Considering a Tummy Tuck

If You Are Considering Abdominoplasty

For close to thirty years, I have been hoping to find someone who could restore my stomach to some semblance of how it looked before I had children. I never could find someone whose results were good enough for me to want to have a tummy tuck until I met Dr. Salman.

He was the only one to offer me the possibility of a scar so fine and undisruptive of the surrounding skin that I wouldn't mind its extra length, a scar well-placed enough to be covered by almost any bikini. And he was the only one to give me hope for an attractive, completely normal-looking belly button.

Dr. Salman is the most conscientious surgeon I have ever encountered … the most hands on, and the most dedicated to the welfare of his patients. But most importantly, he gives extraordinary tummy tucks. He accomplished everything he told me he could and basically erased thirty years on my Tummy along with the effects of four C-sections and one appendectomy.

I am thrilled with my new look! S.H. Dublin – Full abdominoplasty.

Abdominoplasty, known more commonly as a "tummy tuck," is a major surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. But bear in mind, it does produce a permanent scar, which, depending on the extent of the original problem and the surgery required to correct it, can extend from hip to hip.

If you're considering tummy tuck, this will give you a basic understanding of the procedure-when it can help, how it's performed, and what results you can expect. It can't answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on the individual patient and the surgeon. Please ask your surgeon about anything you don't understand.
