Tummy Tuck ( Abdominoplasty)
Many people, both women and men, are bothered by loose skin and excess fat in the abdominal area. Multiple pregnancies or losing a great deal of weight can cause muscle weakness and hanging skin. Westchester County cosmetic surgeon Dr. Robert W. Bernard provides his tummy tuck patients with excellent results that have them looking and feeling incredible. A tummy tuck, also called an abdominoplasty, is a procedure to correct these problems and give you a smoother, flatter abdomen, so you no longer have to feel self-conscious in form-fitting clothes or at the beach.
Dr. Bernard and his staff in Westchester are highly skilled and experienced in performing abdominoplasty. He begins by evaluating you for tummy tuck surgery, noting where your excess fat and skin are located. In every case, he selects the specific technique that he believes will work best to achieve the results you want.
- Dr. Bernard works with you to determine the best placement of your tummy tuck incisions, making every effort to hide them within the lines of your favorite bathing suits and undergarments. For a standard abdominoplasty, a horizontal incision usually is made just above the pubic area. The incision length is determined by the amount of correction needed.
- Some patients visiting us in Westchester are good candidates for a mini- abdominoplasty which leaves a shorter scar. Dr. Bernard can evaluate you for this modified procedure at the time of your consultation. He will always select the least invasive procedure possible, but tell you very frankly if he feels a short-scar tummy tuck will not give you the results you are looking for.
- If you have stretch marks, these may be somewhat improved by becoming "flattened out," but the most noticeable improvement is in stretch marks that are on the lower part of your abdomen. In some cases, these may be partially or completely removed by surgery.
- A tummy tuck often includes liposuction to remove fat and muscle repair to tighten the abdominal wall.
- If you have loose skin above your belly button, Dr. Bernard may need to make an incision around the navel in order to give you a nice, smooth abdominal contour. This incision will be hardly noticeable over time, and your belly button will not change its position.
- Westchester County , New York cosmetic surgeon Dr. Robert W. Bernard has been practicing for more than 25 years and is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Many physicians claim to be tummy tuck experts. However, they all do not have the skill, training and depth of experience to back up this claim. When considering abdominoplasty surgery, your first consideration should be the qualifications of your doctor. During your tummy tuck consultation with Dr. Bernard, you will immediately recognize how he can rightfully call himself an expert in the field of all aspects of cosmetic surgery.
