There is no one best procedure. There are avariety of surgical procedures or combinations that can produce good results in patients with abdominal laxity, depending on multiple factorsincluding their anatomy and degree of desired improvement: A mini tummy tuck,an umbilical float modified tummy tuck, a full abdominoplasty. Each of thesecan be performed with or without liposuction and with or without abdominal muscle repair. They produce different degrees of improvement. No matter which procedure that you decide to undergo, itis advisable that you should wait until you are finished having children. Following the advice of anyone who would presume to tellyou what to do without seeing photos and without taking a full medicalhistory, examining you, feeling and assessing your tissue tone, discussing yourdesired outcome and fully informing you about the pros and cons of each optionwould not be in your best interest. Find a plastic surgeon that you arecomfortable with and one that you trust and listen to his or her advice. Thesurgeon should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you can locate through the Smart Beauty Guide. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, California
The best abdominoplasty, is the way your particular surgeon does it. Meaning, choose a good surgeon, with experience, good results, good referrals, and board certification, and the way he is experienced in performing the procedure is the best one for him to perform on you.
