How Do Surgeons Address The Upper Pubic Area With A Tummy Tuck I see alot of pictures online were women have tummy tucks after weight loss but they are left with all the fat/lose skin that bulges above and around the vagina, making it look alot like part of a mans privates. To change that, Is there a different surgery? or is it something that is supposed to be included in the TT? Thanks.

A: Mons Pubis reduction can be very uplifting

Our current technique of tummy tucks will include the mons reduction routinely. The enhancement of contours here involves a low incision with upward traction that raises the ptotic (drooping) mons pubis and anterior labia majora. Be sure to ask about before and after pictures from your surgeon. More than just a visual change, I have had patients comment favorably on improved intimate satisfaction with the anterior position of the clitoral structures with this technique.

Should I Avoid Getting a Tan on my Belly Before my Tummy Tuck? I will be traveling to Cuba 6 weeks before my TT. I will wear a 2 piece bathing suit and I tan quite easily. Will this cause a problem with my skin on my tanned abdomen when it is pulled down? Thanks, Foliebergere

A: Tan lines help incision placement before surgery

A nice tan is actually helpful coming into surgery like a tummy tuck or liposuction. This can help me place your incisions strategically to hide them under your bathing suit. As mentioned in other posts, do beware of sunburn and the possibility of darker scars if tanning just before or for several months after your surgery.

Why Does Someone Have to Walk Bent over After a Full Tummy Tuck? Does It Happen to Everyone?

A: Stand up straight after Tummy Tuck

Many of my patients will find it difficult to stand up straight after a tummy tuck due to tight muscle repair and skin resection. However, everyone can walk erect after the first week or two and will usually be able to get back to the beach, gym, or strenuous activities by the third week and beyond.

	“FTT W/ Abdominal Repair from Three...” I was very nervous to get this done and he made me calm. Surgery was three hours but due to me moving during the procedure it took an additional four hours to make the necessary corrections from the ripped sutures. Aside from that it was an EXCELLENT experince. more
	“Fluid Build-up Above Belly Button...” I decided to have a tummy tuck after having three children. Now I'm regretting that decision. I had a tuck, lipo of my inner thighs and a fat transfer.At first things were fine but eight days post-op i had massive swelling in my legs and ended up in the hospital for a PE. The fat transfer was unsuccessful. So all I had to be glad about was the tuck until fluid began to build-up. I am now 4... more

	“Tummy Tuck...Terrific” The amount was for tummy tuck and lipo in arms. It was great and a big difference. My belly button looks a little off centered and my back hurts but my stomach is so pretty now... and flat. I still have my stiches in since the TT was only exactly 2 weeks tomorrow. I'll post after 6 weeks but I have no bruising at all. more
