What Is a Tummy Tuck? (Abdominoplasty)
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a procedure that removes excess abdominal skin and fat, while also tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles. It is ideal for addressing:
Loose, hanging skin after pregnancy or weight loss
Diastasis recti (separated abdominal muscles)
Stubborn lower belly fat unresponsive to diet and exercise
Stretch marks on the lower abdomen (often reduced with skin excision)
VG Signature offers both full and mini tummy tuck options, depending on the degree of correction needed. We may also combine liposuction or fat sculpting for enhanced contour.
The VG Signature Approach
Dr. Gargya combines deep surgical expertise with an artist’s eye. Every incision, suture, and contouring technique is performed with meticulous intent to:
- Sculpt an elegant waistline and defined silhouette
- Hide incisions discreetly below the underwear line
- Preserve or reposition the belly button for natural beauty
- Minimize downtime with modern surgical techniques and enhanced recovery protocols
You’ll experience a couture surgical journey from consultation to post-op, with our concierge team guiding every step.
Full vs. Mini Tummy Tuck
Full Tummy Tuck:
- Ideal for patients with moderate to severe excess skin and muscle laxity
- Muscle repair (diastasis correction) included
- Incision from hip to hip (strategically placed below underwear line)
Mini Tummy Tuck:
- Best for patients with mild to moderate lower belly laxity
- Does not typically involve muscle repair
- Smaller incision, shorter recovery
During your consult, Dr. Gargya will determine the most elegant and effective approach based on your anatomy.

Frequently Asked Questions
A tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure—it’s a body contouring surgery that removes excess skin and fat while tightening the abdominal muscles. Most patients lose about 2 to 5 pounds from the excised tissue, but the true transformation lies in the refined, sculpted silhouette. At VG Signature, our 360° Tummy Tuck tightens the waistline from all angles, giving you a dramatically more contoured midsection—not just a lower number on the scale.
In most cases, a tummy tuck is considered elective and not covered by insurance. However, partial coverage may be possible if there’s a medical reason—such as significant diastasis recti or excess skin leading to chronic infections. During your consultation, Dr. Vipul Gargya—regarded as one of the top tummy tuck surgeons in Tampa—will assess whether any aspect of your surgery may qualify for insurance support.
Light walking is encouraged within the first few days to promote circulation. However, exercises involving your core should be avoided for at least 6 to 8 weeks or until your surgeon gives clearance. At VG Signature, every 360° Tummy Tuck comes with a tailored recovery plan to ensure optimal healing and long-term results. Our goal is to help you return to your active life—confident, sculpted, and stronger than ever.
