Tummy Tuck New York City

Tummy tuck patients in New York City have noticed their lower stomachs might be pouching out more than they would like, advises Alesia P. Saboeiro, M.D. a leading, board-certified New York City plastic surgery specialist.

Protruding stomachs can be due to losing tremendous amounts of weight, or because child birth has stretched the stomach muscles. And it seems like diet and exercise won't change that paunch which slows you down, makes clothing hard to buy and makes you look older than you feel.

One of the few, female board-certified plastic surgeons in the City, Dr. Saboeiro says a tummy tuck might be the ticket for flattening and firming that tubby area and creating a smaller waist in the process.

What is a Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck in Manhattan or New York City can involve a full or partial tummy tuck. The procedure, known to surgeons as an Abdominoplasty, trims excess skin and fat while surgically repairing the stretched stomach muscles. A mini-tummy tuck is less invasive, usually done under a local anesthetic and indicated when most of the patient's corpulent flesh is found below the belly button.

But you may not want a tummy tuck if you are:

• Pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant
• Overweight
• Not in good physical condition

Sometimes, Dr. Saboeiro may also recommend liposuction at the same time. Often done on the flanks and the thighs, liposuction adds pleasing contours to your mid-body. Some New York City tummy tucks are done in hospitals but many are done in an office surgical suite although full tummy tucks and liposuction often require overnight hospitalization.

While you may be home for several weeks after the operation, you may be asked to do some light exercise like walking to reduce swelling and enhance skin tone. Vigorous exercise is usually put off for about four to six weeks. But in the end, you'll find Dr. Saboeiro has turned back the clock to reveal a new you.

Dr. Saboeiro also offers other procedures such as fat grafting in New York City, facelifts and even breast augmentation in Manhattan and New York to help enhance your new figure after your tummy tuck.
