Dr. James Barber - Cosmetic Surgery Blog

Are you sick and tired of looking in the mirror and seeing that apron of loose skin and sagging tissue hanging off your midsection? Are you discouraged that no matter how much weight you lose and how diligent your exercise routine, the efforts don't seem to pay off like they should? The good news? Not only is that "excess baggage" not your fault, but you can actually do something about it. The tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a procedure that not only gets rid of the excess skin and tissue, but also actually tightens and firms the abdominal muscles. This translates into a slimmer, firmer midsection you'll be proud to look at - and to show off!

Mini or Full?
Tummy tucks comes in two versions: mini (sometimes called "partial") or full. Depending on what you want and what Dr. Barber recommends, one of these surgeries is sure to be the answer to your belly flab problem. You may also want to ask about the tummy tuck in conjunction with liposuction or as part of a lower body lift. Abdominoplasties take from one to five hours, on average, and can give you that tighter, leaner look you've been striving for.
