Tummy Tuck Surgery or Abdominoplasty Surgery is designed to tighten and remove loose skin and repair abdominal wall looseness or muscle separation that can occur as a result of weight fluctuations or pregnancy.
Tummy Tuck Surgery or Abdominoplasty Surgery is designed to tighten and remove loose skin and repair abdominal wall looseness or muscle separation that can occur as a result of weight fluctuations or pregnancy. Weight gain or pregnancy stretches the skin and causes the skin to lose its elasticity and many times creates stretch marks. It can also pull apart the muscles and loosen the abdominal wall creating a pooch or bulging.
Diet and exercise, although important, often cannot repair or treat the skin and underlying muscles that have been stretched. Even some of the thinnest patients have excessive skin that they just can’t remove that a tummy tuck can help with. If there is excess fat in addition to excess skin, patients may also need to have liposuction as an additional procedure. If the mons pubis is also hanging, patients may also need to have a pubic lift.
Patients on a weight-loss plan should be close to their goal weight before having tummy tuck surgery. For best long term results it is advisable that weight is stable after surgery (without a lot of yo-yoing up and down). Patients can get pregnant after surgery, however, the tissues will likely get stretched out again and they may need to do a revision or re-do after pregnancy. A tummy tuck is not a treatment for obesity. It does not remove the pinch of fat under the skin, or the internal fat (visceral fat). Because internal (visceral fat) creates a lot of pressure, there is a limit to how much tightening can safely be performed in a tummy tuck. As I’ve mentioned before, plastic surgery is not an exact science. Every person has a unique anatomy and their own idea of what their body goals should be. This is why consultations are vital so we can work together to create the best possible plan, customized for your personal needs and goals.
I will do a detailed consultation, take a complete medical history and conduct a careful examination and develop a customized plan based on your anatomy as well as your aesthetic goals. I consider age, overall health, emotional well being, as well as expectations for surgery when evaluating a candidate for this procedure.
To make sure you have the best possible outcome, it is very important that you do all you can to prepare for your tummy tuck procedure. Here’s what you need to do:

Too often this surgery is performed too aggressively especially with the upper eyelid, creating an unnatural “surprised” look, or changing the natural or cultural shape of the eye making it look fake.
