During pregnancy or after significant weight changes, the abdominal muscles can stretch and separate along the midline — a condition called "Diastasis Recti." This separation weakens the core and can cause the abdomen to bulge or lose its tone, even with consistent exercise. During a tummy tuck, these muscles are carefully brought back together and reinforced in a process known as the msucle repair (M.R.). Dr. Jones has perfected this technique and also performs an additional repair that acts as an internal corset, tightening the abdominal wall from within to create a flatter, firmer core and a more defined waistline. The result is not only improved contour but also restored core strength and stability, helping you feel balanced, supported, and confident in your shape.

Beyond repairing the underlying muscles, a tummy tuck also addresses skin laxity and excess. Over time—or after pregnancy or significant weight loss—the skin can lose its elasticity and hang loosely over the abdomen. During the procedure, this extra skin is carefully removed, and the remaining tissue is gently redraped to create a smoothe
Beyond repairing the underlying muscles, a tummy tuck also addresses skin laxity and excess. Over time—or after pregnancy or significant weight loss—the skin can lose its elasticity and hang loosely over the abdomen. During the procedure, this extra skin is carefully removed, and the remaining tissue is gently redraped to create a smoother, firmer contour. The result is a taut, natural-looking midsection with improved definition and a noticeably refined silhouette.

By restoring the underlying muscle structure and removing excess skin, a tummy tuck creates a smoother, more refined abdominal contour that enhances the way clothing fits. Many patients find that dresses, fitted tops, and swimwear rest more naturally against the body, revealing the shape they’ve worked hard to achieve. This renewed balanc
By restoring the underlying muscle structure and removing excess skin, a tummy tuck creates a smoother, more refined abdominal contour that enhances the way clothing fits. Many patients find that dresses, fitted tops, and swimwear rest more naturally against the body, revealing the shape they’ve worked hard to achieve. This renewed balance between form and fit often translates into a quiet but powerful confidence—an ease and self-assurance that radiates both in and out of clothing.
