Patients ask me why my tummy tucks are better than others. I tell my patients that the contour of their abdomen following my procedure is smooth and tight with fine scars. It is important to combine liposuction with this procedure to develop the nice female curves and softness. All sutures are placed beneath the skin, minimizing the scar. The key to this procedure is attention to detail and avoiding the stigmata of tummy tuck’s (dog ears, irregularities, wide scars and poorly placed scars).

Also, our surgicenter is state of the art with an outstanding  board certified anesthesiologist with 20 years of experience. Aftercare is provided by a RN who gives one on one care.  This provides us the optimal safety situation.

I would love to discuss this procedure with you.

Loose wrinkled abdominal skin and excess fat in the lower abdomen is a common problem. This may occur following pregnancy or weight loss or for genetic reasons. Occasionally liposuction may be the only treatment needed for a protruding abdomen, if the skin tone is good. But if the patient has loose skin and lack of tone in the abdominal area, then an abdominoplasty, commonly called a tummy tuck, may be required.

Abdominoplasty has become one of the most popular procedures I perform. Today the modern woman wants to regain her figure after child bearing, wearing fitted clothing and look natural in her overall contour, both sitting and standing. The best results are achieved with careful incision placement, skin and fat reoval and recreating a natural umbilicus (belly button). The key to a natural umbilicus is placing the scar deep within the contour of the belly button. The stomach muscles are also tightened to flatten the abdomen. Women who have dieted and exercised and unable to correct these problems are excellent candidates for this surgery.

My patients return there abdomen to a beautiful shape that looks great in pants and swimwear. A two week period of time is required for recovery. With modified abdominoplasties, the patient will return to work within ten days. The scar length varies with the women’s contouring and is easily covered by her swimwear and underwear. This is one of the most satisfying operations that I perform.
