Q-1��� What is a tummy tuck procedure?
A-����� A tummy tuck is the most effective way to tighten your stomach area. It also gets rid of loose or wrinkled skin. Stretch marks between the belly button and pubic hair are eliminated. Fat tissue in the lower abdomen is removed. The abdominal wall muscles are tightened so that even when sitting down or bending over the abdomen doesn't stick out. Say goodbye to holding in your belly.
�
Q-2��� What are the different types of tummy tuck procedures?
A-����� There are different types of tummy tuck procedures for different patient needs. All types of abdominoplasty involve the removal of excess skin and the tightening of abdominal muscles, except for the endoscopic abdominoplasty. The endoscopic tummy tuck only involves the tightening of abdominal muscles and the removal of small amounts of fat. No skin is removed. The traditional tummy tuck procedure addresses imperfections in the entire abdominal area both above and below the navel. When a mini tummy tuck is performed, the surgeon only works on improving the area below the navel. An extended tummy tuck can also improve the appearance of love handles on either side of the hips, in addition to the abdominal area. A circumferential abdominoplasty is usually performed when a massive amount of weight loss has taken place, leaving an apron of loose skin around the entire body. This procedure may also be referred to as a lower body lift.
�
Q-3��� What is the difference between Mini-Tuck and a Classical, or Full Tuck?
A-����� In a mini-tuck, an incision is made along the upper margin of the pubic hair. A small strip of skin is removed including the hypodermis. The muscle tightening is not included in this operation. The navel is left in its original position. The Mini-Tuck is the ideal intervention for tightening flabby skin on patients without any serious weight- or fat problem but with wrinkled, folded skin (extra tissue, or: pannus) within the abdominal area.
�
Q-4��� Is the abdominoplasty procedure the same as Tummy Tuck?
A-����� Yes, They are basically synonymous. Abdominoplasty, commonly referred to as a Tummy Tuck, is a popular cosmetic surgery procedure used to tighten overly stretched abdominal muscles and skin in an effort to achieve a smoother, flatter appearance. Whether stretched by factors such as weight gain, weight loss, pregnancy, etc., the abdomen frequently fails to return to its original shape. . Stretched beyond the capacity to return to normal, abdominal tissues don't always respond to various exercise and diet programs. In such cases, a tummy tuck may provide a highly effective, immediate solution in the treatment of stubborn abdominal areas. In short, a tummy tuck may dramatically tighten the abdominal muscles as well as remove sagging, excess skin and accumulated fatty tissue.� Consult us at Cosmetic Harmony.
�
Q-5��� Does an Abdominoplasty leave obvious scars?
A-����� With a full tummy tuck, the horizontal incision is placed along the upper end of the pubic hair and extended toward the love handles or hips. It is important to discuss with the surgeon the design of the preferred underwear in order to make a strategically positioned incision. In most cases it is possible to put the incision in a position which will be covered by the patient's preferred underwear or swimsuit.
�
Q-6��� What happens with the navel?
A-����� With the mini-tuck the navel is left in its original position. With a full tuck, which also includes the tightening of the underlying muscle tissue, the navel is removed and repositioned at the end of the surgery.
�
Q-7��� Will the navel be lifted, too?
A-����� A younger naval tends to be round, but with maturity the naval tends to flatten horizontally. A tummy tuck does not necessarily make the naval round again, but thanks to the tightened skin after a tuck, it is generally rounder and younger looking than before the surgery.
�
Q-8��� Is the Plastic Surgery on the Abdomen always done under general anesthesia?
A-����� A full tuck, which may include the tightening of the underlying muscles, requires general anesthesia with sometimes an over night stay at the clinic.
�
Q-9��� What is the difference between a full and a mini-abdominoplasty?
A-����� A full abdominoplasty is one where there is a hip to hip incision and a larger portion of skin is removed. A mini-abdominoplasty is performed through your c-section scar and only a little or no skin is removed but the abdominal wall muscles are tightened.
�
Q-10�� Is there a difference in price from a full to a mini abdominoplasty?
A-����� There is a difference in price. Prices may vary from about ,000 to ,000 for a mini abdominoplasty and from 00 to 00 for a full abdominoplasty procedure. Get a Free Quote now at www.cosmeticharmony.com

Q-11�� Who is an ideal candidate for a tummy tuck? A-����� There are several important factors one must consider in determining whether or not abdominoplasty is the appropriate procedure for them. During the consultation visit with the surgeon, it is recommended that the patient ask the surgeon if they feel the patient is a good candidate for abdominoplasty. In determining one's readiness for abdominoplasty, the patient should:
�
�
Be realistic with the tummy tuck expectations Be 18 years of age or older Be mature enough to fully understand the procedure Be in relatively good physical condition Be in good psychological health Not be pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant within the next 5 years Not be severely overweight
�
Q-12 � When should I have this surgery?
