If you’re considering abdominoplasty…
New York City plastic surgeon Dr. Scott Zevon provides tips on what to expect from this procedure.
Abdominoplasty, known more commonly as a “tummy tuck,” is a major surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. But bear in mind, it does produce a permanent scar, which, depending on the extent of the original problem and the surgery required to correct it, can extend from hip to hip.
If you’re considering abdominoplasty, this will give you a basic understanding of the procedure-when it can help, how it’s performed, and what results you can expect. It can’t answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on the individual patient and the surgeon. If you need a consultation for abdominoplasty, New York City plastic surgeon Dr. Zevon is available to answer any questions about anything you don’t understand.
