What is a
Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a highly effective cosmetic surgery designed to create a flatter, firmer, and more contoured abdomen. At our Las Vegas plastic surgery practice, this procedure is tailored to remove excess skin and stubborn fat while tightening the underlying abdominal muscles and fascia for long-lasting results.
Many patients in Las Vegas choose a tummy tuck to address loose or sagging skin caused by pregnancy, aging, or significant weight loss. By restoring strength to the abdominal wall and improving overall contour, abdominoplasty can dramatically enhance both appearance and confidence.
While a Las Vegas tummy tuck can deliver transformative results, it is not a weight loss procedure. Ideal candidates are typically at or near their target weight and committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. For optimal, long-term outcomes, we encourage patients to follow a consistent fitness routine, eat a balanced diet, and maintain realistic expectations before and after surgery.
Our team is here to support you every step of the way, helping you achieve your aesthetic goals with safe, personalized care.
This patient, who is interested in slimming their abdomen, went to see board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rohit Jaiswal at his office in Las Vegas. During the consultation, Dr. Jaiswal advised the patient that a tummy tuck procedure would be the best approach to meet their needs. During the tummy tuck surgery, Dr. Jaiswal used the no-drain, progressive tension suture technique for the desired results. After waiting the standard few weeks to recover, the patient saw the final results and was thrilled with Dr. Jaiswal’s work.
Who are the Best Candidates for a Tummy tuck?
While this is a routine surgery for Dr. Jaiswal, the operation is extensive. You’ll be in great care at our facility. However, we do ask that our patients meet the following criteria:
*We recommend that women patients considering having children wait until after childbirth before having the surgery.
What are the Benefits of Abdominoplasty?
There are many great advantages to this surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Jaiswal will work with you to evaluate your goals and explain what he’ll be able to accomplish with the surgery. Below, we’ve included some of the major benefits you can achieve from our tummy tuck in Las Vegas.
What to Expect on the Day of Surgery?
On the day of your tummy tuck in Las Vegas, your procedure will be performed by Dr. Rohit Jaiswal at the state-of-the-art Flamingo Surgery Center. Our experienced and compassionate surgical team will welcome you and ensure you feel comfortable, informed, and fully prepared before your procedure begins.
Your Las Vegas tummy tuck will be performed under general anesthesia, allowing you to rest comfortably and experience a safe, pain-free surgery. Once you are ready, Dr. Jaiswal will carefully place a low, horizontal incision along the pubic area, extending from hip to hip. This technique allows the resulting scar to be easily concealed beneath underwear or swimwear.
During the procedure, Dr. Jaiswal will tighten weakened or separated abdominal muscles using precise suturing techniques, restoring strength and structure to the abdominal wall. Excess skin and fat are then removed, and the remaining tissue is smoothly repositioned to create a flatter, more contoured appearance.
After achieving the desired results, the incision is meticulously closed to complete your abdominoplasty. In most cases, a tummy tuck procedure takes approximately two to three hours to perform. If additional procedures are combined, your total surgery time may be longer.
Our Las Vegas team is committed to delivering safe, high-quality care and natural-looking results, helping you feel more confident in your body and comfortable in your clothing.
A High Lateral Tension Abdominoplasty (HLTA) is a specialized tummy tuck technique that is used to repair loose abdominal muscles and tighten any sagging tissues in the abdomen, flanks, and thighs.
One of the biggest differences from a traditional tummy tuck is that The Extended Tummy Tuck tightens your skin horizontally and vertically across the abdomen. This technique enables Dr. Jaiswal to accentuate your hips while cinching your waistline, giving women that desirable “hourglass” figure, and providing a more toned, athletic look in men. Scars from this procedure will be longer and are often higher than scars from traditional tummy tucks and mini-tummy tucks. Due to there not being as much skin removed from the center of your stomach, your naval is often left as is.
Surgery Time: 2 – 4 hours
Price: approximately $12,500 (For an accurate cost, please ask during your consultation).
Recovery: Some patients experience numbness or a pulling sensation in their stomach for weeks or months, but this fades over time. It can take up to three months for the swelling and bruising to go down completely, and it may take longer than that for your scar to fade
Results: Recognizable after surgery, with long-lasting results. Most patients tend to see results between 2 and 3 months.
Dr. Jaiswal has been featured in the LA Weekly, Health News Tribune, and Health News Today, as well as both Disrupt Magazine and Vents Magazine for his contributions to plastic surgery.
While most of us know that the entirety of your digestive organs is located in your abdomen, what do we know about the muscles that protect them? We have that answer for you! Your abdomen consists of 4 primary muscle groups: Transversus abdominis, Rectus abdominis, External oblique muscles, and Internal oblique muscles.
Transversus abdominis – This is the deepest layer of muscle whose main role is to stabilize your torso and maintain internal abdominal pressure.
Rectus abdominis – Resting between your ribs and pubis (the front portion of your pelvic bone), the rectus abdominis contracts to create the sought-after “six-pack”. Its main function is to move the parts of the body between your pubis and ribs.
External oblique muscles – Located on each side of the rectus abdominis, these muscles allow your torso to twist from side to side, depending on which external oblique is contracted.
Internal oblique muscles – Flanked on either side of the rectus abdominis, your internal obliques are located just inside the hip bones. These muscles work in conjunction with your external obliques, but from the opposite side of the one contracting. For example, to get your torso to twist right, your left external oblique is contracting at the same time as your right internal oblique.
What Should I Do Before Tummy Tuck Surgery?
Preparing for surgery is an important step in achieving safe, successful results. If you’re considering abdominoplasty in Las Vegas the process begins with scheduling a personalized consultation with Dr. Jaiswal and his experienced surgical team.
