TUMMY TUCK SURGERY IN MIAMI, FL

Schedule A Consultation

Aging, pregnancy, and weight gain are all factors that can contribute to excess
fat in your midsection. As time progresses, it becomes increasingly impossible
to improve sagging skin and excess fat in this area without surgery. A tummy
tuck, also called an abdominoplasty, is the ideal cosmetic procedure to tighten
your abdominal muscles, remove sagging skin and fat, and provide the firm and
slender silhouette you desire. Depending on the extent of your procedure, a
tummy tuck surgery with Dr. Hochstein in Miami can correct the following:

 * Excess abdominal fat
 * Sagging skin in the midsection
 * Separated and weak abdominal muscles
 * Stretch marks on the lower abdomen

WHAT DO YOU DESIRE?

A mini tummy tuck or a full tummy tuck can achieve excellent results depending
on the degree of correction you desire. A full tummy tuck reduces abdominal fat,
tightens the skin and muscles, and removes stretch marks if they are present on
the skin. A mini tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from your lower abdomen
only; it does not tighten the abdominal muscles.

REDUCED ABDOMINAL FAT

A tummy tuck procedure usually incorporates some form of liposuction to remove
excess fat. Subcutaneous fat, which is the fat closest to the skin, is removed
to reveal a slender, toned physique.

TIGHTER SKIN

If you have any degree of sagging abdominal skin from weight fluctuations or
pregnancy, a tummy tuck removes it. Dr. Hochstein removes any excess skin and
redrapes the remaining skin over the muscles to create a smoother contour.

FIRMER MUSCLES

During your procedure, Dr. Hochstein repairs abdominal separation or muscle
weakening caused by pregnancy or weight fluctuations. He also tightens your
upper and lower abdominal muscles to create a firm foundation for your tighter
skin.

FEWER STRETCH MARKS

Stretch marks are removed during this procedure if they fall on the excess skin
that Dr. Hochstein removes. For any residual stretch marks, Dr. Hochstein can
recommend a skin treatment that can improve their appearance.

ADDRESSING YOUR CONCERNS


RECOVERY

Most patients need to take about two weeks off from work and routine activities.
Remaining bent over in a 45-degree angle after your surgery is crucial to your
recuperation. Ensure that you walk and sit in this 45-degree angle for at least
7 to 10 days to reduce the risk of complications, such as necrosis of the
incisions. You should also sleep with your torso elevated at a 45-degree angle
with your legs propped up. Avoid exercise and heavy lifting for six to eight
weeks, and closely follow your post-operative instructions to achieve the best
results.




COST

Your tummy tuck procedure will be tailored to your unique needs. Whether you
choose to have a mini tummy tuck, a full tummy tuck, or a combination of
techniques, Dr. Hochstein determines the cost for your procedure during your
initial consultation.


PAIN

You will likely feel sore following your surgery. Dr. Hochstein provides a pain
pump to help numb the tender area. He can also prescribe oral pain medication to
help keep you comfortable as you heal. A compression garment is used to help
decrease pain and swelling while you recover.


SCARS

As with any surgical procedure, there will be scars associated with your tummy
tuck. The scar will span the lower pelvis from one hip bone to the other or may
be shorter if you opt for a mini tummy tuck. Most styles of bathing suits and
underwear can camouflage your scars, which should also fade significantly with
time.


POST-SURGICAL MASSAGES

Lymphatic drainage is a therapeutic massage designed specifically to relieve
pain and reduce inflammation. Any person who submits themselves to a cosmetic
surgical procedure will experience inflammation as a side effect of the work
performed in that area. A lymphatic drainage massage is required after
liposculpture or a tummy tuck. The primary purpose of these massages is to
eliminate liquid that tends to accumulate and harden into fibrosis. Fibrosis is
the name given to those little balls and lumps that you feel forming under your
skin about one to two weeks after a surgical procedure. These massages also
allow for better circulation of the blood, help reduce edema, and assist in
softening the texture of the skin to ensure a better healing process. Lymphatic
drainage massages should only be performed by licensed and experienced massage
therapists.

TUMMY TUCK FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


AM I A CANDIDATE FOR A TUMMY TUCK?

The best candidates for this procedure are in good health, do not smoke, and
have realistic expectations of the process. They have typically maintained their
current weight for at least three months.


HOW MUCH WEIGHT WILL I LOSE WITH A TUMMY TUCK?

Your weight will likely be reduced after surgery, but this is not the goal of
the procedure. A tummy tuck is meant to improve the shape of the midsection and
the tightness of the abdominal skin.


DO I NEED LIPOSUCTION ALONG WITH MY TUMMY TUCK?

Dr. Hochstein often combines liposuction with a tummy tuck, but not all patients
will need it. If your main concern is excess skin, a tummy tuck alone can remove
it. However, many women decide to combine a tummy tuck with other procedures,
such as breast augmentation or a Mommy Makeover, for overall body rejuvenation.


WHAT IF I HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FAT OR EXCESS SKIN?

Dr. Hochstein can perform an extended tummy tuck on patients who have a
significant amount of skin to be removed. These patients have typically lost a
large amount of weight either through diet and exercise or gastric bypass
surgery and have loose, sagging skin. The procedure is similar to a traditional
tummy tuck but will involve a longer incision, sometimes completely around the
torso, which will also improve the appearance of the back. Dr. Hochstein can
also remove “love handles” and other fatty areas around the core to reveal a
more slender midsection.


SHOULD I BE FINISHED HAVING CHILDREN BEFORE CONSIDERING A TUMMY TUCK?

Yes. Since pregnancy will undo the results of a tummy tuck, it is recommended
that women be finished having children before considering surgery.


WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT FROM A TUMMY TUCK?

Tummy tuck results are permanent unless you subsequently gain a significant
amount of weight or become pregnant. Patients who are at or near their ideal
weight will experience the best results from this procedure, which include a
flatter abdomen, more feminine contours for women, smoother skin, and increased
confidence.
