THE MOMMY MAKEOVER
OFTEN INCLUDES THE NO DRAIN TUMMY TUCK
One of the most common Plastic Surgery Procedures after having babies or extensive weight loss is called the Mommy-Makeover. The Mommy Makeover combines any Breast Enhancement Surgery with Liposuction, Renuvion for Skin Tightening, and a no-drain tummy tuck or skin tuck. For thinner patients, Dr. Finger may opt to perform Breast Enhancement Surgery and Renuvion to tighten skin if the patient has only mild to moderate skin laxity. The need for these procedures is often due to either pregnancy or severe weight gain followed by weight loss, or aging. Some women opt for a Breast Lift and Breast Augmentation, in addition to the Tummy Tuck, others may only want a Breast Augmentation and a Tummy Tuck. Patients often commit to the Mommy Makeover because they do not want to undergo surgery twice. The Mommy Makeover can also be more cost-effective than having surgery multiple times.
No Drain Tummy Tuck – Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty, commonly called a tummy tuck, involves the removal of excess skin and fatty tissue from the abdominal region. This area of the body can lose definition because of a multitude of factors, the most common being pregnancy, extreme fluctuations in weight, and the rapid weight loss that occurs after gastric bypass surgery. The results of abdominoplasty can be dramatic and the procedure is best recommended for patients who have been unable to achieve their goals through diet and exercise. Dr. Finger offers the Tummy Tuck without drains which improves healing time and lessens the chance of seromas.
The Standard Tummy Tuck
The standard abdominoplasty procedure begins with a bikini-shaped horizontal incision across the lower abdomen, between the hip bones. Through this incision, the surgeon is able to tighten the abdominal muscles, remove fat and skin, and reposition the skin. The resulting scar may, in some cases, extend from hip to hip, but will be low enough to be easily concealed beneath most swimwear.
