How a Tummy Tuck Helps After Weight Loss
Skin stretched by significant weight gain or pregnancy often loses its elasticity and doesn’t shrink to fit smaller body contours after weight loss. This results in excess, hanging skin around the abdomen and waist. This skin can cause discomfort and hygiene issues and keep clothes from fitting properly, even after reaching your goal weight.
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is designed to:
For many post-weight loss patients, a tummy tuck is more than cosmetic—it's restorative. It marks the final, empowering step in a life-changing transformation.
Dr. Khan’s Approach to Tummy Tuck After Major Weight Loss
Not all tummy tucks are created equal, especially after significant weight loss. Dr. Khan tailors each procedure to your body’s unique needs, selecting the most appropriate technique to safely and effectively remove excess skin and sculpt a more comfortable, confident shape.
For post-weight loss patients, Dr. Khan may recommend:
Extended Abdominoplasty
Ideal for patients with excess skin extending beyond the abdomen to the flanks or lower back.
Liposuction
Often combined with abdominoplasty to refine the waistline and address stubborn fat deposits.
Fleur-de-Lis Abdominoplasty
Best for significant skin laxity in both vertical and horizontal directions, creating a tighter, more contoured midsection.
Dr. Khan uses advanced pain management techniques customized to your needs—including tumescent anesthesia, Exparel® injections, and pain catheter pumps—to support a more comfortable recovery.
Remove excess, stretched abdominal skin
Repair separated or weakened abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
Refine the waistline and lower belly contour
Support long-term confidence and comfort in your body

Tummy Tuck FAQ
Will insurance cover my tummy tuck after weight loss?
In most cases, tummy tuck surgery is considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance. However, if excess skin is causing medical issues, some costs may be eligible for coverage. Our team can help you explore your options.
How long is recovery from abdominoplasty?
Most people need about 2 weeks of downtime before returning to nonstrenuous work, with full recovery taking several weeks to months. Dr. Khan will provide personalized guidance to support a safe, smooth healing process.
Can I combine a tummy tuck with other procedures?
Yes. Many patients combine a tummy tuck with an arm, thigh, or breast lift to address multiple areas at once. Dr. Khan will discuss the best approach based on your goals and health.
Will I have a scar after tummy tuck surgery?
Yes, a scar is a natural part of the healing process. However, it's typically placed low on the abdomen and easily hidden by underwear or swimwear. Over time, the scar tends to fade significantly.
