Tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, is designed to firm and smooth the abdomen, remove excess abdominal skin, reduce fat, and tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. Unless there is significant weight gain or the patient becomes pregnant, the abdomen should remain firmer and flatter for many years after surgery. In 2007, abdominoplasty or tummy tuck was the fourth most popular plastic surgery procedure for women in New York City.

Tummy tuck techniques may vary greatly depending on the surgeon. Most often, a horizontal incision is placed at the lowermost point of the abdomen. If the patient has loose skin surrounding the belly button, an incision around the navel may be necessary to tighten that skin. Sutures may be used to tighten the underlying abdominal muscles as well.

Be are honest with your plastic surgeon about your medical history and your goals for the surgery, and choose a surgeon who is experienced and qualified to perform tummy tuck in New York City. No surgery is without some level of risk, and your surgeon should explain all of the side effects and possible risks prior to surgery.

Tips for finding the right New York City tummy tuck surgeon

1. Ask your New York City tummy tuck surgeon, what is your board certification and which professional societies do you belong to?
2. Is the facility where my surgery will take place an accredited facility?
3. What exactly can I expect during and after tummy tuck surgery?
4. Are there any alternatives to tummy tuck that I should be aware of?
5. May I see before and after photos of other New York City patients who have already had tummy tuck?
