Aging, pregnancy, weight changes, and genetics can all contribute to stretched skin, weakened abdominal muscles, and a loss of core definition—especially in the lower abdomen. For patients frustrated by loose skin or abdominal bulging that won’t respond to diet and exercise, cosmetic abdominoplasty (commonly called a tummy tuck) offers a safe and effective solution.
What Is Abdominoplasty?
Abdominoplasty is a body contouring procedure that removes excess lower abdominal skin and fat while also tightening the underlying abdominal wall fascia—often weakened or separated by pregnancy, weight gain, or the natural aging process. This muscle separation, known as diastasis recti, can cause a persistent abdominal bulge even in otherwise fit individuals.
Who Is a Candidate?
You may be a candidate for cosmetic abdominoplasty if you:
- Have excess skin and fat in the lower abdomen
- Are experiencing diastasis recti (muscle separation) after pregnancy or weight changes
- Have lost significant weight but are left with sagging skin
- Are at or near a stable weight and in overall good health
- Are not planning future pregnancies
This procedure is especially popular among women post-pregnancy and individuals who have undergone successful weight loss and want to complete their transformation.
What Does the Procedure Involve?
During surgery, Dr. Jason J. Rosenberg carefully:
– Removes excess lower abdominal skin and fat
– Repairs and tightens the abdominal fascia to correct diastasis recti
– Repositions the belly button for a natural appearance
– Contours the waistline for a smoother, more toned profile
In some cases, liposuction may be added to improve the result. Scars are typically located low on the abdomen and are designed to be concealed beneath undergarments or swimwear.
This procedure can be performed as a stand-alone surgery, but it is also commonly combined with breast reduction or explant surgery, depending on the patient’s goals.

Recovery & Expectations
Abdominoplasty is a major procedure with a meaningful recovery period. Most patients can resume light activities within 1–2 weeks and full activity by 4–6 weeks. While scars are permanent, they typically fade over time and are carefully placed for minimal visibility.
The results are long-lasting, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle. Patients often report increased confidence, improved core function, and comfort in clothing they hadn’t worn in years.
