AbEX™ was created to give our patients a flat, tight tummy in just one visit, without general anesthesia and heavy downtime. While a tummy tuck is done under general anesthesia, AbEX™ is done under localized anesthesia which results in fewer complications, less downtime, and faster patient recovery as we completely avoid the risk associated with general anesthesia. AbEX is done under localized anesthesia, meaning it does not have as long of downtime following the procedure as a traditional Tummy Tuck does.

Good candidates for AbEX™ are generally the same good candidates for a tummy tuck. People with loose skin and extra stomach fat which they want to be removed.

This is one of the key benefits of AbEX™ since we do not perform adjustments to stomach muscles there is much faster recovery. Our patients are typically back to normal activities in 5-7 days and back to working out in 3-4 weeks. In contrast, Tummy Tuck patients typically will take 3-4 weeks to resume normal activities and typically can’t work out for at least three months.
