If You're Considering a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)... Abdominoplasty, know more commonly as a "tummy tuck," is a major surgical procedure
to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten
the muscles of the abdominal wall. The procedure can dramatically reduce the
appearance of a protruding abdomen. But bear in mind, it does produce a permanent
scar which, depending on the extent of the original problem and the surgery
required to correct it, can extend from hip to hip. Your New Look Abdominoplasty, whether partial or complete, produces excellent results for patients with weakened abdominal muscles or excess skin. And in most cases, the results are long lasting, if you follow a balanced diet and exercise regularly. If you're realistic in your expectations and prepared for the consequences of a permanent scar and a lengthy recovery period, abdominoplasty may be just the answer for you. Your surgeon should describe the procedure in detail, explaining its risks and limitations and making sure you understand the scarring that will result. He or she should also explain the anesthesia to be used, the type of facility where the surgery will be performed, and the costs involved. Don't hesitate to ask your doctor any questions you may have, especially those regarding your expectations and concerns about the results.Back to Body Contouring Click below for information on other surgeries we offer: Breast Surgeries \\ Head and Neck \\ Reconstructive
