Tummy Tuck or Scar Revision for C Section Scar?
Tummy Tuck or Scar Revision for C Section Scar?
Apr 7, 2020
The best way to conceal a vertical C-section scar is to completely or nearly completely remove it by removing the skin below the level of the belly button.  That depends entirely on the degree of laxity of the abdomen skin.  An evaluation by a plastic surgeon can help answer this question.  If a full tummy tuck is possible, then you will also benefit by the full muscle tightening that goes along with most full abdominoplasties.  I don't recommend muscle tightening ONLY below the belly but...
Exercise after tummy tuck surgery: how long should I wait to resume my workouts?
Exercise after tummy tuck surgery: how long should I wait to resume my workouts?
Apr 6, 2020
Returning to different levels of activities after tummy tuck surgery depends on the specific activity.  It's ok to start distance walking even 1-2 weeks after surgery.  Rigorous workouts take longer to return to.  For low impact cardio or light weight training I recommend waiting at least 6 weeks, and for full abdomen exercies or extreme stretching like with Yoga or Pilates I suggest waiting 3-6 months.  Everyone's recovery will be a little different.  Always stick with the advice of your...
What Can I Do to Get Rid of Swelling After Tummy Tuck Surgery?
What Can I Do to Get Rid of Swelling After Tummy Tuck Surgery?
Apr 6, 2020
Great question!  You are wearing a compression garment, which is necessary and a key component during the recovery from these kinds of surgeries.  These days I am also recommending external radio-frequency treatments called ThermiSmooth.  I have found these treatments to help in the recovery from the tightness, swelling, and numbness that occur after liposuction and abdominoplasty.  If these treatments are not available in your area consider lymphatic massages, which also help.  Best of luck!
Tummy Tuck Vs Laser Skin Tightening for Minimal Loose Skin After Pregnancy
Tummy Tuck Vs Laser Skin Tightening for Minimal Loose Skin After Pregnancy
Apr 6, 2020
Thank you for this great question!  If the skin is flat and not sagging you may be a good candidate for liposuction alone or combined with a radiofrequency skin tightening treatment.  If the skin is sagging below your c-section scar, then I would recommend an abdominoplasty.  Depending on the areas of skin laxity or muscle laxity you may be a candidate for a mini-abdominoplasty or a full abdominoplasty.  Best way to determine the best option is to consult with a board certifies plastic...
How Much Weight Can I Lose from Tummy Tuck Surgery?
How Much Weight Can I Lose from Tummy Tuck Surgery?
Apr 4, 2020
Great Question!  All body contouring surgeries are meant to create a new and improved body shapes, not as a means of weight management.  Weight management is best done slowly and, in certain cases, under a doctor's supervision.  Successful weight reduction and control are about making changes in one's lifestyle.  It is done through a long term program of diet and exercise, not by body contouring surgeries like an abdominopalsty.  Best of luckl!
Can you have a baby after a tummy tuck?
Can you have a baby after a tummy tuck?
Apr 4, 2020
The answer is "Yes".  A normal full term pregnancy is possible after a tummy tuck.  However, I always advise a woman who has not completed her family to postpone her tummy tucks until after she has her last child.  That way she can enjoy the improvements to her body and not worry that a future planned pregnancy will loosen the skin and muscles again.  Thanks for the question!
How Long Should You Wear Your Binder/Garment for After a Tummy Tuck?
How Long Should You Wear Your Binder/Garment for After a Tummy Tuck?
Apr 4, 2020
Thank you for the question.I recommend wearing compression garments for 6 weeks after an abdominoplasty.  These garments are designed to provide support and swelling reduction during the early period of healing.  Best of luck with your tummy tuck!
What is a tummy tuck recovery like?
What is a tummy tuck recovery like?
Apr 4, 2020
Thank you for the question!  There are stages in the recovery from a tummy tuck.  During the first week expect to walk slightly bent and to sleep in a "beach-chair" position with pillows under your knees and behind your back.  If you have drains, they usually are removed after 1-2 wks.  You likely will be wearing compression garments for the first six weeks to control swelling.  Most patients return to light activities and driving after 2-3 wks and are back at work after this time.  After...
Can I wear a bikini 1 year after tummy tuck?
Can I wear a bikini 1 year after tummy tuck?
Apr 4, 2020
Thank you for the question.  It certainly is possible to wear a bikini after a tummy tuck!  The best designed operations will keep the scar low just above the pubis and well hidden by a bikini.  Belly buttons can be made to look even better than before the tummy tuck by burying the circular incision inside the bully button.  Most of my patients are proud to show of their new bodies after liposuction and tummy tuck!  Select a board certified and experienced plastic surgeon, and you too can ...

How Long Does Tummy Tuck Surgery Swelling Last?
Apr 4, 2020
Thank you for your question!  Swelling after a tummy tack will take several weeks to several months to fully resolve.  The greatest reduction of swelling usually occurs over the first six weeks after surgery.  There is an ongoing swelling reduction over the next 6 months.  During that time the scars remodel and improve as well, both internally and externally.  At three weeks you are still in the early period of swelling reduction.  Stay patient.  You will continue to look better and better ...

Is a Tummy Tuck the Only Way to Alleviate Pain Caused by Skin Hanging over C-section Scar?
Apr 2, 2020
Thank you for your question.  Often a C-section will create a tight scar over which the loose abdomen skin can hang.  This creates skin-to-skin contact between the pubis and lower abdomen, which may result in chronic skin irritation, rashes, skin infections, odor, and even pain.  In this situation, the best long term solution is to remove the excess skin in the lower abdomen along with the c-section scar as would be performed during an abdominoplasty.  It is best to meet with a board cert...

You can calculate your BMI based on your height and current weight.  Set a goal for yourself so that the BMI is at a healthier level.  BMI above 25 is considered overweight and over 30 is considered obese.  BMIs in the obese or extreme obese range will put you at greater risk for post-operative complications.  It's best that you wait to do surgery until you reach a healthier BMI.  Best of luck!

I recommend that you weight to have surgery after you reach your goal weight of 150 pounds.  If you have surgery first and lose 35 pounds after surgery, the surgical results will change unpredictably and not always for the better.  Best of luck!

Liposuction of the back can certainly be combined with the procedures that you mentioned.  Typically, I perform the breast work first while the patient is on the operating table facing up.  Liposuction and fat grafting of the butttocks (if desired) is performed next with the patient repositioned on each side.  Finally, the patient is returned to the facing up position for the abdominoplasty, which I perform last.  All procedures can be performed together safely and with great results!  Best...
