Am I a Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

Tummy tucks are often used after weight loss or pregnancy but can also be used for people with loose skin and stubborn fat in the abdominal region.

During your free consultation, your abdomen will be examined, and we will determine if a tummy tuck is the best option for you.

What Are My Options?

• Mini tummy tuck – This tummy tuck addresses excess skin and fat below the belly button. You will have an incision from hip to hip that will be concealed in your bikini line.
• Full tummy tuck – This tummy tuck addresses excess skin above and below the belly button, and also tightens abdominal muscles. You will have an incision around the belly button and a hip-to-hip incision that can be concealed in your bikini line.

Liposuction Surgery and Options

Liposuction is a contouring procedure that removes stubborn areas of body fat to produce a more proportionate shape. We will carefully consider the area of treatment, appearance, and goals to determine the best course of action.

Liposuction can be an effective tool to enhance your body contours when performed by a skilled and experienced surgeon. By understanding the liposuction process and potential complications, you are better equipped to make informed decisions about your treatment. Always consult with a board-certified surgeon who can assess your individual circumstances and guide you through the entire process, prioritizing your safety and desired outcomes.

There are 3 surgical options when it comes to liposuction:

• SmartLipo
• Ultrasound-assisted liposuction
• Power-assisted liposuction

It is important to consider the following if you are considering liposuction:

• This is not a method for weight loss
• Excellent treatment to remove unwanted body fat
• This does not treat excess and saggy skin

It is common for patients to experience swelling after the procedure. To help with swelling and promote healing, a compression garment is worn for 4-6 weeks post-surgery. Avoid strenuous exercise for 4 weeks after your procedure. Results will be visible between 1 and 3 months afterward.