A-����� Whenever some of the problems related below be your case.
when the abdomen has unattractive fatty folds of skin when you want a flat "tummy" when you have a limp and flabby "tummy" due to pregnancies or rapid weight loss. when the muscle-skin structure of the abdomen relaxes or sags due to an incorrect or sedentary life style.
�
Q-13�� How will a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) improve my personal life?
A-����� The benefits to your appearance include a flatter, firmer belly, a smoother stomach contour, and a narrower waist. Abdominoplasty also benefits many patients with abdominal stretch marks. In many cases, stretch marks below the navel are removed along with the excess skin at the close of the procedure, while the appearance of the remaining stretch marks is often improved when the skin of the abdomen is pulled taut.A flat and well-toned abdomen is something many of us strive for through exercise and weight control. Sometimes these methods cannot achieve our goals. Even individuals of otherwise normal body weight and proportion can develop an abdomen that protrudes or is loose and sagging. Tummy tuck will help you gain your confidence back, restoring your beauty and improve even your sexual life.
�
Q-14�� What are the areas a tummy tuck will deal with?
A-
?� Loose or wrinkly skin, stretch marks. This can be a result of ageing, pregnancy, or marked weight loss.
?� Fat tissue, most of the time seen in the lower abdomen.
?� Muscle separation, which can occur by itself, or as a result of pregnancy. Sit-ups or crunches don't help in this situation as once the muscles relax, they separate and the tummy bulges out.
Liposuction alone can take care of excess fat tissue, but loose skin and stretch marks must be addressed by one of three techniques: dermatolipectomy, mini-tummy tuck, or full tummy tuck.
�
Q-15�� What does it means dermatolipectomy?
A-����� A dermatolipectomy is a procedure that takes out skin and fat but does not tighten the abdominal muscles. It benefits most slender women who have wrinkly or excess skin but good muscle tone. It has the same scar as a tummy tuck.
�
Q-16 � Should I get a mini tummy tuck? Whom is it best suited for?
A-����� Well a mini tummy tuck is best suited for women who don't have stretch marks or saggy skin but have a pouch below the belly button. It can be done through an incision in the belly button, or through a C section scar if the patient wants a little excess skin taken off.
Men, on the other hand seem to have their pouch above the belly button. A doctor performs the mini tummy tuck in the same fashion by going thru a small incision in the belly button. Consult with a doctor at CosmeticHarmony.com
�
Q-17�� In What condition a mini tummy tuck is really needed?
A- ���� Mini tummy tuck is done when there is a very localized fullness in the lower abdomen, so that less muscle repair and skin removal is needed. The partial abdominoplasty (mini tummy tuck) requires one to two hours in surgery.
�
Q-18 � When should I consider a full tummy tuck?
A-����� The full tummy tuck or abdominoplasty addresses the three components of abdominal deformity (skin, fat, muscle) so it benefits most women who want as flat a stomach as possible and skin as tight as possible. Results, especially when combined with liposuction of the flanks, are dramatic. Consult with a doctor at www.cosmeticharmony.com to find out which procedure will fit your needs.
�
Q-19�� Would I have a flat abdomen after a tummy tuck?
A-����� The abdominoplasty or tummy tuck surgery is combined with an abdominal panel binder (APB). This procedure assures that after all the inflammation is gone (3 to 6 months) your abdomen wall is 80% to 100% �flat and in 80% of the cases free of stretch marks as well. This procedure also helps the patient to continue loosing weight even months after surgery. (Also read below concerning Abdominal etching).
�
Q-20�� What is an Abdominal Panel Binder or APB?
A-����� It is a procedure done during the Tummy Tuck operation that helps to tighten the abdominal muscles. The combination of APB and a dermalipectomy offer the best and most dramatic improvements in abdominal contour. A Tummy Tuck without an Abdominal Panel Binder will not reduce the waist line.

Hi Stacey. Regarding this procedure, a toned, flat tummy is a goal many of us and so I tried a lot of ways on how to have a nice tummy. Initially I tried some drugs but it didn't worked for me. Only a tummy tuck did. And I loved the result!
