Featured Patient Testimonial
"This a long overdue but well-earned review. One year ago today I had a tummy tuck with liposuction by Dr. Hubbard and his awesome staff. Deciding to have a tummy tuck was one thing but choosing Dr. Hubbard and his staff was the best decision for me. They were caring, professional and personal. I would recommend them highly to anyone looking to have high-quality results. I am 100% satisfied with my results."

People who have excess skin around the abdomen and loose abdominal muscles may benefit from Dr. Hubbard's Virginia Beach abdominoplasty. Women who have been pregnant or those who just want a tighter, flatter midsection can also enjoy the advantages of a tummy tuck.
Bethany says her decision to undergo a tummy tuck and breast reduction was simple, "You have to do what you want to do to make yourself feel better." She describes the moment her bandages came off as "phenomenal."
What can I expect from the procedure?
- Depending on the type of abdominoplasty being performed, the incision usually goes across the abdomen, low enough to be concealed by the patient's bathing suit or underwear.
- With this incision, excess skin is removed, the muscle walls are tightened, and liposuction may be performed to remove additional fat.
- There may be a scar around the umbilicus depending on the type of abdominoplasty performed and whether or not there is excess skin above the umbilicus.
- Most, but not all patients, choose to tighten the muscle during the tummy tuck procedure. Others can accomplish muscle tightening with exercise alone.
What is an Extended Tummy Tuck?
For some individuals, there is a whole world of options extending the excision of skin around the side or flank and into the back at varying distances. "Extended Tummy Tuck," "Belt Lipectomy," "Around the World Abdominoplasty," "Flankplasty," and "Buttock Thigh Lift" are among the many choices available when you extend the excision of skin toward the back. A higher excision around the waist and into the back has more impact on waist narrowing, while a lower excision has a more powerful buttock and thigh lifting effect.
What Can I Expect From Healing after Surgery?
- Usually, but not always, a small tube or drain is placed under the skin to drain any blood or fluids after surgery and minimize swelling.
- Patients are up and walking the day of their surgery, but certain activities are limited during the early weeks of recovery.
- Oral medication is generally prescribed to alleviate pain or discomfort.

What is a Complete Makeover?
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, from Dr. Hubbard is sometimes combined with liposuction to both remove fat and flatten the abdomen. A thigh lift can also enhance the effects of abdominoplasty and improve the look of the lower body. Women looking to restore their bodies more comprehensively often choose to combine cosmetic breast surgery with a tummy tuck and liposuction, in what's often referred to as a Mommy Makeover.
