This major surgical procedure is typically performed with general or local anesthesia and a sedative. During a "tummy tuck," our board-certified plastic surgeons will remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. This procedure has been preferred by women who want to improve stretched skin and muscles from pregnancy, and also to reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen.

The incision from abdominoplasty will leave a permanent scar between the hips, which can easily be concealed with a bikini. Abdominoplasty is commonly performed within approximately two to five hours, with a recovery range of around two weeks to a few months. Combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise, your tummy tuck results can last for many years. (Back to Top)

Many weight loss patients have little or no volume in the buttocks. To enhance the contour and have greater fullness we do a procedure called fat grafting or fat transfer. Fat is removed by liposuction from elsewhere on your body, appropriately prepared and then injected into your buttocks, creating fuller and shapelier buttocks. This procedure is very often done along with other procedures. (Back to Top)

A lower body lift restores contour to the lower midsection of the body. Most body lift procedures combine abdominoplasty with a lift to the outer thighs and buttocks. The lower body lift removes skin and excess fat above and below the umbilicus along with the tightening of the abdominal muscles to reshape and contour the body. Where once there was sagging skin on your abdomen, lower back, waist, thighs and buttocks you will find more toned and defined contours. Ultimately the final result will provide a more natural looking, balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance. All patient evaluations and procedures are based on each patient's individual needs.
