Tummy Tuck
Losing weight and giving birth can cause the skin around the stomach to droop and sag, which can negatively affect your appearance and self-esteem.
An abdominoplasty by Dr. Bernard Kopchinski removes excess skin and other tissue in the midsection, giving you a slimmer and more toned frame.
Why should you consider a tummy tuck at our San Antonio, TX plastic surgery center?
How Abdominoplasty Can Help You
A More Attractive Figure
Sagging skin can bulge and alter the overall shape of your figure. A tummy tuck removes the loose skin, improving your figure and allowing you to wear clothing that fits better.Repaired Abdominal Muscles
Patients often have loose muscles that have separated from the abdominal wall following pregnancy. A tummy tuck can repair separated muscles and incorporate liposuction to give you the fit appearance you desire.Better Overall Physique
A tummy tuck goes beyond just improving the look of your midsection. The results can complement your entire figure for an overall improved appearance.A Boost in Self-Confidence
Excess belly skin, stubborn fat, and other post-pregnancy and post-weight loss issues are often a source of self-consciousness and poor body image. A tummy tuck can improve your self-esteem and help you feel much better about your appearance.How the Procedure Works The Basics of Abdominoplasty
Performed After Weight Loss
A tummy tuck is not a weight loss surgery. It is a body contouring procedure performed after losing a significant amount of weight. It is often done after bariatric surgery, healthy lifestyle changes, or childbirth.
Tightens Tissues
Gaining weight stretches skin out, and the skin doesn't always conform following weight loss. In some cases, surgery is the only solution. It can also repair separated muscles and remove unresponsive fat deposits.

5-Star Ratings from Real Patients
Dr. Kopchinski and his staff are the most professional people in the business. Dr. K takes his time with each potential client to fully explain any questions you have and make you feel comfortable about any procedure. Many other doctors tend to rush you or tell you your questions can be answered from their website. He is detail oriented in his work, and his results are, therefore, phenomenal! I trust Prestige Cosmetics to take care of me.

The Abdominoplasty Treatment Process: A Timeline for the Procedure
What to Expect during Recovery
Pain
Because we use a nerve block during surgery, patients should experience minimized pain and an easier recovery period. We can prescribe medication to aid in any discomfort. Swelling, bruising, and tenderness are to be expected during the first week, but this is normal and manageable.Compression Garment
We will provide a compression garment to be worn for several weeks after your abdominoplasty. This helps your body adjust to the new contours of your midsection, keeps the blood flowing, and facilitates the healing process.Activity
Patients will need a few weeks off from work and strenuous physical activity to heal. Side effects will improve steadily throughout the healing process. We typically encourage patients to take light, regular walks to improve blood circulation in the body.Follow-Ups
Patients will periodically return to our San Antonio plastic surgery office for follow-up visits. These are essential because they allow us to monitor recovery and discuss any issues or concerns following the procedure. Dr. Kopchinski can also clear you for certain activities when the time is right."Look No Further!" Changing Lives in San Antonio, TX
