Feel the results, see the difference, and enjoy the confidence. A tummy tuck can reveal a smoother, flatter abdomen—restoring your waistline and helping you feel more confident in and out of your clothes. Whether it’s from pregnancy or weight loss, this transformation can help you reconnect with your body and feel like yourself again.
What is a Tummy Tuck?
The goal of a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is to restore the abdomen to a more firm and youthful appearance.
Weight gain and loss, childbirth, and aging can all change the appearance of the stomach. The tummy tuck procedure can address the loose skin, bulging (diastasis), and stretch marks by tightening the abdominal fascia layer and excising loose skin and lower abdominal stretch marks. To achieve their desired results, some patients may want liposuction of the love handles or other areas along with the tummy tuck. Your surgeon will give each patient surgical recommendations based on their physical exam at the time of the consultation.
The Aesthetica Difference
At Aesthetica Plastic Surgery, our surgeons bring over 25 years of experience and have performed thousands of tummy tuck procedures with exceptional outcomes. Special attention is given to crafting a natural-looking belly button and placing incisions strategically so they are well-hidden—allowing patients to wear bikinis with confidence, without visible signs of surgery.
Our surgeon's meticulous approach ensures low, discreet incisions and refined contouring for the most aesthetically pleasing results. To enhance patient comfort, we offer Exparel, a long-lasting, non-opioid pain control injection that significantly eases the initial recovery period. Additionally, we provide a drain-free tummy tuck technique, which reduces postoperative discomfort and simplifies the healing process. At Aesthetica, our goal is to deliver beautiful, natural results with the safest and most comfortable recovery possible.
Journey To Confidence
At your consultation, you will be able to discuss questions and review what you would like changed through surgery. Your surgeon will discuss the details of the procedure, show you the benefits of tummy tuck surgery, and create a surgical plan with you. Our office staff will provide you with a surgery quote and can help schedule a surgery date at that time.
You will have a pre-operative appointment three weeks prior to surgery. At this appointment, you will sign consents, discuss any last minute questions and concerns, and get further pre- and post-surgery instructions.
Your surgery will take place at surgical facility in Lindon, Utah. This is generally a 3 hour procedure. The first night you will stay with a nurse for overnight observation.
Generally, you will be seen 1 to 3 days after surgery and again 4 to 5 days later. Further post operative appointments will continue and be dependent upon your recovery.
Recovery for tummy tuck surgery is generally 6 to 8 weeks of no strenuous activity to allow the abdominal repair to heal. At Aesthetica, post operative care and safety is our number one priority. We see patients frequently after their procedure to assure healing and recovery is on track. Patients have 24 hour access to an on-call nurse for emergencies.
Aesthetica Plastic Surgery Reviews
I just left the office of DrCrofts for my pre op appointment and I had to leave a review because I couldn't be more excited. I went in very nervous about my upcoming Tummy Tuck and Breast Augmentation It was late as I was their last appointment of the day and they did not make me feel rushed. They took their time and made me so comfortable. but they eased my concerns with answering all my questions. It was a good experience and I'm looking forward to the big day.
Had a wonderful experience with Dr Crofts and his team! I am 8 weeks post op and recovering nicely from a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I had help all the way through my recovery from Dr Crofts and his nurses whenever I had questions or concerns. I would recommend Dr Crofts and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery to anyone with plastic surgery needs.
Dear Dr. Crofts, - I just wanted to write a quick note to let you know what a great experience I have had with my surgery, and working with you and your staff. This is why I love you guys! #1 I look freakin "FANTASTIC!" After 4 kids, I never dreamed I could look this good again. I am so thankful for my tummy tuck and my beautiful boobs - LOVE them! #2 You have the best staff in Utah County. I am a meticulous researcher, and I went all over the state meeting doctors and their staffs. I was blown away when I met your nurses - they sat down and took an hour with me, going through everything to expect after the surgery, you have an incredible staff! #3 I had no complications, infections, and need no revisions (I am sooo thankful!) I was so appreciative that I stayed overnight at the surgical center, and got great follow up care in the days and weeks following my surgery. Thank you so much for this incredible experience. KF
