Pregnancy can wreak havoc on a woman’s body. With each month, the abdominal skin and its support structure are challenged, sometimes to their limits, producing permanent stretch marks, and leaving women with sagging skin after the baby is born. Many women complain that after childbirth, the abdomen and breasts they now must live with have permanently changed for the worse. Similarly, significant fluctuations in weight and heredity can produce a sagging and protruding stomach. A Tummy Tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that produces a flat and toned stomach, correcting sagging skin and subcutaneous fat that no measure of diet or exercise can resolve. A Tummy Tuck is one of Dr. Weintraub’s favorite procedures because – unlike on the face – a tummy can never be pulled too tight! The procedure itself involves a very low incision in the pubic region, low enough to be hidden under a bathing suit or underwear. His technique produces an internal corset that is strong and long-lasting, and will return the abdomen to its desired tightness. The waist will be reduced by approximately two to three inches or more, since suction-assisted lipectomy of the flanks is often performed simultaneously with a Tummy Tuck.
