Dr. F. Jorge Gonzalez performs customized tummy tucks in Orlando, FL, using advanced techniques for discreet scars, enhanced recovery, and natural-looking results. This cosmetic surgery at Le Contour Aesthetic Surgery allows men and women the opportunity to attain a tighter tummy and ultimate confidence.
Before having my consultation with Dr. Gonzalez, I visited 3 other surgeons… My idea was a little crazy because I am very thin and still none of them said no to anything, something that generated in me distrust. Dr. Gonzalez listened to the changes I wanted and guided me through my procedure so that my skin would not suffer and still achieve the results I desired. I must say that 5 stars is not enough because the trust given was enough for me not to look any further. My operation, pre-operative and my follow-up consultations prove it to me, HAPPY with my result.

Dr. Gonzalez uses several tummy tuck techniques, depending on the patient’s goals and anatomical starting point. He will discuss the best method for your aesthetic goals at your consultation.
Also called a traditional tummy tuck, this technique involves:
This technique is ideal for patients with a lower belly “pooch” and less excess skin. It includes:
This abdominoplasty technique is similar to a standard tummy tuck but more extensive. It involves:
This technique is similar to the extended tummy tuck, with an even longer incision and more core tightening. It includes everything an extended tummy tuck involves:
Also called lipoabdominoplasty, this is a procedure that combines a tummy tuck with liposuction or high-definition (HD) liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, and back for the ultimate sculpting of the abdomen or entire midsection, depending on the patient’s goals and needs.
When abdominoplasty surgery is completed, you will be carefully examined and sent home wearing a compression garment to assist with swelling and encourage smooth contours as you heal. Following post-operative instructions carefully is essential for a smooth recovery.
Standing upright and walking will be challenging for a while, so you should take it easy for several days. Walking becomes less painful once the abdominal muscles adjust and the incision heals. Light walking is encouraged within one to two days after surgery to promote circulation and prevent blood clots.
You can generally resume a regular routine and return to work within two weeks. Workouts can begin around six to eight weeks or earlier if Dr. Gonzalez gives you permission. You may experience some discomfort and tightness, but you will feel healthy and normal again once healed.
After the swelling has subsided and you can stand up straight, you’ll start to get a picture of your final tummy tuck results. It can take two weeks before your results start to become apparent.
The tummy tuck scar can take several months or up to a year to fade. Proper incision care, such as the use of silicone gel strips, can help with scarring.
You can expect to enjoy your new slim, toned figure for years. It is important to lead a healthy lifestyle to maintain your results, although many patients find they have the motivation to keep their figure looking good.
No. You may lose a few pounds of skin and fat, but a tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure. For outstanding results, patients should be at or near their goal weight before undergoing surgery. If stubborn fat pockets in the midsection are a concern, Dr. Gonzalez can combine your tummy tuck with liposuction to provide additional sculpting and fat removal.
If the stretch marks are located on the lower abdomen, a tummy tuck may remove them along with excess skin. If they are located elsewhere, such as on the hips or upper abdomen, a tummy tuck will not remove them. However, tightening the skin can reduce the appearance of stretch marks on the abdomen. Additionally, if stretch marks are a concern, we can recommend non-surgical treatments, such as microneedling, to even out the skin tone.
Incisions for your abdominoplasty will vary depending on the technique used. During all tummy tucks, Dr. Gonzalez uses the thinnest incisions needed to minimize scarring. He also places incisions in areas that are less visible (through the belly button or in the pubic region) so they may be hidden by underwear or a swimsuit. Following your tummy tuck, it is essential to follow your scar management instructions carefully so that your sutures heal properly and eventually blend into your natural skin.
Although you can get pregnant following an abdominoplasty, it will likely affect your results. Dr. Gonzalez strongly encourages you to finish building your family before you get an abdominoplasty. If you do become pregnant following your initial tummy tuck, another surgery may be scheduled to rejuvenate your abdomen.
Many patients get a second body surgery with an abdominoplasty to attain more dramatic results. At your initial consultation with Dr. Gonzalez, talk to him about your goals so a personalized surgical plan may be created to match your aesthetic goals. You might combine abdominoplasty with a thighplasty for a lower body lift to rejuvenate your figure after having children or losing a lot of weight. You can also combine a tummy tuck with non-surgical treatments like BodyTite for added skin tightening.
