What Is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing excess abdominal skin and fat while strengthening the underlying muscles for a firmer, flatter midsection. Over time, factors such as pregnancy, aging, or weight fluctuations can stretch your abdominal wall, leading to a loose or protruding belly. By carefully excising the extra tissue and tightening the core muscles, a tummy tuck in Dayton reshapes your midsection, restoring both function and aesthetic balance. Our board-certified surgeons at pēkomd® develop individualized treatment plans to ensure that the results complement your natural body contours and lifestyle.

Benefits of a Tummy Tuck

Tummy Tuck Techniques

At pēkomd® in Dayton, we offer several specialized tummy tuck methods to suit your needs:

Belt Lipectomy

This extensive technique removes a continuous “belt” of skin and fat around your midsection, ideal for those who have lost significant weight and need comprehensive contouring.

Diastasis Recti Repair

Specifically designed to mend the separation of abdominal muscles common after pregnancy, this repair technique restores core strength and improves abdominal appearance.

Fleur-de-Lis Abdominoplasty

For patients with both horizontal and vertical excess skin, this method uses a fleur-de-lis–shaped incision to achieve dramatic reshaping benefits.

Pubic Lift

Targeting the lower abdomen, a pubic lift removes excess tissue around the pubic area, creating a smoother transition and enhancing overall contour.

What to Expect During Your Tummy Tuck Procedure at pēkomd

Your abdominoplasty journey in Dayton begins with a detailed consultation, where our board-certified surgeons review your medical history and examine your abdominal structure. Together, we'll determine the best surgical approach—whether a mini tuck focusing on the lower abdomen or a more extensive abdominoplasty—to meet your aesthetic goals.

On the day of your surgery, you'll arrive at our accredited facility, where safety and comfort are our top priorities. Under general anesthesia, your surgeon makes discreet incisions to remove excess skin and tighten the underlying muscles, sometimes incorporating liposuction for more precise fat removal. After the procedure, you'll rest in a recovery area, and our team will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to support your healing process.

Recovering After Your Tummy Tuck Procedure

Recovery times vary, but many patients report manageable swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort during the first one to two weeks following surgery. Pain can be controlled with over-the-counter or prescribed medications, and you'll likely be advised to wear a compression garment to support the healing tissues. Light activities may be resumed within two weeks, although strenuous exercise or heavy lifting should be postponed for at least four to six weeks. Regular follow-up appointments at pēkomd® ensure that your recovery proceeds smoothly and that the final results meet your expectations as swelling diminishes and contours become more defined.

Realistic expectations and a commitment to a healthy lifestyle are essential to achieving lasting results. During your consultation, our board-certified providers assess your unique body composition and goals, ensuring that the chosen approach aligns with your needs.

Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio

I have had surgery is some of the top hospitals in Ohio and beyond. Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio, and the surrounding areas.His education, military background, and work experience speaks for itself. I have found him to be professional, highly-skilled, and he has excellent bedside manner. Dr. Markov treated me with respect, educated me about my options, and empowered me to decide what breast reconstruction option best for me. He approached my reconstruction surgery like Michelangelo to a painting. He was detailed oriented and cared about my final outcomes. I couldn't be happier with his performance. I highly recommend Dr. Markov for any cancer related or cosmetics surgery.

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down so far that I have ever experienced in my life so far and I only have had my first office visit. He is so polite, listens and exsplained in full detail. He made me feel heard and he actually listened to me as his patient and did not belittle or make me feel like i was uneducated or wrong for my reasons to be vivisting his office. Thank you to Dr. Fourman and his wonderful staff members!

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away!

My daughter first had some work done a few years ago with Dr. Straka. Of course she was/is a beautiful girl in every way, but this definitely enhanced things for her. I inherited the worst bags you could ever imagine. Getting older I thought let me do something for me! I scheduled a consult and I am truly sad that I had not gone sooner.

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away! I am only 10 days post op and I love my new look already! Cristina has been very attentive from day one. I am still being checked on today. Dr. Straka is doing great things at pekomd! I highly recommend him to anyone!!!!!!! He gets a 100 stars

Dr. Fourman and his whole team have always made me feel not judged and welcomed. They are helpful, knowledgeable, informative and take time to discuss my health. There are few physicians that don’t make patients feel comfortable and Dr. Fourman is not one. So thankful I chose him as my bariatric doctor!! Thank You for saving my life!!

I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist.

After learning I had breast cancer a second time in 2023 I opted to have a bilateral mastectomy with a DIEP flap reconstruction. I looked into 3 different doctors and while I am sure they are all very capable, I chose Dr. Markov. He was straight forward and to the point and he was local. I really liked his approach and he made me feel very comfortable. Today I had my 4 week post op appointment from the final phase of the reconstruction and I am thrilled with the results. I feel and look like myself again. Honestly they look better than they did before my mastectomy. I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist. The only thing left, if I opt to do this, is the tattooing. I am not sure if I am going to do that just yet, because they already look so good. Anyhow, I would 100 % recommend Dr. Markov.

Wish I had done this 10 years sooner.

Don't put it off any longer!
If you have thought about weight-loss surgery, Dr. Fourman is the Dr. you need to see! He's very personable, understands and is caring.I followed all the pre op instructions, did out patient, in the morning, and was up and moving around very well by that evening. He's staff is wonderful too. There are no scary front desk reception. Everyone there knows what your going through. Wish I had done this 10 years sooner. Like I said...Don't put it off for another year!

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Dr. Straka

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Dr. Straka and Kaleigh! Dr. Straka took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, answer all my questions, and walk me through the entire procedure. The follow-up care has been excellent as well, and I am so happy with my results. I highly recommend!!

Tummy Tuck Frequently Asked Questions

Ready to discover how a tummy tuck can help you look better, feel better, and ultimately do better in your daily life? Contact pēkomd® to schedule a consultation and begin your journey toward a firmer, more confident midsection.

How long do tummy tuck results usually last?

With a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle, results can be long-lasting. However, factors such as future pregnancies or significant weight changes may affect your contour over time.

Can a tummy tuck remove stretch marks?

A tummy tuck can eliminate or tighten areas of skin containing stretch marks—especially below the navel—but may not remove stretch marks in all areas.

Will I have visible scars?

Incisions are placed along the lower abdomen, where they can be easily concealed by clothing or swimwear. Scars generally fade with time and proper care.

Can a tummy tuck be combined with other procedures?

Yes, many patients combine a tummy tuck with liposuction or other body contouring treatments for a more comprehensive transformation.

Is a tummy tuck safe for those planning future pregnancies?

While a tummy tuck is generally safe, future pregnancies can affect the durability of your results. If you plan on having more children soon, it might be best to delay surgery.
