A tummy tuck can produce a dramatic change in the shape of one’s abdomen and frontal waistline. By removing a large horizontal ellipse of loose skin and fat, a tightening and flattening effect is seen when the remaining abdominal tissues are put back together. Such reapposition is known as a transposition of the remaining Read More…
The tummy tuck is one of the most commonly performed and satisfying of all body plastic surgery procedures. It is so effective because it does something that diet and exercise can not do at all…remove loose skin. Muscles can be tightened and some fat removed by non-surgical methods but loose and extra skin will Read More…
Abdominal contouring is one of the most common body changes that many patients request.

Looking to reverse the effects of pregnancy on their bodies, they seek breast enhancements and tummy tucks. When put together in a combined procedure, it has become known as a Mommy Makeover.

While a tummy tuck treats excessive lower abdominal skin and fat, the massive weight loss patient presents more of a challenge. The amount of loose skin almost always goes beyond the traditional horizontally-oriented elliptical excision abdominal pattern. Liposuction has little value in these patients because their contour problems are almost exclusively loose skin. Most of Read More…
The concept of a Mommy Makeover has become a very popular plastic surgery procedure in the past decade. While sounding like a novel procedure, it is really nothing more than combining traditional breast and abdominal reshaping procedures in a single one-time operation. When put together they change the two body parts most affected by pregnancy Read More…
