Tummy Tuck
Excess skin, fat, and separated abdominal muscles are among the common side effects for aging, weight, loss and pregnancy.
While they mark the milestones your body has reached, you don't have to live with them if you're unhappy with their appearance.
For smoother, more toned figures, Dr. Michael A. Devlin offers custom tummy tucks for Little Rock, Conway, and Hot Springs, AR, patients.
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 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.
Tummy Tucks Are:
Common
Many patients feel like no one else is dealing with the same stresses or insecurities that they are. However, a report from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons shows that 97,988 people chose to smooth their stomachs with abdominoplasty in 2020 alone.
Safe
Before planning your surgery, Dr. Devlin will make sure that you are a good candidate and that the procedure is safe for you. Though some patients aren't eligible for a full tummy tuck, they may be candidates for mini tummy tucks—a less invasive procedure with a smaller incision.
Custom
Dr. Devlin works with his patients to give them custom treatments that directly address their goals. For instance, he can reconnect abdominal muscles that often separate during pregnancy. He can also combine your tummy tuck with other procedures, like a breast lift or liposuction.

What a Patient Has to Say About Their Tummy Tuck Experience

Patients of All Genders Can Benefit From Tummy Tucks
Understanding Tummy Tuck Candidacy
Tummy tucks are surgical procedures, and for the best results, you will need to be a suitable candidate. The typical 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 healthy BMIs, and don't smoke or drink, among other factors that Dr. Devlin will assess during your visit.
Curious about the possibilities? There's only one way to find out for sure that you're a tummy tuck candidate: getting in touch with our Little Rock office for a consultation.

Super friendly staff! Always available and quick to respond to all questions/concerns.
I had an inch of separation in my abs due to pregnancy, and was super nervous about the intensity/scope of the procedure (abdominoplasty). Now, a year later, the results of my surgery went beyond my (and my hubby's) expectations!
Scarring is minimal, and my stomach is flat and natural.
Dr. Devlin actually talked me out of additional work (liposuction), which really solidifies that he cares more about the patients than paychecks.
Highly recommend!

Where to begin...I have yoyo dieted my whole life therefore my skin finally said "we are finished moving back into position, & are just going to HANG around & look ugly...I had a couple of issues like an allergy to suture glue & stubborn stitches that wouldn't dissolve. The staff calmed me & Dr. D immediately solved MY problems. I had a Lower Tummy Tuck saying good bye to the flab sack hanging on my belly. Next, a face/brow lift taking 15 to 20 years off my age...I am totally delighted with every procedure Dr. Devlin performed. He was very professional, knowledgeable, talented & pretty funny when he wanted to be. He personally called me one evening when I was panicked about something ridiculous. As for the staff, I wouldn't know where to start. They make me feel like family. I am truly grateful & am soooo glad I chose Dr. Devlin. Check them out, you won't regret it.

Tummy Tuck FAQ
Can I have a tummy tuck before getting pregnant?
Yes, you can, though it's usually better for your long-term results to have an abdominoplasty once your family is complete. If you decide that you want to grow your family in the future, though, you will still be able to get pregnant and have a healthy child.
Can a tummy tuck remove all my extra stomach fat?
No, tummy tucks are designed to move a limited amount of fat, ranging from three to four pounds. Typically, patients are advised to lose most of their weight before the procedure. In certain cases, your tummy tuck may also be able to be paired with liposuction.Will my abdominoplasty results be permanent?
Yes, the results of your abdominoplasty will last a lifetime. Like with liposuction, when your fat or skin is removed from an area, it will not be able to regenerate. Of course, you should still stay active and eat healthy for the best long-term results and well-being.
Will people be able to tell I've had a tummy tuck?
No, they likely will not be able to tell. Scarring is minimal and fades over time. Additionally, Dr. Devlin pays extra attention to the most common sign patients have had abdominoplasty: their belly buttons. His techniques create subtle and beautiful results.
