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.

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.
