2. WHAT IS A TUMMY
TUCK?
A tummy tuck is a body
contouring procedure that
tightens abdominal muscles
and eliminates excess skin
and fat in the abdominal
region. The end result is a
more toned, flat stomach
appearance.
Dr. Dean Kleto will customize
your tummy tuck based on
your unique body type and
aesthetic goals.
3. AFTER PREGNANCY
A tummy tuck can help
address many of the
changes to your
abdominal region caused
by pregnancy. Loose or
stretched abdominal
muscles are tightened
and stretch marks are
eliminated to restore a
more toned stomach
appearance.
Significant weight loss
can often leave you with
loose, hanging skin. A
tummy tuck can help put
the finishing touches on
your weight loss efforts
by eliminating this
excess skin and
tightening your
abdominal region.

6. TUMMY TUCK TECHNIQUES
FULL TUMMY TUCK
Addresses the entire abdominal region
(above and below belly button)
Longer incision (from hip to hip) and
produces a larger scar
More comprehensive procedure with a
longer recovery
Ideal for men and women who need more
extensive tightening of the entire
abdominal region
MINI TUMMY TUCK
Focuses on the lower abdominal area
(below the belly button)
Smaller incision that produces a shorter
scar
Less comprehensive procedure which
produces more limited results
Ideal for men and women who only require
a moderate amount of tightening
7. You'll experience mild swelling and bruising after surgery. This will gradually
subside as your body heals. Dr. Kleto will prescribe medication to manage
any discomfort you may experience. You'll need to wear a compression
garment for several weeks to help reduce swelling and improve your final
outcome.
RECOVERY AFTER A TUMMY TUCK
8. Avoid exercise, heavy lifting
and other strenuous activities

active and fit in order to
maintain your beautiful results.
