Achieve a flatter, firmer abdomen with expert tummy tuck surgery by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Zubowski.
Pregnancy, significant weight loss, aging, and genetics can all contribute to loose abdominal skin and weakened muscles that don’t respond to diet and exercise alone. Whether you’re dealing with excess skin after massive weight loss, separated abdominal muscles from pregnancy, or simply want to achieve a flatter, more toned midsection, a tummy tuck can help you restore your core and feel confident in your body again.
At Dr. Zubowski’s state-of-the-art Paramus, NJ surgical center, we specialize in tummy tuck surgery that creates dramatic, natural-looking results while strengthening your core. Dr. Robert Zubowski has become one of the most trusted names in abdominoplasty surgery throughout Paramus and Bergen County. Patients from in-state and beyond come to our cosmetic surgery center for body contouring that transforms their silhouette.

Tummy tuck surgery, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a comprehensive body contouring procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying abdominal muscles. Dr. Zubowski uses advanced surgical techniques to create a smoother, firmer abdominal profile that diet and exercise alone cannot achieve. The procedure also repositions the belly button for natural-looking proportions.
Our procedure is performed onsite in an AAAASF-accredited surgical suite with board-certified anesthesiologists ensuring your comfort and safety throughout.

Tummy tuck surgery is performed in our private, fully accredited surgical suite in Paramus, NJ. You’ll be under the care of board-certified anesthesiologists and a dedicated surgical team focused exclusively on your comfort and safety.
Dr. Zubowski performs each step with meticulous attention to detail, removing excess skin and fat while carefully repairing the underlying muscle structure. The incision is strategically placed low on the abdomen to be easily concealed by underwear and swimwear.
Surgery typically takes 2–4 hours depending on the extent of correction needed. You’ll be monitored closely throughout and will need someone to drive you home and stay with you the first night.
Patients describe the transformation as life-changing, noting improved posture, core strength, and confidence in fitted clothing.
Tummy tuck costs vary based on the extent of the procedure and whether it’s combined with other surgeries. Generally, you can expect a range of $15,000–$25,000. A mini tummy tuck costs less, while an extended tummy tuck costs more. We provide exact pricing during your consultation based on your specific needs.
A full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdomen with muscle repair and belly button repositioning. A mini tummy tuck focuses on the area below the belly button with a smaller incision. Dr. Zubowski will recommend the best approach based on your anatomy and goals.
Tummy tuck results are considered permanent as the excess skin and fat are physically removed. However, significant weight gain, future pregnancies, or aging can affect your results. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps preserve your outcomes.
Yes, tummy tuck surgery does result in a permanent scar, but it’s strategically placed low on the abdomen where it can be easily concealed by underwear and swimwear. Dr. Zubowski uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring, and scars typically fade significantly over time.
While it’s physically possible to have children after a tummy tuck, pregnancy can compromise your results by stretching the skin and separating the repaired muscles. We recommend completing your family before undergoing surgery.
Light walking is encouraged immediately after surgery. You can gradually increase activity around 3-4 weeks, with full exercise clearance typically given around 6-8 weeks. Dr. Zubowski will provide specific guidelines based on your healing progress.
Dr. Zubowski offers several tummy tuck approaches based on your specific needs:
Comprehensive procedure addressing the entire abdomen with muscle repair
Less invasive option focusing on the lower abdomen below the belly button
Addresses the abdomen and flanks for comprehensive torso contouring
360-degree body contouring for massive weight loss patients
Addresses excess skin in the upper abdomen (less common)
Removes excess skin both horizontally and vertically for dramatic transformation
Dr. Zubowski will recommend the most appropriate technique during your consultation based on your anatomy, goals, and medical history.
Many patients enhance their results by combining Tummy Tuck surgery with:
Dr. Zubowski will evaluate whether combining procedures can help you achieve your ideal aesthetic goals efficiently and safely.
Specialized techniques for those who have lost 100+ pounds
Recommendation to maintain stable weight for 6-12 months before surgery
