Your Tummy Tuck Procedure

A tummy tuck surgically removes excess skin from the abdomen. This also tightens abdominal muscles that may have separated during pregnancy, known as Diastasis Recti. This can create an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer. Tummy tucks are not a substitute for weight loss through diet, exercise, or surgical means.


There are many reasons people come to see us about tummy tucks, including:

  • After pregnancy, often as part of a Mommy Makeover.
  • After weight gain or loss, whether it be through diet and exercise or through surgical procedures such as gastric bypass or gastric banding.
  • Following other surgical procedures.
  • As a result of aging.

Dr. Diederich works hard to provide the latest techniques and innovations which has led him to progressive tension abdominoplasty.


This method uses sutures to close any open space in the abdomen that has the potential to collect fluid. Dr. Diederich has refined this technique using rows of progressive tension sutures to evenly distribute the tension across the abdomen.


The results? Tighter, flatter tummies with a statistically significant decreased rate of hematoma, seroma, wound breakdown, and complications! Also, drains are not needed with this technique which makes for an easier recovery.

Having a flatter, toned stomach can seem unattainable if your skin is stretched after pregnancy or weight loss. Even exercise and dieting aren’t enough to produce visible changes. That’s why many women and men choose to undergo abdominoplasty, often called a tummy tuck. Tummy tuck surgery helps patients restore confidence in their bodies after having children or losing a significant amount of weight.


Benefits of a tummy tuck include:
