tummy tuck

Tummy tuck or abdominoplasty patients overall are a very satisfied group. Many have had children and this operation is an opportunity to plicate the abdominal wall and remove excess skin in a way that diet and exercise can never achieve. Many wish to be able to wear close fitting garments or a swimming costume without having a lower abdominal roll. Often they may have had a caesarian section and the abdominal wall has sagged over the scar causing discomfort.

An important feature of abdominoplasty is tightening the underlying musculature which may be widely spread during previous pregnancy. All skin between the umbilicus and pubic region is removed along with stretch marks. After being dissatisfied with the umbilicoplasty I had observed, I have evolved a technique that I believe leaves a more natural looking umbilicus and avoids the “hole-in-the-ground” look.
