Tummy Tuck Surgery
Age is not a factor in performing a tummy tuck - anyone with excessive loose skin can consider having this operation. It is important to note that a tummy tuck is not a substitute for weight loss. The best results are seen in patients who have already brought their weight under control and who are looking for a more defined look.
I sometimes recommend that Tummy Tuck patients who are heavier than their ideal weight have liposuction prior to tummy tuck in order to reduce excessive abdominal fat before having a tummy tuck. The exact surgical plan will be completely customized and something that I discuss in detail during the consultation visit. A tummy tuck can also be combined with other procedures such as breast reshaping. The combination of a flatter tummy with a full perky breast shape can make an amazing change to overall body contour.
Tummy tuck surgery has become one of the most routinely performed and most satisfying cosmetic surgical procedures in my surgical practice. My patients love their new look!
