About Abdominoplasty

A flat and well-toned abdomen is something many of us strive for through exercise and weight control. Sometimes these methods cannot achieve our goals. Even individuals of otherwise normal body weight and proportion can develop an abdomen that protrudes or is loose and sagging. The most common causes of this include:

• Pregnancy
• Aging
• Significant fluctuations in weight
• Prior surgery

Also known as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin, and in most cases restores weakened or separated muscles creating an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer.
A tummy tuck is not a substitute for weight loss or an appropriate exercise program.  This procedure cannot correct stretch marks, although these may be removed or somewhat improved if they are located on the areas of excess skin that will be excised, generally those treated areas below the belly button.

Dr. Tachmes has an extensive experience in abdominoplasty procedures.  He has developed a unique method of abdominoplasty surgery that produces a contoured, anatomically correct abdominal wall.  His technique involves targeted liposculpting of the abdominal skin flap and the areas surrounding the umbilicus.  His method of non-tension umbilicus reconstruction creates an aesthetically satisfying bellybutton with minimal evidence of previous surgical intervention.
