Rating: 4.5 (478 reviews)

At Bespoke Plastic Surgery, Dr. Broc Pratt provides an inclusive and compassionate approach to plus-sized tummy tucks, offering personalized procedures for those with higher BMIs. Unlike traditional tummy tucks, a plus-sized tummy tuck is customized to address excess abdominal skin, fat, and muscle laxity in patients who may not be eligible for standard procedures due to their BMI. Dr. Pratt's approach is rooted in safety, comfort, and understanding of each patient’s unique anatomy, ensuring results that enhance your natural silhouette and boost your self-confidence.

What is a Plus-Sized Tummy Tuck?

A plus-sized tummy tuck, or high-BMI abdominoplasty, is tailored for patients with a BMI over 30 who may face challenges with abdominal contour, sagging skin, and weakened abdominal muscles. The procedure involves an in-depth surgical approach that considers the specific needs of individuals with higher BMIs. It’s designed to improve the waistline, remove stubborn fat, and tighten abdominal muscles for a more proportionate and balanced figure. Dr. Pratt combines his experience with an artistic eye, ensuring the final result complements the body’s natural curves and enhances the overall aesthetic.

Benefits of a Plus-Sized Tummy Tuck

Enhanced Contours: By removing excess skin and tightening muscles, a more defined, sculpted midsection is achieved.
Reduced Discomfort: Skin irritation, infections, and discomfort caused by skin folds are alleviated, improving overall comfort.
Boost in Confidence: Achieving a smoother, firmer midsection often leads to improved self-esteem and body positivity.

In addition to these benefits, Dr. Pratt’s advanced techniques allow for optimal contouring, resulting in smoother, more aesthetically pleasing outcomes. By integrating liposuction for additional shaping, he ensures that all angles of the torso are addressed, contributing to a balanced and hourglass figure.

Candidacy for a Plus-Sized Tummy Tuck

Unlike more generalized criteria, Dr. Pratt carefully evaluates each candidate to ensure a plus-sized tummy tuck is the right choice. Ideal candidates include:

Those Who Are Committed to a Stable Weight: While a plus-sized tummy tuck is not a weight-loss procedure, it is best suited for those who are close to their goal weight but struggle with excess skin and fat in the abdominal area.
Healthy Lifestyle and Habits: Non-smokers with good physical health make the best candidates. Dr. Pratt emphasizes that those with chronic health issues should have them under control before surgery.
Post-Pregnancy or Weight Loss: Those who have experienced muscle separation, skin laxity, or stubborn fat deposits post-pregnancy or significant weight loss.
Desire for an Improved Silhouette: If you're seeking an enhanced and more proportional figure but have been denied surgery due to BMI restrictions, this tailored procedure can help achieve your aesthetic goals.

Dr. Pratt believes that BMI should not be an arbitrary barrier to achieving body confidence. He performs comprehensive evaluations to ensure that each patient is safe for surgery and ready for the transformative journey.

The Procedure

Dr. Pratt employs a personalized approach to your body's unique structure and goals during your plus-sized tummy tuck. The procedure begins with a thorough consultation to discuss your concerns and desired outcomes. On the day of surgery, Dr. Pratt creates a horizontal incision above the pubic mound, allowing access to remove excess skin and fat and tighten the abdominal muscles. If necessary, liposuction is also used to sculpt the flanks and waist, providing a comprehensive 360-degree contour.

The following are the types of tummy tucks often considered for plus-sized patients:

Standard Tummy Tuck: Best for those who need improvement below the belly button with moderate skin excess.
Extended Tummy Tuck: For those requiring more extensive removal, addressing skin that wraps around the hips.
Circumferential Tummy Tuck: This procedure is ideal for those who have experienced significant weight loss. It targets both the abdomen and waistline.

With precision and care, Dr. Pratt’s incisions are designed to be well-hidden, typically under swimwear or underwear lines, ensuring natural-looking results and minimal visible scarring.

Your Recovery

Recovery from a plus-sized tummy tuck is an important step in the journey to a new shape. Dr. Pratt provides comprehensive post-surgical guidance to ensure a safe and smooth recovery process:

Initial Weeks (one to two): Focus on rest, managing discomfort, and light movement, such as walking around the house to encourage circulation.
Weeks Three to Six: Gradual reintroduction to regular activities, but avoidance of heavy lifting and strenuous exercise.
Week Six and Beyond: Once Dr. Pratt gives the go-ahead, most patients can fully return to daily routines, including exercise.

During recovery, you may need to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support your new abdominal contour. Dr. Pratt is committed to personalized aftercare, ensuring that patients are supported and comfortable throughout their healing journey.
