What are the Types of Tummy Tuck Orlando Procedures?
A renowned board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Scott Rotatori offers several popular tummy tuck procedures with great reviews depending on your specific needs, including:
- Standard tummy tuck – Tightens all the abdominal wall skin and muscles, leaving behind a standard-sized scar.
- Mini tummy tuck – Tightens the lower abdominal wall skin only and leaves a shorter scar.
- Modified tummy tuck – Addresses conditions where just the muscle wall or just the abdominal skin requires repair.
How Does Tummy Tuck Orlando Surgery Differ from Liposuction?
A tummy tuck procedure and liposuction are both body contouring plastic surgery procedures that help you address frustrating areas on your body that do not respond to traditional diet and exercise efforts. However, each procedure addresses a different concern.
Liposuction involves fat removal, while a tummy tuck removes and tightens excess or loose skin. Tummy tuck surgery may involve removing some body fat, but that’s not the main purpose of the procedure.
That’s why some patients combine these two procedures to achieve the most comprehensive results. Dr. Rotatori will work with you to develop a customized procedure best suited for your needs and goals.
How Do You Recover from a Tummy Tuck Procedure?
Dr. Rotatori and his dedicated team perform your tummy tuck surgery in Orlando under general anesthesia in an outpatient setting.
However, the tummy tuck procedure has a lengthy recovery process. Our staff will provide you with all the information you need to comfortably recover.
Here are some important details about what to expect with the tummy tuck recovery process:
- The tummy tuck procedure requires an overnight stay in a hospital setting.
- You will then go home with drains that we will remove in the office within one to two weeks.
- We encourage you to move and walk regularly within one to two days.
- It is also important that you stay hydrated following surgery.
- Light activity becomes comfortable in 10 to 20 days, though sports activity will not be comfortable for about six weeks after surgery.
If you’re seeking effective body contouring results with no downtime, CoolSculpting Elite Orlando provides a safe, noninvasive treatment that permanently removes troublesome fat in unwanted places.

Frequently Asked Questions
A tummy tuck tightens your abdominal muscles and removes excess skin for a firmer, flatter stomach - ideal if you have lost significant weight or had children.
With a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle, tummy tuck results can be long-lasting.
The cost of your tummy tuck will vary since we personalize every aspect of your body contouring procedure to meet your aesthetic goals. In fact, achieving your desired results may require combining different surgical methods.
Our focus during your tummy tuck surgery is on your comfort. We perform the tummy tuck procedure under general anesthesia. Following tummy tuck surgery, we provide you with detailed information and resources to help you achieve the most comfortable recovery possible.
A mini tummy tuck is a more conservative approach to regular tummy tuck surgery. This procedure involves a smaller incision to tighten the skin on the lower abdomen. However, a mini tummy tuck still creates amazing results with a smoother appearance.
There is no universal weight requirement for a tummy tuck, but ideal candidates are generally within 10–20 pounds of their goal weight and have a BMI under 30. Surgeons typically recommend patients be at a stable weight for at least 6 months before surgery for optimal safety and results.
You may not be a good candidate for a tummy tuck if you:
- Have uncontrolled medical conditions (e.g. diabetes, heart disease)
- Smoke and are unwilling to quit before/after surgery
- Have unrealistic expectations
- Are planning significant weight loss or pregnancy soon
During your consultation, we will review your medical history to determine your candidacy.Generally, tummy tucks are considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance. However, in rare cases where excess skin causes medical issues like chronic rashes or infections, part of the procedure might be eligible for partial coverage. Always check with your insurer.
For many patients, a tummy tuck provides life-changing confidence, a smoother silhouette, and long-term body contouring results that diet and exercise alone couldn’t achieve. If you have realistic expectations and understand the recovery process, a tummy tuck can be a worthwhile investment in your appearance and self-esteem.
