If loose skin or separated muscles are keeping you from feeling like yourself, exploring tummy tuck in Camas can be a thoughtful next step. In our boutique practice, we listen first, then craft a plan that respects your routines, goals, and timeline so your aesthetic journey feels calm and supported.
As one of only a few area plastic surgeons who completed a dedicated aesthetic surgery fellowship, Dr. Gilson brings advanced techniques and a caring, personalized touch. Your plan for abdominoplasty will focus on proportional contours and results that look natural in everyday life—whether that includes school drop-off, desk work, or weekend hikes by the river.
Many people in Camas seek a flatter, stronger-looking midsection due to pregnancy, weight changes, or aging. If you are near your goal weight and want a smoother profile, abdominoplasty can address lax skin and repair diastasis for a more supported core.
Common goals for a tummy tuck include:
We will discuss your health history and tailor a plan that fits your lifestyle, so the improvements feel natural and sustainable.
Your first visit is a simple conversation. We learn what you notice, what you want to change, and what will feel authentic in clothes and swimwear. Your roadmap for tummy tuck surgery will outline options, timing, recovery expectations, and how our Camas team will support you at each step. Our approach is bespoke—no templated plans—so your results match your anatomy and priorities.
During surgery, Dr. Gilson will carefully remove excess skin and tighten the abdominal wall in order to restore support. As a fellowship-trained aesthetic surgeon, Dr. Gilson plans the incisions thoughtfully and refines your waist for balanced contours. He performs every step himself, so you have unified and attentive care for abdominal contouring in Camas from consultation through follow-ups.
We will guide you through a straightforward recovery plan, including mobility tips, garment use, and check-ins, to keep you comfortable and ensure healing. Our focus during recovery is clear communication and practical routines that fit real life, so you feel cared for and confident.
During the first week, you will take frequent short walks, sleep slightly elevated, and wear a compression garment full-time. If drains are placed, we will advise on their daily care and then remove them in about five to 10 days. Avoid lifting and strenuous exercises until cleared. Most Camas patients return to desk work in 10 to 14 days, start light cardio in two to three weeks, and reach normal activity levels six to eight weeks after their abdominoplasty.
You work directly with Dr. Gilson, ensuring your experience is consistent and personal. Our Camas team treats you as a whole person, and we will never rush your abdominal contouring surgery decision. This boutique, bespoke model means your aesthetic journey is warm, organized, and truly centered on you.
If you are ready to talk through timing, options, and next steps, we are available to help. Schedule a consultation to discuss tummy tuck in Camas, and let us design a plan that feels natural, supportive, and aligned with your goals.
