Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Are you a good candidate for Tummy Tuck?

The most significant determinant of a good candidate for abdominoplasty is the amount of loose skin that is below the belly button. Often, this loose skin is caused by significant weight loss or by pregnancy. In both cases, the abdominal skin has been stretched beyond its ability to shrink. If you can easily grab and pinch a large amount of loose skin, it is likely that an abdominoplasty would provide a highly noticeable improvement for you. If, on the other hand, the skin feels very thick and is not particularly loose, it is likely that an abdominoplasty is not for you. In fact, liposuction may be more appropriate. A visual evaluation is necessary to decide which procedure is right for the individual. Often, Dr. Cruise will decide to combine liposuction with abdominoplasty, allowing him an element of artistic sculpting.
