Definition: Tummy-tuck. The abdominal
muscles are stretched and the skin is loose.
The only cure is to tighten the muscles and
remove the extra skin.
The benefits also extend to the upper thighs
and the pubic area, which are lifted and
tightened. Other benefits are a better back
support and posture. You can wear a bikini
again.
Age: Ages 20 and beyond, for women who have had children and for men and
women with redundant skin after significant weight loss.
Surgical technique: The extra skin is
removed and a new navel is fashioned
from the old one; the muscles are repaired.
Philosophy: An incision that is hidden in a
high cut bikini bottom. A sexy looking belly
button and tummy.
Surgical time and recovery: Surgery takes
3 hours and requires an overnight stay. Drains
to remove fluid are removed at 3 and 7 days.
Stitches are absorbable. The wounds are all healed at 2 weeks but strenuous
sports are limited for 6 months until the muscles repair is strong. Back to work in
10 days.

thighs; also the inner thighs and knees and anywhere else to match the new
tummy.
