat cells and make them easier to remove. While the ultrasound waves disrupt the fat cells, they don't harm surrounding tissue, making VASER liposuction a gentler option than many alternatives.
With VASER liposuction, Dr. Brown can precisely sculpt your figure, and you can experience less swelling, pain, and downtime.
Tummy Tuck FAQ
Will I have visible scarring?
While the incision for a tummy tuck is longer than a C-section incision, scars are very thin and easily hidden behind underwear or a bikini bottom. Thanks to Dr. Brown's refined techniques, the scars also heal extremely well, becoming increasingly hard to see as they heal. Take some time to view our photo gallery and see the healed scars and how well they can be concealed.
How can I help fade my tummy tuck scar?
Your tummy tuck scar will flatten and fade on its own over the course of several months, but if you want to help minimize its appearance, there are some things you can do. Protect your scar from the sun, especially as it heals. You can also use scar creams once the scar has completely healed.
Do you accept financing?
We do! The financing options at our Tampa office are CareCredit®, PatientFi®, and Alphaeon®.
How long should I rest after my procedure?
Recovery times vary based on factors like the type of tummy tuck you receive, but you should rest and minimize physical activity for one to two weeks after your cosmetic procedure. If you have a desk job, you can likely return to work in about four to five days. Put off all strenuous activities for at least six weeks to minimize the risk of complications and ensure the best possible results.
Will my results be permanent?
Results are long-lasting, but factors like aging, pregnancy, and weight gain will change the appearance of your abdomen. We recommend receiving a tummy tuck once you’re finished having children and are close to your goal weight.
Do You Still Have Questions?
“Dr. Brown and his team were amazing start to finish. If you view his work and you are happy with other results just book the consultation. After you sit with him for about 10 minutes you will had already known they are the right choice. Extremely knowledgeable, great bed side manner, and overall great team. They answered any questions I had quickly and were very attentive throughout the whole process. I would recommend this team to anyone! The results speak for themselves. Thank you Dr. Brown!!”
