• Tummy tuck cost in Queens, NY: Typically $12,500–$14,500, depending on technique and extent.

• Candidacy: Best for patients with loose abdominal skin, stubborn fat, or muscle separation after pregnancy/weight loss.

• Recovery: 1–2 weeks of downtime; full recovery takes several months.

• Results: Flatter, more toned midsection; results vary by individual.

• Risks: Swelling, bruising, scarring, and rare complications.

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty procedure, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles.

• Full tummy tuck: Addresses the upper and lower abdomen, often including muscle repair.

• Mini tummy tuck: Focuses only on the lower abdomen below the belly button.

Patients seek this surgery to:

• Eliminate loose, hanging skin.

• Correct diastasis recti (muscle separation).

• Achieve a smoother, firmer abdominal contour.

A tummy tuck may be right for you if you:

• Have stretched or sagging abdominal skin.

• Struggle with bulging muscles after pregnancy.

• Maintain a stable, healthy weight but still have stubborn belly fat.

• Are in good overall health and a non-smoker.

Not ideal candidates:

• Women planning future pregnancies.

• Patients with uncontrolled medical conditions.

• Anyone seeking weight-loss surgery (tummy tucks are contouring, not weight-loss procedures).

Your abdominoplasty procedure at Leva Medical typically includes:

1. Consultation: We review your medical history, goals, and physical exam.

2. Surgery: Performed in a certified surgical facility under anesthesia.

   • Duration: 2–4 hours.

   • Incision made low on the abdomen (hidden under clothing).

   • Skin and fat removed; muscles tightened.

3. Aftercare: You go home the same day or after a short stay. A compression garment is worn to minimize swelling and support healing.

• Flatter, more toned abdomen.

• Improved waistline definition.

• Better posture from tightened abdominal muscles.

• Clothing fits more comfortably.

Results are long-lasting when paired with a healthy lifestyle — though natural aging and weight fluctuations can affect outcomes.
