Below is how we utilize this technology:
Separation
Dr. Frederick utilizes a small cannula to separate fat from the surrounding tissue. Tumescent fluid is injected into the treated area to emulsify and lose fat.
Aspiration
The process removes unwanted fat with a gentle suction from a cannula. This is done without causing damage to surrounding tissue.
Fat Equalization
Equalization of fat is the final step of the process. The remaining layer of fat is evened out for a smooth, consistent surface. This causes fewer surface irregularities, bumps, or indentations visible under the skin.
Benefits
The benefits of a tummy tuck go beyond aesthetic rejuvenation and improve muscular function. The routine procedure offers patients a smoother, taut abdominal core. You’re sure to leave our office with a newfound sense of self-esteem and better movement. You can enjoy these other benefits too:

Candidates
Abdominoplasty may be a solution for those who want to achieve a tighter, firmer midsection. Patients with excess skin and fat caused by aging, past surgeries, and weight change may benefit from the surgery. As a part of the ‘mommy makeover,’ a tummy tuck repairs damaged muscles and flattens the abdomens for women who have recently given birth. Dr. Frederick recommends prospective candidates be mindful of the following criteria:

Your consultation with Dr. Frederick is a two-way conversation that addresses your concerns and lets us understand how we can help meet your needs.

The more definitive your expectations are, the easier it will be for us to find a solution to achieve them.
Preparation
Preparation
Amaira Med Spa places patient safety and experience above all else. To prepare, Dr. Frederick will supply you with instructions that are specific to you. Below is a general guideline for what to do beforehand:
1.
Prepare to give up smoking a few weeks before surgery and for the entire recuperation process. Smoking can significantly affect the surgery and the healing process.
2.
Adjust medications. Blood thinners and over-the-counter painkillers such as aspirin and ibuprofen can increase the chance of excessive bleeding during surgery
3.
Go to the drug store and fill any prescriptions ordered by Dr. Frederick so that you’ll have them on hand after your procedure.
4.
Ask a trusted friend or family member to provide transportation home and assistance for the first day of your recovery.
5.
Prepare a comfortable place to rest and recover, with essentials within close reach. You will need to avoid laying flat on your back to avoid putting strain on your healing incisions, so make sure you have a comfortable recliner or plenty of pillows.
Procedure
Procedure
Before we get started, you’ll be administered general anesthesia or IV sedation to ensure your comfort. Your exact pathway to a taut midsection may look different depending on your condition. Your consultation will determine which tummy tuck method is best for you. Here are the two approaches:
Mini
Tummy Tuck
Patients with modest amounts of excess skin and fat will benefit from this method. First, Dr. Frederick makes a small incision just above the pubic area and follows the same steps as a traditional abdominoplasty, removing excess fat and redraping the skin.
Full
Tummy Tuck
A full tummy tuck procedure is used to treat the most common causes of excess skin and damaged abdominal muscles. Dr. Frederick begins by making an incision that runs just above the pubic area and extends between the hip bones.
Recovery
Recovery
Recovery from a tummy tuck should take place within 3-6 months. With each passing week, your new results will show and your symptoms will improve. While every patient heals differently, below is a general guideline of what to expect:
- Plan to take it easy during the first week of recovery. You may have limited movement but be sure to take short walks regularly to maintain good circulation.
- Minimize tension on the wound by resting and sleeping in an inclined position.
- Mild discomfort, soreness, and swelling may be felt during the first few weeks. Take the prescribed medication as directed by Dr. Frederick for the first 3-6 days, then transition to ibuprofen.
- You may return to light activities and desk work within 2-4 weeks. After that, avoid strenuous movement for an additional six weeks.
- A compression guard or abdominal binder will be given to you to wear for two weeks to maintain the integrity of your results.
Results
Patients are thrilled with their results. Once the recovery period is over, they see a noticeable difference in their midsection. The optimized body profile allows better movement, more clothing options, and heightened self-confidence. The results are yours to keep for years as long as you’re committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a proper diet and regular exercise.
