Tummy Tuck

The tummy tuck is meant for those individuals who are in relatively good shape but are bothered by a large fatty deposit or loose abdominal skin that won't respond to diet or exercise. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, 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. Having a tummy tuck can help those individuals dramatically reduce the appearance of their protruding abdomen.

At our practice in New York, tummy tuck specialist Dr. Zevon is the surgeon who will perform your tummy tuck. He is trained in body contouring, and his results are generally quite positive. Nevertheless, there are always risks associated with surgery and specific complications associated with this procedure. It is best to ask your questions and concerns to Dr. Zevon at his New York office, during consultation. If you decide to proceed with the tummy tuck, you will find that there is a complete and partial tummy tuck. Click here to find out more about these procedures. A complete tummy tuck procedure usually takes two to five hours, depending on the extent of work required. A partial tummy tuck may take an hour or two for the surgeon to perform. It may take you weeks, or possibly months to feel like your old self again. However a tummy tuck, whether partial or complete, produces excellent results for those New York patients with weakened abdominal muscles or excess skin.
