Dr. Frank’s Approach to Tummy Tuck
Dr. Frank meets directly with patients during an initial consultation to learn what they want to achieve with a tummy tuck. Typical concerns that patients express include:
- For optimal results, patients must have a BMI of 32 or lower to qualify as a tummy tuck candidate.
- Diet and exercise don’t seem to affect the loose skin and fat around their abdomen.
- Patients feel uncomfortable about their appearance, particularly at the beach or when they are undressed.
- The excess skin prevents them from wearing certain types of clothes or exercising comfortably.

How Tummy Tuck Works
Dr. Frank can evaluate patients to determine whether they are a good candidate for a tummy tuck surgery. In particular, he informs patients that:
- The procedure is not a weight-loss surgery; it specifically targets excess skin and areas of fat around the mid-section.
- Because tummy tuck surgery creates a scar, it offers certain aesthetic benefits and trade-offs.
At the conclusion of the initial consultation, patients receive a quote for everything excluding postoperative medications. Dr. Frank helps patients understand the final cost they can expect, including items such as surgical facility charges and anesthesia, so that they can make an informed decision.
Tummy Tuck Surgery: What To Expect
After preoperative testing, consent forms, and scheduling, patients receive tummy tuck surgery in an accredited facility. This signifies the facility’s commitment to the highest level of patient safety and patient care. During the tummy tuck surgery:
- Patients receive general anesthesia so that they can remain comfortable.
- Dr. Frank excises the unwanted skin and fat.
- He places permanent stitches to align and strengthen the abdominal muscles.
Dr. Frank also uses a local anesthetic in the area of the surgery. This is a three-day acting, non-narcotic anesthetic that helps patients limit pain during their recuperation is available at a small additional cost.
Recovery From Tummy Tuck Surgery
Dr. Frank and our staff see patients for follow-up visits throughout their recovery. Most patients will have drains for about two weeks, which assists with the healing process.* Patients can usually return to work when we remove the drains.* Dr. Frank is now offering a drain-free alternative to Tummy Tucks allowing his patients to get back to their daily routines much sooner.
Dr. Frank encourages those in his care to limit activity to light exercise during recovery, such as walking or riding a bike. Most can return to non-abdominal exercise in about 3-4 weeks and abdominal exercise by the end of six weeks.*
Patients usually see a huge improvement in their body’s contour by the time Dr. Frank removes the drains. Within two months, they should realize their final results.*
