Complete abdominal wall repair addressing diastasis recti from the sternum to the pubic bone, combined with wide skin redraping, umbilical repositioning, and flank contouring.
Full Abdominoplasty DetailsTargeted lower abdominal correction through a shorter incision below the bikini line for patients with localized skin laxity and lower muscle bulging without moving the navel.
Mini Tummy Tuck DetailsDesigned for post-bariatric or massive weight loss patients, removing circumferential redundant tissue around the abdomen, hips, flanks, and lower back for true 360-degree support.
Extended Lift DetailsCombining an abdominoplasty with high-definition liposuction of the waist and breast enhancement (breast lift, augmentation, or reduction) under a single comprehensive recovery.
Mommy Makeover DetailsWith dual biomedical and electrical engineering degrees from Duke University, Dr. Prucz designs tummy tucks around biomechanical vector tension. By applying progressive tension sutures internally, he relieves tension on the skin surface, minimizes scar widening, and frequently eliminates the need for uncomfortable post-operative surgical drains.

“I have wanted to get a neck lift forever but I didn’t know who to trust with my surgery. Then I found Dr. Prucz. I was so impressed with him and his staff, I decided to get a neck lift, brow lift, and facelift. I’m so glad I went with Dr. Prucz because he did an amazing job. He and his staff are not only very professional but also very kind. They didn’t treat me like a patient, they treated me like family. I highly recommend Dr. Prucz.”
“Dr. Prucz is an absolute master of his craft. I recently underwent a facelift, eyelid surgery, and liposuction on my chin, and the results have been life-changing. Not only is the outcome incredibly natural-looking, but the entire experience, from initial consultation to post-op care, was top-notch. Dr. Prucz’s expertise and attention to detail are unparalleled. Dr. Prucz’s staff is professional and caring and made the process stress free. I feel more confident than ever, and I owe it all to their remarkable skill and care. Thank you!!!”
A full tummy tuck treats both the upper and lower abdomen, repairing separated rectus abdominis muscles along the entire midline, repositioning the belly button, and removing significant loose skin. A mini tummy tuck addresses only mild skin laxity and localized muscle pooching strictly below the navel through a shorter incision, without moving or altering the umbilicus.
Diastasis recti occurs when pregnancy or heavy abdominal strain stretches the vertical connective tissue (linea alba) between your abdominal muscles. Dr. Prucz performs internal muscle plication, placing strong, permanent sutures to draw the separated muscle bellies back together to the anatomical midline. This internal corset tightens the core, flattens the profile, and improves lumbar back support.
Dr. Prucz carefully plans the horizontal incision low across the lower abdomen, intentionally placing it beneath the waistline of low-rise underwear and swimwear. By utilizing progressive tension suturing internally to bear the healing load, tension across the skin edge is minimized, promoting flat, pale, and discreet scars over time.
Patients are up and walking gently the day of surgery to encourage circulation. Most individuals take 2 weeks off from sedentary work and daily household duties. Light cardio and regular walking resume around week 3 to 4, while core workouts, heavy lifting, and vigorous athletic training are reintroduced safely between 6 to 8 weeks as internal healing solidifies.
Yes. Combining a tummy tuck with umbilical or ventral hernia repair is very common and structurally advantageous. Additionally, combining abdominoplasty with breast lift, augmentation, or reduction — known as a Mommy Makeover — allows patients to address post-pregnancy anatomical changes concurrently under a single surgical anesthetic and recovery window.
