Journey To Confidence
At your consultation, you will meet with our patient care team to review your medical history as well as your goals for surgery. You will then meet with your surgeon to discuss the details of the procedure, recovery and expectations as well as create a surgical plan to achieve natural, contoured results. Our office staff will provide you with a surgical quote and assist in scheduling a surgery date.
You will have a pre-operative appointment three weeks prior to surgery. At this appointment, you will sign surgical consents, discuss any last minute questions and concerns, get your pre surgery goodie bag and get further pre- and post-surgery instructions. Photos will be taken at this appointment.
You will arrive at our accredited surgery center about an hour before the procedure begins. You will meet with our incredible surgical team to get you comfortable in preparation for your upcoming procedure. The procedure typically takes about 3 hours after which you will recover in our post surgical recovery room until your caregiver arrives to pick you up. Patients will stay with a nurse for the first night to monitor and care for you while you recover.
After surgery, you may notice some bruising, swelling, inflammation and tenderness. It is imperative to keep proper positioning when walking and resting to minimize complications. Make sure you are walking frequently, drinking lots of fluids and getting lots of protein to aid in a smooth recovery.
Bruising and swelling will start within 1-3 days. Make sure to take your Bromelain and Arnica to minimize the effects of bruising and swelling. You may feel tightness, tingling, and numbness that should start to subside over the next couple of weeks. It is recommended to refrain from strenuous activity for 6-8 weeks following abdominoplasty surgery. Patients are typically advised to wear a compression garment for 6-8 weeks to help minimize bruising and swelling. At Aesthetica, your safety and recovery are our top priorities. We provide frequent post-operative visits to monitor your progress closely and ensure optimal healing. Additionally, patients have 24/7 access to an on-call nurse for any urgent concerns or questions that may arise during recovery.
Experience the transformation, notice the difference, and embrace your renewed confidence. Patients will notice immediate results after abdominoplasty surgery with optimal results appearing over the next 6-9 months as swelling subsides. Most patients feel deeply reassured in their decision to undergo abdominoplasty surgery, knowing they’ve taken an important step toward achieving balance, comfort, and results that reflect their aesthetic goals.

Dr. Curiel has been extremely professional and has made this experience better than I hoped. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a wonderful surgeon.

What is the difference between a mini tummy tuck and a full tummy tuck?
Mini tummy tuck surgery typically addresses concerns below the belly button. A full tummy tuck addresses loose skin and diastasis above and below the belly button. At your consultation, your surgeon will help you determine which procedure is right for you.
Why are more men from Salt Lake City choosing abdominoplasty?
More men from Salt Lake City are choosing abdominoplasty to address excess abdominal skin, stubborn fullness, and weakened abdominal muscles that may not improve through diet and exercise alone. The procedure can help create a firmer, more defined midsection and enhance overall body contours.
