I was really pleased with my experience with Dr. Murphy's office. First impressions are important and mine started with a phone call. The whole staff is professional and knowledgeable. I traveled from Northwest Montana. I was initially impressed with his gallery and was even more pleased with my own results. He is a wonderful surgeon and delivered the desired results.

I had THE BEST experience with Dr. Murphy and his team. Dr.Murphy is so nice and you can tell he wants to help you get to where you want to be cosmetically. He takes his time, listens to your concerns, and as cliche as it sounds makes your cosmetic dreams come true. I came out of surgery with him as a brand new woman. On top of all that he has super good pricing. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Murphy Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa.

Helping Thousands of Patients Achieve Their Goals
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that contours the abdomen through muscle tightening and the removal of excess skin and fat. In 2023, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that tummy tucks were the 3rd most commonly performed cosmetic surgical procedure in the U.S., with 170,000 procedures performed.
Tailoring Procedures to You
We customize each tummy tuck to the needs of the patient, offering options like:
Traditional Tummy Tuck: Your standard tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area.
Mini Tummy Tuck: If you have less skin and fat to remove and only want to tighten the lower abdominal area, you could benefit from a mini tummy tuck, which involves a shorter scar.
Extended Tummy Tuck: If you have excessive skin and fat on the abdomen that extends to your flanks, an extended tummy tuck could be a better option. However, you'll have a longer scar.
Scar Revision: If your primary concern is unsightly scarring, Dr. James E. Murphy can perform a scar revision with your tummy tuck.
“Been going to Dr Murphy for a few years he did a tummy tuck a few years ago. In that area I had over 5 major surgeries and had massive scar tissue he was able to remove and I haven't had any pain since. Completely love Dr Murphy and his very talented staff.” - Karen P.
Qualifying for Tummy Tuck Surgery
To be considered for a tummy tuck, you should be in good physical health, not smoke, and have realistic expectations for the results of your treatment. This is a common basic requirement for many plastic surgery procedures.
A tummy tuck can be a great option if you have experienced significant weight loss. You may have skin that is too stretched to adjust to the slimmer contours of your abdomen. A tummy tuck can eliminate that skin and help you achieve a slimmer physique.
Many women have excess skin, loose abdominal muscles, and stretch marks after having children. A tummy tuck can improve your curves, tighten the tummy, and even eliminate stretch marks after pregnancy and childbirth.

FAQ About Tummy Tucks in Reno, NV
Will there be scarring after my tummy tuck?
Yes, but it can vary. Patients will experience a degree of scarring at their incision sites after their abdominoplasty, but the extent depends on the type of tummy tuck procedure that is performed. For instance, a mini tummy tuck will require smaller and fewer incisions than an extended tummy tuck. Dr. James E. Murphy believes in taking a conservative approach to surgery to minimize scarring. With care and time, post-op scarring will usually fade. Scars can also be hidden easily with clothing, allowing you to feel confident in your new figure.
Can I tighten my abdominal muscles with a tummy tuck?
Yes. After pregnancy, many people notice that their abdominal muscles are weaker or that they have separated. This is a normal occurrence and does not require treatment. However, if you wish you could refine the abdominal area and strengthen your muscles, then a tummy tuck from our award-winning plastic surgeon can provide the results you're looking for.
Can a tummy tuck replace weight loss?
No, a tummy tuck is not a weight loss substitute. While you will likely lose several pounds of excess skin and fat during your procedure, abdominoplasty is not intended to replace a strict diet and exercise regimen. In fact, patients must be within about 10-15 pounds of their goal weight to be considered for the procedure, even if it includes added liposuction. Instead, we encourage you to view abdominoplasty as a great way to finalize the results of your weight loss.
