Body contouring is often necessary after a patient has recently lost massive amounts of weight or has gone through a physical trauma such as giving birth. Exercise and diet alone cannot reverse the effects of stretching skin cells beyond their elasticity, causing excess flesh to fold over unappealingly. Muscles can also loose strength and the ability to repair themselves, particularly after the birthing process. The stomach is one of the first areas to suffer after weight loss or birth.

Although abdominoplasty procedures have dramatic results, they can be very intense and require a large commitment and recovery period. The tummy tuck procedure begins by creating an...

While liposuction and a tummy tuck both work to create a slimmer and flatter stomach in cosmetic surgery patients, the procedures are very different and only apply in very specific situations.

Many women decide, after having children, to get a tummy tuck and restore their flat tummy. Although sometimes exercise and diet can achieve the wanted result, sometimes a cosmetic surgery is the only way. When considering a post pregnancy tummy tuck, make sure you diet and exercise so you lose as much fat as possible prior to the tummy tuck surgery. Tummy tucks remove loose skin but will not be as effective when you still have weight to lose. In this case, a liposuction might be more suitable. Since many women change their mind and decide to have another child even when they thought they wouldn't, it is advisable to take this into consideration when deciding on a tummy tuck surgery. A tummy tuck is not an easy operation and it requires a recovery period of weeks. Swelling, pain and perhaps a numb feeling will accompany you in this recovery period. If you are not sure that you are done having children, all plastic surgeons will recommend to wait. But what if you have changed your m...

Usually, women are able to regain their body after their first pregnancy, but it gets harder with...

Tummy tuck or abdominoplasty surgery still remains as one of the most dramatic and satisfying of the many body plastic surgery procedures that are available. Removing loose skin and fat, tightening the rectus muscles, and narrowing the side of the waistline with liposuction always makes for a significant change in one's waistline. Even when done in a more limited version (mini-tummy tuck), the flattening effect is always appreciated. Despite these improvements, the one aspect of tummy tuck surgery that patients, and I, did not like was the need for postoperative wound drainage.

Staying in place for up to two weeks after the procedure, they were necessary to remove fluids that accumulated from the open space or layer left behind. (between the underside of the skin and the muscle)They could not be removed until enough internal healing had occurred as evidenced by a decrease in the amount...
