Sculpt Your Core Without the Knife

For many individuals, the decision to undergo surgery is daunting. You may have stubborn pockets of fat or mild skin laxity that diet and exercise cannot fix, but a full surgical procedure feels too extreme. The Non-Surgical Tummy Tuck is the bridge between gym results and surgical intervention.
At Avané Plastic Surgery, we utilize a combination of FDA-cleared technologies to mimic the results of an abdominoplasty without a single incision. By layering treatments that freeze fat, tighten skin via radiofrequency, and stimulate deep muscle contractions, we can contour your midsection in a way that fits your busy lifestyle. There is no anesthesia, no scarring, and no recovery time.
Have significant loose skin or muscle separation? You may require a Surgical Tummy Tuck.
Unlike surgery, which mechanically removes tissue, non-surgical body contouring works by triggering your body's natural biological processes. We customize a "stack" of treatments to address your specific concerns.
We use technologies like CoolSculpting® or Injection Lipolysis to target fat cells. These treatments damage the structural integrity of the fat cell (either by freezing or chemical breakdown). Over the following weeks, your body naturally filters these dead cells out through the lymphatic system.
Loose skin is treated with thermal energy using devices like InMode EvolveX®, BodyTite®, or ThermiTight®. The heat stimulates new collagen and elastin production, causing the skin to retract and firm up over the muscle.
For a true "tuck" effect, the abdominal wall must be strong. We use EmSculpt® technology to induce supramaximal contractions. One session is equivalent to doing thousands of crunches, thickening the muscle fibers and pulling the stomach in flatter.
We do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach. Your treatment plan will utilize the best tools for your anatomy.
Non-surgical treatments are fantastic, but they have limitations. Take this check to see if you are the ideal candidate.

Yes. Technologies like CoolSculpting and EvolveX cause permanent fat cell death. Once those cells are eliminated by the body, they do not regenerate. However, the remaining fat cells can still expand if you gain weight, so a healthy lifestyle is key.
This depends on your starting point and the technology used. CoolSculpting may only require 1 or 2 sessions. Radiofrequency treatments like EvolveX typically require a series of 3 to 6 weekly sessions for optimal skin tightening.
Most patients describe the feeling as minor discomfort. You might feel a "tug" or "chill" initially, but the area quickly goes numb or gets used to the heat. Post-treatment, you might feel a bit sore, like you did a heavy ab workout.
Only partially. Technologies like EmSculpt can strengthen the abdominal muscles and improve the gap to a degree.11 However, severe separation from pregnancy usually requires surgical repair for full functional correction.
