Dr. Morin is considered among New Jersey’s top specialists in abdominoplasty surgery and body contouring. His tummy tuck is performed as an outpatient surgery under general anesthesia. It is usually comfortable and performed in just a few hours.
Many patients are concered about a tummy tuck scar, thus Dr. Morin makes the incision low on the abdomen to help hide the scar below the bikini line. Once the incision is made excess abdominal skin and fatty tissue are removed, and the abdominal wall muscles are tightened in the midline. This technique is used to create a sculpted abdominal area.
Finally, although not every cosmetic surgery needs it, in most cases, liposuction in the flank area benefits the final contours. To finish your transformation, Dr. Morin creates a beautiful, new belly button. This results in a flatter, firmer, tighter, and younger-looking “tummy” that has excellent contours and achieves a great shape.
Dr. Morin uses individually tied sutures to offer the very best abdominoplasty results. This helps create tightly sculpted abs. It also prevents the possibility of upper abdominal fullness that may happen if only one suture is used.
In many cases, patients recover and heal quickly after tummy tuck surgery. Aside from a quick recovery, Dr. Morin also uses direct defatting. This technique is a method of removing fat from under the abdominal skin flap.
The results? A thinner appearandce, with tighter and more defined abs. Patients usually see a well-contoured hourglass torso and a beautifully designed belly button.
Ready to start looking your best? We offer virtual and in-office consultations.
Usually, one week after an abdominoplasty, the patient will use drains. The patient may also wear a compression garment and take pain medication to be more comfortable. In some patients, discomfort and swelling may occur after surgery.
We do everything we can to support patients through the recovery process. For instance, our patients are given our unique recovery guide. This guide includes supplements, vitamins, medications, and carefully timed activities that will promote healing.
During this time, you should still avoid heavy lifting and excessive exercise. However, you can start walking and doing light exercise. Over the next few days, swelling and bruising will begin to go away.
In this time period, swelling and bruising will continue to fade away. There are things you can do to feel more comfortable. For instance, Dr. Morin suggests lymphatic massage to the liposuction areas. During this time, you can gradually increase your activity levels and begin lifting light children.
During this time, you’ll begin to enjoy sculpted results. At this point, you can slowly resume strenuous exercise, once approved by Dr. Morin.
At this point, almost all swelling will have gone down. Finally, you can enjoy the full results from your surgery and return to all of your favorite activities.
Dr. Morin will review your body type, and discuss the best tummy tuck NJ has to offer. He bases his decision on your specific build, degree of excess skin and fat, and appearance goals. By using sutures, he carefully repairs and tightens the abdominal muscles to create natural results.
The type of surgery depends on a few major factors. Those factors include the amount of excess skin patients have in their upper and lower abdomen. For those with a large amount of extra skin, a complete or even an extended abdominoplasty might be suggested.
Some women only have a small amount of excess skin on their bellies. In this case, a mini-abdominoplasty is the best choice. You can read more about the types of abdominoplasty surgery below:
There are many benefits to having abdominoplasty surgery. Apart from the cosmetic and emotional benefits, such as improved confidence. Patients also experience medical benefits, including:
Dr. Morin will discuss all the benefits and side effects with you during your consultation with him.
Women bothered by loose, hanging skin in the abdominal area, or have weak abdominal muscles due to previous pregnancies, are excellent candidates.
Often, candidates for NJ tummy tucks are also bothered by stubborn fat deposits in the bra area, love handles, and thighs. These fatty areas are unresponsive to diet and exercise routines. Before you decide to have a tummy tuck in New Jersey, think about your expectations.
After giving birth, most moms are eager to regain their pre-pregnancy shape with a tummy tuck. Dr. Morin suggests that patients wait 6 months after their final child is born before having surgery.
Moreover, Dr. Morin doesn’t believe in combining abdominoplasty with a C-section. He believes that a woman’s uterus needs time to heal and return to its pre-pregnancy size. Healing must be done before remodeling the surrounding skin and soft tissue.
A tummy tuck is usually done under general anesthesia and can be accompanied by slight pain. We offer pain medication to keep you comfortable during the procedure.
Usually, this pain goes away quickly. This quick recovery time means patients can return to their normal activities of daily living within a week. Dr. Morin and his compassionate staff will help you get through recovery comfortably.
Liposuction of the flanks and back is almost always combined with surgery in order to get rid of fat. Liposuction can also be used on other areas of the body, like the inner or outer thighs and the upper arms.
As part of a Mommy Makeover, tummy tuck surgery is combined with either breast augmentation or a breast lift.
Maintaining an active lifestyle can help you stay in shape. However, no treatment can prevent the natural aging process, and your entire body will continue to age over time.
The procedure is usually considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance. Exceptions depend on individual policy and medical necessity (e.g., panniculectomy with documented issues).
The cost of a tummy tuck in New Jersey varies depending on several factors. These include the complexity of the procedure, whether a full or mini-abdominoplasty is performed, if liposuction or other procedures are combined, and the patient’s unique anatomy and goals. Additional considerations include anesthesia, surgical facility fees, and post-operative care. Dr. Morin provides personalized consultations to create a tailored plan and accurate cost estimate for each patient.

Yes, pregnancy is possible after abdominoplasty, but future pregnancy may alter results and is often recommended after childbearing is complete.
Yes, a barely visible scar along the lower abdomen. The incision is usually placed low enough to help hide the scar under undergarments or swimwear.
