Loose skin, weakened abdominal muscles, and stubborn tissue that does not respond to diet or exercise are concerns many people have for years without knowing a clear path forward. A tummy tuck at Advanced Concepts in Plastic Surgery can provide a solution. This procedure addresses underlying structural issues that lifestyle changes alone cannot reach, delivering visible, long-lasting results.
Dr. Koneru has over 28 years of experience performing abdominoplasty and approaches every procedure with a level of personalization that reflects a genuine commitment to each patient’s goals. Whether you are recovering from pregnancy, significant weight loss, or the natural changes that come with time, the benefits of a tummy tuck in New Braunfels extend well beyond what you see in the mirror.
The most immediate advantage of an abdominoplasty for our New Braunfels patients is the physical transformation of the abdominal area. Dr. Koneru removes excess skin and fat, repairs separated or weakened abdominal muscles, and reshapes the midsection into a smoother, firmer contour. For patients dealing with diastasis recti—a condition in which the abdominal muscles have separated due to pregnancy or significant weight fluctuation—a tummy tuck addresses this directly, restoring core strength and stability alongside cosmetic improvement.
Patients who have lost a significant amount of weight, including those using GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide or tirzepatide, often find that the abdominal area is most affected by loose, overhanging skin. A tummy tuck removes this excess tissue and creates a result that reflects the effort already invested in reaching a healthier weight.
Dr. Koneru performs drainless tummy tucks, which offer the same transformative results as traditional abdominoplasty but with a significantly more comfortable recovery. Progressive tension sutures eliminate the need for surgical drains, reducing postoperative discomfort and simplifying the healing process from the very beginning.
One of the benefits of choosing Dr. Koneru for your tummy tuck in New Braunfels is that he can support you throughout your recovery. Postoperative care includes Z Wave therapy, a treatment that supports tissue recovery and helps optimize your final results. We build this into your care plan, so you do not need to seek out supplemental services.
Dr. Koneru also follows the FRAPS™ protocol—Fast Recovery After Plastic Surgery—a structured approach to postoperative care designed to help patients heal more efficiently and return to their normal routines as comfortably as possible. If you have a demanding schedule, we offer telemed follow-up appointments so you can stay on track with your recovery without taking extra time away from work.
When your weight remains stable after surgery, your results can last for many years. Gaining or losing a significant amount of weight after your procedure may alter your results.
