Miami Tummy Tuck
Oftentimes, those who experience massive weight changes, pregnancy, and/or aging are left with stretched-out abdominal muscles and sagging skin in the midsection. A common procedure to improve these undesirable features is tummy tuck surgery. In Miami, tummy tuck specialist Ary Krau, M.D., F.A.C.S. performs this body contouring procedure to help men and women alike achieve a better-toned shape.
Tummy Tuck Information
Technically termed "abdominoplasty," the tummy tuck procedure is designed to remove loose, excess skin in the stomach area and tighten abdominal muscles. When elasticity of the skin is lost, it can become difficult for diet and exercise alone to slim and contour the midsection. Should this be the case for an individual, Dr. Krau may recommend tummy tuck surgery to help meet his or her goals; however, it is important to note that this procedure is not a means of weight loss.
Based on each patient's anatomy, Dr. Krau can perform a mini-abdominoplasty, modified tummy tuck, or extended abdominoplasty. The mini-tummy tuck technique is ideal for those who only need to target the lower abdominal wall skin, which requires only a short incision across the lower stomach. A standard tummy tuck entails an incision from hipbone to hipbone, in which excess skin will then be removed and the abdominal muscles are tightened. Miami, Bal Harbour, and Aventura tummy tuck patients who experience large amounts of sagging around the midsection and lower back may be better-suited for the extended method.
If you would like achieve a more shapely appearance, Dr. Krau may combine liposuction surgery ("lipoplasty") to help remove stubborn pockets of fat. The most commonly targeted areas include the stomach, hips, lower back, and thighs. In addition, women who experience sagging in the breasts may further inquire about breast lift surgery ("mastopexy").
