Tummy Tuck Combinations

Posted on by

One thing you may not realize about cosmetic surgery is that combination surgeries have become the most efficient type in terms of cost, as well as in terms of time. Having several procedures performed at the same time can almost guarantee the results you desire, and can save you a lot of hassle with several operations and several recovery periods thereafter.

When you first meet your certified plastic surgeon for a consultation be sure in inquire about combination packages. For instance, your tummy tuck cost could drastically be reduced if paired-up with another procedure—one that you may decide to pursue after your abdominoplasty is fully healed.

Lets take a look at some other surgeries you can have performed when you go in for your tummy tuck.

Combining your Abdominoplasty with other procedures

For starters, a tummy tuck procedure, as you may know, is one of the most invasive procedures in plastic surgery. It involves the use of incisions along your hip for removal of excess fat and correction of loose skin. But what happens if after your procedure you find dissatisfaction with some other areas surrounding your abdomen?

  • Liposuction As you know, everyone has that small build-up of fatty pockets in awkward spots on their body. Laser-assisted liposuction is a perfect solution to smooth those pockets out. For instance, if after your tummy tuck you feel like you could still lose a few inches around the thighs, then liposuction could take care of that with a minimal recovery period afterwards.
  • Breast Enhancement Often times, women who decide to undergo a full abdominoplasty may also decide that a breast lift is needed for the best results. Women with post pregnancy bodies sometimes suffer from overly large breasts as well, and might seek a breast reduction to balance their bodies after their abdominoplasty.
  • Butt Enhancement Just as in a breast enhancement, some women opt to combine their surgery with a butt enhancing procedure such as butt augmentation to help bring balance to their body. A butt augmentation with butt implants is becoming one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures available, and is very common amongst women who have had breast augmentation using saline or silicone implants.

The practice of plastic surgery offers many solutions for the body you desire. Speak with a certified surgeon and be sure to be specific with all your end result desires.

 

What Kind of Tummy Tuck is Right For Me?

What kind of tummy tuck is right for you? That’s a good conversation to have in your first consultation with a plastic surgeon who is both experienced and certified enough to give you an opinion which will meet your desired goals in terms of end results.

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty—as it is referred to in cosmetic surgery circles—is an expensive and quite invasive procedure. In fact, when it comes to plastic surgery, this particular process is one that requires great intensive attention. Make no mistake about it you should be well prepared in advance for your surgery and the recovery period afterwards.

What is a tummy tuck? Good question. Basically, an abdominoplasty procedure will repair abdominal muscles by removing excess fat, tissue and skin with the use of carefully placed incisions around your navel. The goal and end result is a flat, firm and more proportional midsection.

The extent of the procedure depends solely on the amount of fat that needs to be removed. There are two kinds of tummy tucks that you can choose from:

  • Complete abdominoplasty also called a “full tummy tuck”, this procedure guarantees a hospital stay of at least a couple of nights. Expect your recovery period to be fairly lengthy. This procedure involves incisions right above and across the pubic region from left to right. In addition, a second incision could be necessary—this time at the navel.
  • Partial abdominoplasty is also referred to as a “mini tummy tuck”. In this case most patients are able to leave the clinic after a few hours due to the fact that only one, much shorter incision is needed.

Despite which abdominoplasty procedure you opt to undergo, you should know that tummy tucks have become a quite successful solution for women who wish to regain elasticity in the skin around the waistline.

Once again, your recovery process is detrimental to the extent of surgery, as well as your adaptability to postoperative limitations. Discuss all aspects of a tummy tuck with your plastic surgeon before committing to the procedure.

The Cost of a Slimmer Midsection

If you are considering undergoing a tummy tuck, then one of the essential aspects of this

particular plastic surgery procedure you will need to consider is the cost.

Can you afford it? Well here’s the thing: in the early days of your tummy tuck adventure you and your surgeon will have a face-to-face consultation. It is vital that the two of you discuss all issues involved with surgery and all factors involved with the cost.

