Manhattan Tummy Tuck

Manhattan tummy tuck expert Alesia P. Saboeiro, M.D., a board-certified plastic surgeon, says the tummy tuck is one of the most requested plastic surgeries in Manhattan. It's often performed because child birth has stretched the stomach muscles apart, letting the abdomen bulge. Sometimes the condition is inherited and shows more as we approach 40. In yet other cases, the patient has lost a tremendous amount of weight and is left with too much of flaccid skin.

What is a Tummy Tuck

Known to surgeons as an Abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck procedure flattens the lower stomach by surgically removing excess skin and fat as it tightens loose muscles. While the operation may last only two to five hours, (or one to two for a partial tummy tuck,) it may require two to four weeks before you can go back to work. Normal activities can be resumed in about four to six weeks, depending on your physical condition. But you'll have the figure you've always wanted!

How do potential Manhattan and New York City tummy tuck patients know if they should consider the procedure? Dr. Saboeiro says patents who think about having the procedure usually notice about themselves:

• Sagging abdominal skin
• A protruding lower stomach out of proportion to the rest of the body
• Weak abdominal muscles
• Too much fat concentrated in the abdomen

The tummy tuck requires a long, hip-to-hip incision which the surgeon hides within the bikini line so it does not show in a bathing suit or in underwear. Depending on your case, the procedure can be done under a local anesthetic with I.V. sedation or under a general.
Afterwards, you'll have a firm and flatter stomach. Your clothes will fit better and your self-confidence and pride will zoom as you enjoy wearing the latest fashions again.
