What Is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a body contouring procedure to flatten, firm, and smooth the abdomen by removing unwanted fat, tightening stretched skin, and, if needed, repairing separated and weakened abdominal muscles (a condition known as diastasis recti). A tummy tuck restores a toned-looking midsection, correcting changes caused by pregnancy, significant weight loss, or simply the aging process.

[...] Cosmetic surgery can be very scary and there are so many horror stories; however, when I met Dr. Crispin I knew I found my surgeon. He had the confidence, expertise, and experience that I needed. On surgery day I was so calm and relaxed because I knew he had me. I was not disappointed. He did my Tummy Tuck and lipo to the back and flanks. I am 3 weeks Post OP and I feel great, and my stomach looks awesome. I have actually scheduled a Breast lift that speaks volumes. Don’t hesitate go ahead and book your procedure. You won’t regret It!

Aliya B.

I cannot express enough how pleased I have been with Dr Crispin and his entire staff. I was so confident and comfortable with him at my initial consultation that I never saw another doctor. I recently had a tummy tuck, breast lift and implant exchange and liposuction. My results exceed my expectations at just 6 weeks post op. Dr Crispin, Mary Catherine and Jennifer along with everyone in the office are so positive and caring. I would definitely recommend them to anyone considering plastic surgery.

Dr. Crispin is an incredibly skilled surgeon that also genuinely cares for his patients. Visiting his office is always a wonderful experience bc he and his staff are so kind! I can’t thank them enough for my amazing results. It’s truly been life changing!

What Are the Benefits of Tummy Tuck Surgery?

Your tummy tuck can:

  • Tighten and smooth stretched and sagging skin on your abdomen
  • Eliminate bulges of fat from your midsection
  • Remove fat that is resistant to slimming with diet and exercise
  • Reconnect separated abdominal muscles for a firmer, flatter belly
  • Pull in your waist to enhance your body’s curves
  • Transform a flabby midsection into one that’s toned and younger-looking

The changes made in a tummy tuck can make you look and feel younger, fitter, and more attractive, a transformation that can boost your self-esteem and self-confidence.

Am I an Ideal Candidate for Tummy Tuck Surgery?

Dr. Crispin can tell you if you are a good candidate for a tummy tuck as part of your consultation with him. You may be a good candidate if you:


  • Are dissatisfied with the appearance of your abdomen because of stretched skin, excess fat, and/or bulging caused by separated abdominal muscles
  • Are in generally good health
  • Are not significantly overweight and have maintained a stable weight for several month
  • Have realistic expectations for the results of the procedure


If you smoke, you must be able to quit for a period of several weeks before and after your surgery. Dr. Crispin recommends that women wait until they have finished having children before having a tummy tuck. Abdominal muscles that tightened and reconnected in a tummy tuck can stretch and separate in a future pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Should I Prepare for My Tummy Tuck Consultation?

Come with a list of prepared questions you have about different options to address your specific concerns about your abdomen to help Dr. Crispin develop a specific plan to achieve your goals. 

What Should I Expect on the Day of My Tummy Tuck Procedure?

Arrive at the surgery center approx. 1.5 hours before your scheduled surgery time. You will meet with Dr. Crispin, who will review with you again the incision lines and will mark your abdomen with precise measurements to ensure symmetric scarring.

Can a Tummy Tuck Be Combined With Other Cosmetic Procedures?

Yes. A tummy tuck can be combined with other surgical and non-surgical procedures for an even greater personal transformation. A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures to restore younger-looking and more attractive contours to the body. A mommy makeover often includes a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast surgery, but can be customized to include the specific combination of procedures that you need.

Is a Tummy Tuck Painful?

When correction of diastasis recti (muscle repair) is required as part of a tummy tuck, more discomfort can occur in the first days of recovery. Dr. Crispin, one of the top tummy tuck doctors in Atlanta, GA, can use EXPAREL long-acting anesthetic, injected directly into the muscle at the time of surgery, to provide more comfort to supplement oral pain medications.
