Sometimes, even if you’re doing everything right, you just can’t lose that stubborn fat. In these situations, we recommend a tummy tuck procedure, whether you’re in Philadelphia or any of the surrounding areas, to help remove stretch marks and loose skin. We wish for you to be comfortable during your procedure and to experience results that are proportional to your body type. As experienced plastic and cosmetic surgeons, we plan to give you confidence in your appearance through a variety of procedures, such as liposuction in Philadelphia. We are often asked many questions from our patients considering tummy tucks or breast augmentation in Philadelphia, and we make sure to answer all of your questions to help you feel comfortable in your choice.
A: Abdominoplasty is typically performed on women and men between the ages of 25 and 60. A general history and physical is done during the initial complimentary consultation, which easily and quickly determines the underlying health of our patients. Most patients in this age bracket are healthy, excellent candidates.

A: Strenuous activity that specifically involves your abdominal and back muscles should be avoided for the first four to six weeks after surgery. Instead, leg and upper body exercises are a good way to continue strengthening without straining your abdominals.
A: Most women describe something closer to muscle spasms than real pain, due to the muscles tightening along the waistline. According to multiple clinical studies, our use of pain catheters greatly reduces the complaint of postoperative pain, controlling the majority of the pain during the first three days following the procedure when the pain would otherwise be the most severe. During your pre-operative visit, your doctor will prescribe appropriate pain medicine and muscle relaxant.
A: The incision created to remove the lower abdominal fat and skin is located slightly lower than a Caesarian Section. This allows for the scar to be concealed by low cut pants and, in some cases, even bikini bottoms. Every patient develops scars, with no two being alike. Consequently, can we cannot predict precisely how you will heal. However, we can assure you that our surgical techniques will give you the best cosmetic result possible.
A: The decision to go ahead with a tummy tuck procedure should include the choice to not become pregnant. Although the procedure allows for later pregnancy, it is strongly discouraged. A pregnancy will likely require another tummy tuck procedure to regain the cosmetic result obtained originally. You are about to make a critical decision in your life, and we wish for you to have the best experience!
