Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)—The Consultation
The best candidates for a tummy tuck are those who are in relatively good shape but are bothered by loose abdominal skin and muscles that won’t respond to diet or exercise.The consultation and examination allows a patient to convey her concerns and goals.
Some patients require the full traditional tummy tuck, and others would do best with the mini-tummy tuck. Others will do well with ultrasonic liposuction only or as an adjunct, and some would be best served with endoscopic abdominal muscle tightening without skin tightening.
Every patient is unique and every plan should be custom-made for the finest results possible. We spend quite a bit of time explaining what results can be expected with each option to provide a realistic goal that will meet or exceed our patients’ expectations.
About 2/3 of our patients combine other procedures, such as breast augmentation or lift, liposuction, or facial surgery with their tummy tuck. They recognize the benefits of one operation and recovery as well as cost and time savings. This is what we affectionately call “The Mommy Makeover”.
