Individuals looking to achieve a slenderized, more attractive midsection may be ideal candidates for tummy tuck surgery ("abdominoplasty"). At his practice near Scottsdale, tummy tuck surgeon Robert J. Spies, M.D., F.A.C.S. can help patients achieve a dramatic improvement to their self-image through plastic surgery. Through honesty and integrity, he ensures a comfortable experience for the patient.
Based on your anatomy and individual goals, Scottsdale cosmetic surgeon Dr. Spies will recommend the most appropriate treatment for you - a full tummy tuck or partial abdominoplasty. Before doing so, it is important that you thoroughly research the procedure and sit down with Dr. Spies for a consultation. At this time, he will answer all of your questions and discuss several factors involving your procedure.
Tummy tuck surgery is designed for those who have sagging skin in the midsection, and want to reduce it excess amount. Additionally, abdominoplasty is also for individuals who have stretched-out stomach muscles; this is often caused by the effect of multiple pregnancies. Women who are not planning on future pregnancies may attain the improvement they want from tummy tuck surgery, returning to their pre-pregnancy appearance.
Many tummy tuck surgery patients also choose to undergo liposuction ("lipoplasty"). This is commonly performed along with tummy tuck surgery for optimal fat removal. By combining various body contouring procedures, you can achieve better body proportion, a more flattering figure, and a potentially greater sense of self-confidence. Abdominoplasty may allow you to wear certain fashions you were not comfortable in prior to surgery.
