Mommy Makeover with Full Tummy Tuck and 360 Lipo BBL
Tummy Tuck procedures come in many different shapes and sizes to treat a wide range of problems from loose skin,  to loose muscles, to stretch marks & unwanted scars. Tummy tucks can be combined with liposculpture, fat injections and Brazilian Buttocks Augmentation.

The Body Lift
Picture
Full Tummy Tuck with Body Lift after Massive Weight Loss
​The Body Lift is an extension of the tummy tuck concept around the entire front, back and sides. Body lifts are usually recommended following massive weight loss when there is a great deal of excess of loose skin and subcutaneous tissue which will not go away. These procedures are usually done in stages to make them safer.
The Mini Tummy Tuck

Mini Tummy Tuck with High Def Lipo of Abdomen and Flanks
​Mini Tummy Tucks are designed for those with looseness below the belly button only. These procedures combine full tummy Lipo with a nip and tuck of excess Bikini Zone skin to give tightness and an ultra low-riding scar. The umbilicus and the abdominal muscles are not involved in this procedure.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW: Mini tummy tucks don't tighten the abdominal muscles and they don't repair the umbilicus. These operations are usually done for people who don't have a separation between the muscles and who don't have looseness in the upper abdomen.
Lipo Tummy Tucks
Picture

​Lipo Tummy Tucks are tummy tucks that combine liposuction along with the nip and tuck. Almost all of our tummy tucks are lipo tummy tucks (aka lipo-abdominoplasty). They give better shape and contours than traditional old-style tummy tucks. They are also safer and have a much faster and more comfortable recovery and we are experts in this awesome combo.

We Will Give You Super Strong Muscles
​

Muscle Tightening
Picture

Muscle Tightening is essential for mommies. Childbearing blasts a gap down the center of the abdominal six-pack muscles leaving you with a rounded potbelly which won't respond to diet or exercise. ALL of our Mommy Makeover Full Tummy Tucks include muscle tightening.
Picture
This is a typical diastasis just before the repair
Diastasis Rectii. A diastasis is a large elliptical gap between the abdominal muscles (the rectus muscles) that develops as a result of pregnancy. Closing this gap reduces the potbelly and restores flatness better than any other surgical or nonsurgical option.
Picture
This is the second layer of the diastasis repair
Muscle tightening is done in two or more layers to provide a strong permanent correction of the diastasis. You can have more children after this type of surgery, but it's not usually recommended.


We Will Give You A NEW BELLY BUTTON THAT LOOKs REAL
​

The Scarless Belly Button
Picture
The new belly button is made completely from the inside
The Scarless Umbilcoplasty is our favorite technique for making a new belly button and you've seen it on all of the before and afters on this page. Patients and other surgeons tell us it's the prettiest and most realistic umbilicus they have ever seen. 
Picture
The new belly button has no scars on the skin
All of the work is done on the inside. There is no cutting of the skin or visible scars. This means no ugly scars or fake looking belly button shape or discolored skin. It's also a finished product immediately after surgery. No other technique does this.​
Our Alternative Belly Button
Picture
The open technique stitches the skin down to the muscles through a tiny window
​Open Neo-Umbilicoplasty is a technique that we use in special situations when the scarless technique can't be used. We will let you know if you need this type of belly button at your consultation. It gives excellent results too, but unlike the scarless technique it takes about 8 weeks to heal.

The 3-month result of the open technique looks like the real thing!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
​

How long does a tummy tuck take?
This depends on the amount of liposuction being done beforehand and the size of the tummy tuck.
The liposuction done beforehand can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours. The tummy tuck itself, the nipping and tucking, usually takes 2 to 3 hours.
​
What kind of anesthesia is used for a tummy tuck?
You will be asleep for your tummy tuck if you are having a full tummy tuck. Our board certified anesthesiologists will give you intravenous sedation anesthesia if you are being done in the office surgical suite. In the hospital, general anesthesia with intubation and paralysis are used.
If you are having a mini tummy tuck, local anesthesia is sometimes an option if you want it and if the surgeon agrees that it would be sufficient.
The liposuction done beforehand is usually done under local unless you want to use the services of our anesthesiologists for that portion too.
​
How will I feel after my tummy tuck?
Most people are sore and stiff in the first few days and rapidly feel better. The soreness is not severe and is usually alleviate with muscle relaxants and medium strength painkillers that are not narcotics, not opioids, and not addictive.
​
How long will I be out of work afterwards?
Recovery times vary from person to person. Typically, most people can return to a desk job in 2 weeks and to a more active job in 3 weeks.
​
How long does complete healing take?
Most people are completely healed by 6 months. Some heal faster and others take a little bit longer.


TECHNIQUES WE DON'T USE
​

Picture


​Umbilical Transposition
Umbilical transposition is the traditional option for managing the navel during tummy tuck surgery. We don't use it. It never looks natural and always leaves a visible scar. Believe it or not, many surgeons still use this technique because they are unaware of better methods.
