Each of the above deformities may be present singly or in combination.  It is important to recognize that no amount of exercise or dieting can correct the problem.  Surgery is designed to address and correct the skin, fat and muscle deformities.

Isolated excess fat may be corrected with liposuction alone.  Excess skin and weakened muscles can only be corrected surgically.  During your consultation we can discuss your unique problems and the best approach to correction.

A full Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) is a major surgical procedure that I usually perform with general anesthesia.  Surgical time is about 2 hours.  Repair of the muscle layer is painful, yet most women return to work after 1-2 weeks and vigorous activity in 6 weeks.  Naturally if you have a less aggressive procedure, recovery is quicker and less painful. 

The usual incision is hidden in the bikini line.  Complications are uncommon in non-smokers.  Smoking dramatically increases the risk of complications and we require smokers to quit for at least one month prior to having the surgery.

Results are usually dramatic and will enhance your self-esteem and confidence.