During your one-on-one consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your goals, concerns, and expectations in detail. Open and honest communication is key to ensuring the best possible outcome. Dr. Jaiswal will perform a comprehensive evaluation, review your medical history, and provide expert recommendations tailored specifically to your needs.
Once you decide to move forward with your procedure, our Las Vegas office will schedule your surgery and provide detailed pre-operative and post-operative instructions. These guidelines are carefully designed to maximize your safety, support a smooth recovery, and help you achieve optimal results.
Following all pre-surgery instructions closely will help ensure a seamless surgical experience and recovery.
In addition to a Standard Abdominoplasty, or Tummy Tuck, Dr. Jaiswal offers his Las Vegas patients the mini (or limited) abdominoplasty. This is a smaller procedure that is provided to those with mild skin excess in the lower abdomen and muscle laxity, which occurs when the skin and fibrous bands lose elastin and collagen.
The Mini Tummy Tuck procedure requires a shorter incision than a regular Tummy Tuck, quite often without the need for your naval to be moved. With the placement of a lower horizontal incision, Dr. Jaiswal is given the access he needs to tighten your muscles and remove any excess skin. The resulting scar is similar to a cesarean section, however, it is a bit longer. This procedure also frequently uses Liposuction as part of the process.
Following your surgery, Dr. Jaiswal will wrap your abdomen with a comfortable compression bandage. You’ll need to wear the bandage for several weeks, and not remove it until the surgeon gives you his okay. Bruising and swelling are perfectly normal and will subside after a few weeks. Prescription medication can be prescribed to help alleviate any pain and discomfort. You should only take the medication as prescribed and stop when the pain has gone away.
We highly recommend a family, friend, or loved one stay with you for a few days following surgery, as normal daily activities can be more difficult for a few days and your activity levels should be limited.
The highly trained team at Atelier Plastic Surgery will provide precise post-operative instructions following surgery. These should be followed as closely as possible, as they’ll lead to a quick recovery and reduce the chance of complications.
The cost of a tummy tuck in Las Vegas with Dr. Jaiswal is approximately $12,500. Because no two patients are the same, no two surgeries are either. The best way to get an exact cost will be during your consultation. Dr. Jaiswal will be able to answer any questions and give you a detailed breakdown of all associate costs. Financing options can be made available to help manage the payment process for our patients.

Abdominoplasty FAQs
Your questions on tummy tuck surgeries in Las Vegas answered
What happens if I become pregnant after my Tummy Tuck?
You’ve just started getting used to your new, flatter stomach but now, you’ve learned that you’re pregnant. What do you do? Well, first, Congratulations! Second, there is no need to worry! The female body is almost magical and will accommodate the developing new addition to your family. There are no risk factors, although your midsection will probably feel tighter. The tissue (or fascia) between your abdominal muscles will stretch, as well as the skin on your belly. There is the possibility that you may develop some skin redundancy, in which case a touch-up may be required to achieve your prepregnancy results.
What are the risks with a tummy tuck?
As with all plastic surgery operations, there is some risk. Our expert surgical team does everything possible to minimize the risks as much as possible. During your consultation, Dr. Jaiswal will go over all complications and risks that have been associated with the surgery. Below, we’ve listed a few:
*It’s important to consult with your surgeon if you have any questions.
What can a tummy tuck not do?
A tummy tuck is not a weight loss surgery. It’s a body contouring procedure used to create a more aesthetically pleasing figure. The surgery can also not prevent you from gaining weight in the future. Common reasons patients gain weight are pregnancy, age, and hereditary reasons. While a tummy tuck can be a fantastic solution and the results can be permanent, a healthy diet and exercise are the only way to maintain the results.
How long until I see the results of the tummy tuck?
You will notice an immediate improvement in your abdominal contour after your Las Vegas tummy tuck, but final results become more visible as swelling subsides over the following weeks and months.
How long will the results last?
Tummy tuck results are permanent. However, weight gain can still occur. We constantly remind our Las Vegas abdominoplasty patients to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
How long after a tummy tuck can I exercise?
Light walking is encouraged shortly after surgery, but more strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least 4–6 weeks. Dr. Jaiswal will provide personalized guidance based on your recovery progress.
Is a tummy tuck a solution for obesity?
No, this surgery is not a solution for obesity. Abdominoplasty patients should be close to their ideal weight before surgery. The procedure will help you shed a few pounds when removing stubborn fat and excess skin, but it’s not a solution for obesity.
What should I wear after a tummy tuck?
After your Las Vegas tummy tuck, patients are typically advised to wear a medical-grade compression garment for several weeks. The garment helps reduce swelling, support proper healing, and shape the abdomen for the best results. It should be worn consistently, removing it only briefly as directed by Dr. Rohit Jaiswal. Choosing a snug but comfortable fit ensures adequate support without restricting circulation. Proper use of the compression garment is essential for a smooth, contoured outcome and a more comfortable recovery.
What’s the difference between a tummy tuck and liposuction?
The two surgeries definitely have similarities, as they are both designed to sculpt the body, giving you a slimmer appearance. Patients often feel they need one when in reality they need the other. During your consultation, Dr. Jaiswal will be able to provide his expert recommendation on which procedure will be best for you. Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that is used to remove fatty deposits, it does not tighten the abdomen muscles. The only procedure that will do that, is a tummy tuck. Oftentimes, the procedures can be combined which will produce an even more desired appearance and optimal results.
Can I combine my tummy tuck with other procedures?
Absolutely! Many of our patients combine their abdominoplasty with breast surgery, such as breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast reduction. We call this a mommy makeover, as it’s designed to help restore a woman’s body to her pre-pregnancy figure. Oftentimes, liposuction is also done in conjunction with tummy tuck surgery. Other procedures patients commonly get are a thigh lift or arm lift.