So what’s the answer? How much does a tummy tuck cost? Well, it’s not that simple. Here are five key things to keep in mind that determine your final tally:

  • Do you plan on undergoing a full tummy tuck or a mini tummy tuck?
  • Your surgeon will charge you a basic surgeon’s fee. The amount of this figure will depend on their skill level, reputation and experience. Are you prepared to take the operational risks that may be involved with a less-experienced and less-expensive practitioner?
  • Where is your surgeon’s location? Does the clinic look like it has high overhead costs? These charges will be distributed amongst all clients and their surgeries.
  • Are you going under solely for a tummy tuck, or is your surgery part of any other plastic surgery procedure such as a breast lift?
  • The amount of excess fat removed adds up to the cost.

Here’s the deal; also known as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck is not meant to replace proper diet and nutrition or be an alternative for the required amount of exercise needed for you. During the procedure excess fat is removed through incisions to help retain a more balanced body shape.

1,000 Beverly Hills Tummy Tucks — Without a Single Re-do











Century City, California. (PRWEB) May 14, 2008

Ivan Thomas, M.D. today announced that his office is marking the 1,000th patient to receive his special Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck.

Technically known as a modified high lateral tension abdominoplasty, the procedure produces a waist line that is more trim, firm and athletic than a standard tummy tuck. The difference lies in painstaking internal cross-stitching of the stomach muscles, a procedure Dr. Thomas has performed for almost three decades.

After childbirth or a large weight gain, two long vertical stomach muscles running from the chest to the pubic area often part. Because those muscles — known as the rectus abdominis — become so stretched, they allow the contents of the abdomen to sag forward into a pot belly. Often, there is also substantial extra skin hanging over the beltline. But sadly, even the most strenuous exercises cannot return the stomach nor its muscles back to its normal shape.

Besides being unattractive, a sagging stomach has some health risks.

Liposuction and Tummy Tuck

Excess folds of heavy skin can create moisture-related skin irritation. Plus, the heavy load of a pot belly can create back problems for patients. Psychologically, many women feel less feminine with a fatty stomach and the heavy skin folds that ruin the line of current fashions. Moreover, many women say clothes are hard to find.

“A tummy tuck does not treat obesity,” says Dr. Thomas. “I frequently send patients back home for six months to lose weight and later perform a tummy tuck.”

Dr. Thomas also finds he gets better results when he performs liposuction on patients a few months later. The added waiting period allows the tummy tuck wounds to heal and swelling to subside, making the final result far superior. Additionally, the waiting period makes the operation safer and the lipo-sculpting much more even.

Tummy Tuck Surgery

To perform the Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck, Dr. Thomas opens the abdomen, holds the skin and tissues back, and stitches the two vertical strips of muscles back together. But he doesn’t stop there: he also stitches the muscles across the beltline, pulling the patient’s sides in tighter. The procedure shrinks the waist in the front-to-back dimension and the side-to-side aspect.

“It’s like wearing a tight girdle under your skin, which squeezes the abdomen in all directions,” says Dr. Thomas.

Patient Gail L. of Antelope Valley, California, (who asked to remain unidentified) found that after her Beverly Hills tummy tuck she had a narrower, more sculpted waist.

“For the first time in my life, I had a flat stomach,” she says. “I also started receiving compliments and admiring glances from guys for the first time in many years.”

Encouraged, Gail improved her diet, went to a gym regularly and lost another 40 pounds along the way, toning her stomach even more. Because she now looks much more slim and trim, Gail enjoys increased self-confidence, which carries over into her working life. The president of a non-profit firm, Gail leads a staff of 142 people.

Tummy Tuck Photos

After her procedure, new confidence allowed her to do more things, like venturing into the spotlight to perform the Master of Ceremony duties at her company’s annual Christmas party. However, before her procedure, she stayed on the sidelines and brought in professional entertainers to host the event.

The Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck requires a hip-to-hip incision across the lower abdomen. However, Dr. Thomas places it within the bikini line so that underwear and most bathing suits conceal the scar. View tummy tuck before and after pictures.)

Average Cost of Tummy Tuck

Tummy tuck prices currently range from $ 8,000 for a mini-tummy tuck to about $ 15,800 for a full Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck. Request a consultation with Dr. Thomas.

The office of Dr. Ivan Thomas can accommodate speakers of Spanish, Farsi, Korean, Armenian, and English. (Contact Dr. Thomas and get directions.)
