Loose skin, stretched muscles, and stubborn abdominal fat can be difficult to address with diet and exercise alone. For individuals looking to achieve a firmer abdomen, a tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, can be a highly effective surgical option. Dr. Demianczuk offers customized tummy tuck procedures to help restore your core and waistline.

During the consultation, an individualized surgical plan will be created depending on the anatomy and aesthetic goals of the patient.

The Surgical Experience
A tummy tuck is performed under general anaesthesia in an accredited surgical facility and typically takes 2-3 hours to complete. It is considered an outpatient procedure. It is frequently combined with liposuction. After surgery, patients will wear a compression garment for 4-6 weeks. Patients will be encouraged to move around after surgery in order to promote blood circulation. Most patients will need 2 weeks off work following surgery, and can resume full activities after 6 weeks.
What is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgery designed to improve the shape and tone of the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat while tightening the abdominal muscles. This procedure is ideal for women after pregnancy and for individuals of any gender who have undergone significant weight loss. In addition to removing loose tissue, the surgery helps address weakened or separated muscles, resulting in a more sculpted appearance. During the consultation, Dr. Demianczuk evaluates your anatomy and discusses your goals to create a tailored surgical plan that aligns with your aesthetic goals.
Candidates for a Tummy Tuck
Ideal candidates for abdominoplasty are healthy individuals who are close to their goal weight but struggle with loose skin, weakened abdominal muscles, or localized fat that has not responded to diet and exercise. Non-smokers with realistic expectations and a stable weight are often good candidates. Patients planning future pregnancies or substantial weight changes are advised to wait before undergoing this procedure.
The Tummy Tuck Procedure
Abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia in a fully accredited surgical facility. The surgery generally lasts two to three hours and is an outpatient procedure. In many cases, liposuction is performed simultaneously to enhance the final results. Dr. Demianczuk makes incisions low on the abdomen, and tightens the underlying muscles before removing excess skin and fat.
Tummy Tuck Recovery
Recovery from a tummy tuck involves some initial swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. A compression garment is worn for four to six weeks to reduce swelling and support the healing process. Light movement is encouraged soon after surgery to promote circulation, but patients typically need about two weeks off work and should avoid strenuous activity for approximately six weeks. Most patients see a noticeable improvement in their abdominal contour as the swelling resolves.
Tummy Tuck Results
The results of a tummy tuck are long-lasting when supported by a healthy lifestyle. Patients notice a flatter abdomen, improved posture, and improved confidence.

Book a Consultation“Amazing doctor! My family doc sent me to see Dr. D. for a tummy tuck and tummy muscle repair and a breast lift after having three children. Dr. D – you have given my children their mother back! Not only am I really happy with the results of the surgery, but fixing my muscles has really improved by ability to exercise. Probably the nicest doctor you’ll ever meet – and all of his staff from the office and the operating room were so patient, kind and helpful. I highly recommend this doctor and many of my friends will be seeing him as well. Thank you!!!”
