A tummy tuck can greatly improve the contours of the stomach. What a tummy tuck cannot do, however, is replace the healthy eating habits and regular physical activity necessary to regulate your body weight.
A suitable candidate for the procedure is in good physical health, is not overweight, and has realistic expectations for the results of their tummy tuck. The permanent success of an abdominoplasty can be compromised by fluctuations in weight, so if you plan to lose weight, or are considering becoming pregnant in the future, we highly recommend waiting to undergo the procedure.
Tummy Tuck Step-by-Step
When you visit our offices in White Plains or Manhattan for abdominoplasty, here is what you can expect:
Tummy tuck procedures take about two hours.
Tummy Tuck Recovery
After a tummy tuck with Dr. Lerman in Manhattan or White Plains, patients can typically return home the same day. We will place bandages over your incisions and provide detailed instructions on how to care for the surgical site in the days and weeks to come.
We will likely provide prescriptions for pain medication and antibiotics. Take these medicines as instructed to ensure your recovery is as smooth and comfortable as possible.
Swelling and bruising around the belly is normal and usually lasts for around a week or two. Once the swelling subsides, you should be able to notice the improved contours of your midsection.

Patients Praise Dr. Lerman's Bedside Manner
"I had the best experience with Dr Lermen always patient pleasant and professional. Dr. Lermen’s staff is also top notch. Dr Lermen knew I was nervous he bent down as I waited for anesthesia to begin. He told me not worry and I’ll be fine. 9 hours later and a whole lot of pain meds I was up and about. He had to tell me to take it easy, as a former Northwell health employee, I know lots of doctors and almost everyone I spoke to recommended him. He will definitely see me again♥️♥️" Teishia Phillips-Unthank
Maintaining and Enhancing Your Results After Tummy Tuck Surgery
Follow a Healthy Diet
A tummy tuck and liposuction will permanently remove fat cells, but they won't keep new ones from forming. Our Manhattan plastic surgeon recommends eating a balanced, nutrient-rich diet, and cutting down on snacking to maintain your slim contours. You don't have to focus on eating less food—just try to eat better food.
Get Regular Exercise
You can benefit from short walks as you recover from your procedure, but once you're cleared by Dr. Lerman, core strengthening exercises can help you maintain and enhance your results by defining your muscles. We also recommend getting regular exercise to help you burn energy and prevent fat deposits from forming.
Minimize Scarring
Your incision will be placed low on your abdomen so it can easily be hidden with clothing, and Dr. Lerman's refined techniques result in discreet scarring. Meanwhile, there are some things you can do to minimize scars, such as applying topical scar creams, minimizing sun exposure to the treatment area, and wearing sun protection.
Combining Your Tummy Tuck With Other Cosmetic Procedures
While a tummy tuck will go a long way in improving the contours of your midsection, some patients' goals may require further treatment. If the aging process, massive weight loss, or pregnancy and breastfeeding have made other changes to your body that you wish to address, Dr. Lerman can combine your tummy tuck with other plastic surgery procedures. Your options include:
You and Dr. Lerman can plan the procedure or combination of procedures needed to realize your goals during a consultation at his Manhattan or White Plains offices.
Tummy Tuck FAQ
We look forward to answering all of your questions during your consultation in Manhattan or White Plains. Until then, here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about abdominoplasty.
What is a mini tummy tuck?
A mini tummy tuck is a procedure that only addresses excess skin and fat above the pubic area. A full tummy tuck, on the other hand, refines the appearance of the entire abdominal area. Dr. Lerman personalizes every abdominoplasty he performs. During your consultation at his Manhattan or White Plains offices, he will take note of your goals and needs to create your customized procedure.
Will a tummy tuck help me lose weight?
No. Tummy tucks and liposuction are not weight loss procedures, and they are not alternatives to a healthy diet and regular exercise. However, many men and women who have achieved significant weight loss choose abdominoplasty to help them refine their figures.
Will my tummy tuck be permanent?
Your abdominoplasty will remove excess skin and fat from your abdominal area, so in a sense, the results will be permanent. However, if your weight fluctuates in the future, you may redevelop some loose skin and fat deposits in your belly. Of course, our skin loosens as we age so you may lose some definition in your abdomen over time. To maintain your results for as long as possible, eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly.
Can a tummy tuck correct stretch marks?
If your stretch marks are on areas of your skin that will be removed during your tummy tuck, then the procedure will eliminate them. However, if you have stretch marks higher up on your abdomen, then a tummy tuck alone will not address them.
What are the risks of a tummy tuck?
Abdominoplasty involves the same risks as any other surgical procedure. The potential complications include infection, negative reactions to anesthesia, and poor healing. You can greatly mitigate the risks of plastic surgery by choosing a board-certified surgeon like Dr. Lerman. Dr. Lerman adheres to the highest safety standards, and he only performs surgery on excellent candidates who can safely undergo surgery.
