Tummy Tuck
A
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
is an advanced surgical procedure which removes excess
skin and fat from the middle and lower abdominal
regions. It also assists in
tightening the abdominal wall muscles,
flattening the stomach region and the tuck will reduce
the appearance of stretch marks.
Below are images of a patient both before and after
Tummy Tuck surgery. This patient also received a Breast
Lift.
Reasons For
Choosing To Have A Tummy Tuck
  There are a number of reasons
for choosing to have a Tummy Tuck. These
include:
- To remove loose abdominal skin after losing weight.
- To improve your muscle and skin tone after pregnancy.
- To remove large fat deposits in the abdominal area.
- To improve skin elasticity if you are an older patient.
As well as the potential self conscious issues
associated with large abdominal fat deposits or loose
abdominal skin, there are also a number of health risks
associated with these conditions including back and
posture difficulties. History has also proven that these
areas often don’t respond well to diet and exercise.
Tummy Tuck -
Making The Best Choices For You.
To make the best choices for you and give you the
results you want to achieve, it is important to have the
right information and to be
guided through the process by an experienced Surgeon.
The most important decision to make regarding a Tummy
Tuck is whether Liposuction could be a suitable
alternative. Liposuction is a less invasive procedure
with minimal scarring. Liposuction is generally more
suitable to younger patients with good skin elasticity.
Dr Goldman will thoroughly go
through this important choice with you. As a
guideline here though, if large fat deposits are
involved and there is bulging of the abdominal muscles
or excess skin and fat hanging over the pubic region, it
is most likely you will require a Tummy Tuck. If the
excessive skin and fat is focused more directly below
the navel, then a small operation termed a “mini-tuck”
is potentially a better choice.
During a professional consultation with Dr Goldman, he
will guide you through each step and provide you with
extensive reading material to take home which will
assist you in the decision making process.
Your Consultation.
At the consultation with Dr Goldman, it will always be
helpful if you have an expectation of the result that
you are looking for. A Tummy Tuck is a major surgical
procedure so it is imperative that all options are
considered in detail before making a final decision. Dr
Goldman will review your body areas of concern and
recommend the procedure that will work best for you.
Support
During the complete process, from your initial
consultation, right through to aftercare, Dr Goldman and
his staff are committed to ensuring you achieve the best
results from your cosmetic surgery by offering you the
