See One of Dr. Devlin's Transformations
Before Abdominoplasty. This 37-year-old mother visited our Arkansas team in hopes of rejuvenating her post-pregnancy figure. After giving birth to her four children, she struggled with excess skin and fat around her stomach that could not be removed with weight loss alone.
After Abdominoplasty. Dr. Devlin listened to her concerns and found that she was an excellent candidate for liposuction and a tummy tuck. He conducted both, creating trim and youthful results. After treatment at our Little Rock, AR, office, she now has a slimmer, flatter abdomen.

What Is a Tummy Tuck? Let Dr. Devlin Explain
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a body contouring procedure designed to smooth and slim your abdomen. Our cosmetic surgeon in Little Rock, AR, achieves tailored results by removing excess fat and loose skin caused by aging, pregnancy, or weight loss. In certain cases, he can also restore function by reconnecting abdominal muscles separated during pregnancy.

Why Choose Dr. Devlin for Abdominoplasty?
With so many cosmetic surgery providers, you may wonder: why choose Dr. Devlin for abdominoplasty?

Dr. Devlin encourages anyone who is interested in a tummy tuck to explore his before-and-after gallery to see examples of what he can do for you.
Understanding Tummy Tuck Candidacy
The ideal tummy tuck patient has reached their goal weight or is within about 10 to 15 pounds of it. They're also dedicated to maintaining their results with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Finally, they're in relatively good health, have a healthy BMI, and don't smoke, and don't drink to excess, among other factors that Dr. Devlin will assess during your visit.
Open to Patients of All Genders
Dr. Devlin offers tummy tucks to patients of all genders. Male candidates often pursue body contouring after significant weight loss or to refine the abdominal shape, and the consultation evaluates candidacy the same way regardless of gender.
Which Procedures Can Be Performed Along With a Tummy Tuck?
If it is safe to do so, our Little Rock, AR, cosmetic surgeon can customize your tummy tuck with additional procedures like:
Breast Augmentation
Are your breasts less full and round than they used to be? Dr. Devlin can bring back their youthful perkiness and volume with breast augmentation.
Breast Lift
Pregnancy, one of the common reasons for a tummy tuck, can also cause your breasts to sag or droop. A breast lift can revitalize your figure.
Liposuction
Liposuction is the procedure most commonly combined with a tummy tuck at our practice. For patients with small amounts of stubborn fat on their thighs, back, or stomach, liposuction can create the smoother, tighter silhouettes they desire.
Mommy Makeover
For patients with more comprehensive goals, mommy makeovers can combine a variety of the custom procedures listed here, as well as labiaplasty and breast reduction.
How Does Abdominoplasty Work? A Typical Treatment Timeline
Patients travel from Conway, Hot Springs, the Greater Pulaski County area, and throughout Arkansas because they trust our cosmetic surgeon. A tummy tuck at Devlin Cosmetic Surgery is performed in a single day. Patients are fully sedated for comfort throughout the procedure.
01
Consultation
Before we plan your surgery, you'll first visit our Little Rock office for a consultation. Our cosmetic surgeon will assess your health and candidacy, show you photos of results, and answer your questions. Dr. Devlin is uncompromising about your safety. If he thinks that you are not a candidate for abdominoplasty, he will kindly tell you why he will not perform treatment.
02
Administer Anesthesia
When it comes time for your procedure, our first priority will be to make you comfortable. We use sedation so that you won't feel any discomfort during your abdominoplasty.
03
Create Incision
Once you're fully sedated, our cosmetic surgeon will make a precise incision along your lower abdomen. For a mini tummy tuck, the incision will be smaller.
04
Remove Excess Tissue
Next, Dr. Devlin will carefully remove any excess skin or fat in your abdominal area. This allows you to have a smoother, more toned-looking midsection once you have fully recovered.
05
Repair Damaged Muscles
Patients often notice their abdominal muscles have separated after pregnancy. Our cosmetic surgeon can safely re-tighten them during your tummy tuck.
06
Additional Procedures
If you desire and if it's safe to do so, Dr. Devlin may also perform other cosmetic surgery procedures during your abdominoplasty, like breast augmentation or liposuction. He also offers mommy makeovers, which comprehensively address the changes that follow pregnancy, like breast sagging, abdominal separation, and loose skin.
07
Apply Sutures
Dr. Devlin will finish your cosmetic surgery treatment by closing any incisions with sutures. He keeps all incision sites sterile throughout treatment to minimize complications like infection.
08
Place Drains and Begin Recovery
Dr. Devlin places surgical drains at the end of the procedure to help fluid clear from the abdominal area during the early healing window. For the first few days as you recover, he will also give you a pain pump that safely administers a non-narcotic anesthetic to your abdomen so that you feel little to no discomfort as you heal.
Tummy Tuck Tips and Aftercare
01
Eat a Healthy Diet
Once fat cells are removed, the effects are permanent, but this doesn't mean your body won't accumulate new fat deposits. Being mindful of your diet and eating healthy foods can keep your body from making new fat cells to accommodate your energy intake, preserving your slimmer figure. We recommend eating lean meats, fruits, vegetables, beans, and seeds. Try to cut back on snacking and avoid carbs and alcohol.
02
Exercise Regularly
Exercising will go a long way toward keeping your midsection, and the rest of your body, toned and free of excess fat. We recommend walking in the weeks after your cosmetic surgery as a way to keep active and minimize the risk of developing blood clots. Once cleared by your doctor, you could benefit from cardio exercises and strength training. Many patients opt for jogging, hiking, yoga, swimming, lifting weights, and cycling.
03
Don't Use Nicotine Products
Nicotine prevents healing tissues from getting the blood supply they need, impeding the recovery process. We recommend not using nicotine products in the months leading up to and following your cosmetic surgery. Ideally, patients should try to quit the habit altogether.
04
Fade Your Scars
Dr. Devlin will always try to place incisions in areas that can be easily hidden with clothing, but you may wish to do more to make them less noticeable. Scar creams can help fade scars from your abdominoplasty and any liposuction you've received. We also recommend protecting them from the sun, as UV rays can make scarring more noticeable.
