What is a S.M.A.R.T. Tummy Tuck?
In the past, patients bothered by excess abdominal skin, stubborn fat pockets, and separated abdominal muscles due to pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or genetics were only given the option of invasive surgery such as a tummy tuck. Defyne is proud to offer a minimally invasive alternative for those individuals who do not wish to undergo a traditional tummy tuck procedure but are looking for noticeable, natural-looking improvements. This cutting-edge solution is our Signature Procedure known as the S.M.A.R.T Tummy Tuck.
Achieve the ultimate contoured physique with our signature S.M.A.R.T. Tummy tuck. This no-cut procedure not only flattens the abdomen but also smooths back rolls, enhancing the projection of both the breasts and buttocks. Using our Safe Minimally-invasive Advanced Rejuvenation Technique (S.M.A.R.T.), the process often includes liposuction to the flanks, upper and lower abdomen, and upper and lower back as well as skin tightening using radiofrequency and micro coring techniques. By removing up to 11 pounds of fat, tightening the skin, and addressing muscle diastasis with minimal, nearly invisible incisions, we deliver a powerful, scar-free body contouring experience.
Signature Approach
S.M.A.R.T. Tummy Tuck
Overview:
The S.M.A.R.T Tummy Tuck procedure is a minimally invasive alternative to a traditional tummy tuck for those who are ideal candidates. Patients can achieve an hourglass figure through the use of our proprietary combination of cutting-edge techniques.
Benefits:
Minimally-invasive, personalized procedure, quick recovery, noticeable, natural-looking results.
Considerations:
Individuals with large amounts of excess abdominal skin or fat may find traditional tummy tuck surgery to be a better option. A consutlation with one of our board-certified surgeons can help determine which option is right for you.
Traditional Approach
Tummy Tuck Surgery
Overview:
Traditional tummy tuck surgery involves removing excess fat and skin of the abdomen and tightening the muscles underneath by creating incisions hidden below the bikini line and usually moving the belly button to a more natural position.
Benefits:
This procedure is ideal for patients who have moderate to severe skin laxity and significant stretch marks. Results include a flatter, more toned abdomen and long-lasting results.
Considerations:
Because tummy tuck surgery is a more invasive surgical procedure, the procedure must be done asleep, an incision will be created in an area that will be concealed by underwear and shadows, and downtime will be required.

are you a good fit?
S.M.A.R.T Tummy Tuck
Ideal candidates for the S.M.A.R.T Tummy Tuck are those who wish to eliminate stubborn unwanted fat and tighten the surrounding skin without undergoing a traditional tummy tuck surgery. It is important to note that the S.M.A.R.T Tummy Tuck procedure is primarily a body contouring solution, so patients should be close to their ideal body weight.
Because a S.M.A.R.T Tummy Tuck aims to achieve a tighter, smoother abdomen, future pregnancy can negatively impact results. To learn more about candidacy and if this procedure is correct for achieving your personal aesthetic goals, please contact our Scottsdale, AZ, practice today to schedule a consultation.
Defyne Approach
At Defyne, we understand that each person is unique and deserves more than a one-size-fits-all approach. Because of this, our surgeons take the time to create individually tailored surgical plans for each of our patients. Using the most advanced surgical methods, we aim to achieve natural-looking results while minimizing the risk of side effects.
What To Expect
During your consultation appointment with one of our Defyne board-certified plastic surgeons, a unique treatment plan will be created to help you meet your aesthetic goals. During this time, your surgeon will also discuss ways in which you can prepare for your S.M.A.R.T Tummy Tuck procedure. This may include altering or stopping certain medications, undergoing certain tests, stopping smoking, and more.
This no-cut procedure is performed awake, in the comforts of our very own specialized procedure rooms, without the need for general anesthesia. This means no sleeping, no tube, and no groggy recovery. Local anesthesia ensures you won’t feel a thing while our surgeons work, and our team will be with you throughout the process. We have dubbed this process our “Talk n’ Tuck” approach, which decreases procedure time, complication risks, and post-procedure pain and ensures a faster recovery time.
The S.M.A.R.T Tummy Tuck procedure is backed by science and curated to deliver natural-looking results. Our S.M.A.R.T Tummy Tuck technique creates an hourglass form by flattening the entire abdomen and removing rolls from the back and flanks, therefore increasing the projection of the breast and buttock for a more evenly balanced body contour.
These transformative results are achieved through the use of several proven body contouring treatments, including liposuction for fat removal, radiofrequency thermal energy, and microcoring techniques for treating excess and loose skin.
Muscle diastasis that often exists post-pregnancy or after weight loss can also be addressed robotically for a tighter, firmer, smoother abdominal region while eliminating incisions and scars.
Because the S.M.A.R.T Tummy Tuck is less invasive than a traditional tummy tuck procedure, downtime is eliminated. No drains are placed following treatment, and patients are encouraged to walk around on the day of surgery. Pain medication is rarely needed following this procedure, as minimal bleeding and soreness occur. Our team will provide you with specific aftercare information to ensure a quick and smooth recovery process.

What Our Patients Say

The personalized approach Dr. Turin took in discussing my needs and concerns made me feel confident that I was in the best hands possible. The outcome of the reconstruction procedure went beyond my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The recovery process was smooth, and I felt supported every step of the way.
- O.S.
Dr. Tessler is fantastic, he listened to everything I was nervous about and made me feel very comfortable. He gave me exactly what I was imagining and hoping for! All of the staff was very welcoming, sweet, and kind as well. I couldn’t recommend them enough!
- K.M.
Next to being an extremely intelligent and beyond-competent surgeon, Dr. Tessler is one of the coolest, down-to-earth individuals I’ve met. He will answer a million questions and never once makes you feel rushed. He explains things in a way that breaks down the process but doesn’t lose the value of his experience or professionalism. The first time I met him he made me feel like we’ve known each other for forever (that’s how comfortable he made me feel)!
