At Parkins Plastic Surgery, Dr. Maida Parkins tailors each procedure to help you achieve a firmer, flatter abdomen with long-lasting results. Here’s what you can expect:
- Eliminates excess skin for a smoother, more toned appearance
- Tightens and repairs weakened or separated abdominal muscles
- Reduces stubborn belly fat that diet and exercise can’t target

- Removes some stretch marks by eliminating excess lower abdominal skin
- Boosts confidence and comfort in clothing and swimwear
Types of Tummy Tucks
Standard Tummy Tuck
A standard tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles for a flatter, firmer midsection. The incision runs from hip to hip, allowing Dr. Maida Parkins to repair muscle separation and contour the waistline. The belly button is also repositioned for a natural look, making this a great option for post-pregnancy or moderate weight loss.
Extended Tummy Tuck
An extended tummy tuck targets the midsection, flanks, and lower back, making it ideal for those with significant skin laxity. The incision extends beyond the hips for enhanced contouring. This procedure is perfect for patients who have lost a large amount of weight and want a more sculpted, balanced figure.
Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck
The Fleur-de-Lis tummy tuck removes excess skin using both a horizontal and vertical incision, providing dramatic reshaping. It’s best suited for patients with significant weight loss who need extra tightening in the midsection. Dr. Parkins uses advanced techniques to create a more defined, proportionate torso with minimal scarring.
Who Are The Best Candidates
A tummy tuck is an excellent option for individuals looking to achieve a firmer, more contoured midsection. Dr. Maida Parkins carefully evaluates each patient to ensure they are the right fit for the procedure. You may be a great candidate if you:
- Have excess, loose skin around your abdomen due to weight loss or pregnancy
- Struggle with weakened or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
- Are at or near your ideal weight but can’t achieve a flat stomach with diet and exercise
- Are in good overall health and do not smoke, or are willing to quit before and after surgery
- Have realistic expectations about the results and understand the recovery process
- Are finished having children, as future pregnancies can affect your results
- Have a BMI of 30 or below, as maintaining a healthy weight contributes to optimal surgical results
