Getting a tummy tuck is a decision that should not be taken lightly. Tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that offers great benefits to the patients that get it done. Since large incisions will be made to the body and muscles in the abdominal area, it is highly recommended that patients arrange for someone to help them following the surgery. It is ideal to have someone help you for at least the first three days to a week after a tummy tuck surgery.
As every individual's "trouble spots" may be different, the abdominoplasty procedure is carefully tailored to your specific needs. During your initial consultation , we will thoroughly discuss your desires and expectations for your tummy tuck surgery. He will conduct a thorough examination of the skin, soft tissue and muscles of the abdomen and flanks. He will carefully review the abdominoplasty procedure, or combination of procedures, that suit you best. Although occasionally described as "mini abdominoplasty" or "mini tummy tuck", "modified abdominoplasty", or "classical abdominoplasty", the abdominoplasty procedure that best suits your needs will be carefully customized, using the most limited incisions possible and the most appropriate techniques. The Surgeon will answer all questions that you might have regarding any step of the process.

Additionally, patients considering a tummy tuck should be aware that pregnancy will affect the results achieved with this procedure. Tummy tuck is a procedure highly recommended for women who have had children and are certain that they will not get pregnant again. In the case that you do get pregnant, please be aware that that you will most likely need a tummy tuck revision in order to achieve a flat tummy again.
