The Plus-Size Hourglass Tummy Tuck Unveiled: How It’s Done

The hourglass tummy tuck is all about embracing those curves while saying goodbye to extra skin. Designed specifically for rocking a plus-size vibe, this tummy tuck does wonders in slimming and contouring, giving your midsection a makeover.

But how exactly does Dr. Nick Masri perform this life-changing procedure? Here are the steps in a plus-size hourglass tummy tuck:

Step 1: Anesthesia

First, you’re given general anesthesia, meaning you’ll sleep throughout the process. Your board-certified and experienced anesthesiologist ensures you’re comfortable and stable during the surgery.

The whole tummy tuck procedure usually takes around 4-5 hours, depending on how big the extent of the surgery is.

Step 2: Tummy Tuck

For the actual plus size tummy tuck, Dr. Masri crafts a neat incision along your lower abdomen, from hip bone to hip bone. This ensures the scar won’t be visible even when wearing the skimpiest bikinis.

The goal is to eliminate excess skin and fat in your abdominal area. Your abdominal muscles are also tightened up for that flatter, firmer look.

Step 3: Closing Incisions

Once the surgery is done, the surgeon seals the incision with sutures or surgical staples. And to make sure you’re healing well, a comfy compression garment will be applied to your operative area.

Step 4: Recovery

After the extended tummy tuck surgery, expect swelling and bruising in your abdominal area.

Patience is your new best friend. Swelling will not stick around forever — it could last for a few days to weeks and lets your body heal all the way.

Remember to rest and not engage in heavy physical activities right after surgery. You should also get a break from strenuous activity for about six weeks.

The only thing you must remember is to start walking as soon as possible to ensure healthy blood circulation and prevent blood clots from forming.

As for sleeping positions, avoid back or front sleeping for a while – those surgical sites should remain pressure-free. Instead, sleep on your side for better healing.

You may sit up, but avoid prolonged sitting for the first two weeks to prevent wounds from opening or inviting infections.

Once completely healed after a few weeks, expect a flatter, tighter, smoother tummy coupled with an hourglass figure.
