Visit us online at http://www.randcosmeticsurgery.com or call 425-688-8828 Dr. Richard Rand explains a tummy tuck and what type of patient may elect for this procedure. Plastic surgeons tend to have a unique approach to performing a tummy tuck and Dr. Rand's technique pays close attention to a sculpted upper abdomen in addition to a tightened lower abdomen. Video Transcript: The patients absolutely love their flat, tight tummy. They love the pictures that I give them, showing their befores and afters, typically at about the 2-month point, and they're thrilled with the fact that now they have the abdomen that they have wanted for so long. A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure performed on the abdomen to tighten loose abdominal muscles and to remove loose and lax excess abdominal skin. It's typically done on people who've had children because pregnancy stretches the muscles and stretches the skin. Occasionally, a tummy tuck is done on a massive weight loss patient. I think it's important for patients to understand that there are different versions of tummy tucks. Every surgeon has their own personal technique and I think that one of the things that really sets one technique apart from others is what you do in the upper abdomen. What I like to do, and I think you can see in the pictures that we have, is to create a very athletic, toned, sculpted upper abdomen, one which has a more hourglass shape. That is the kind of result I think patients can take joyfully back to the gym and work with over the next year or two to really maximize the result they get. It's possible to get a tummy that's even better than before kids. We'll have some people who will have a tummy tuck who will say, you know even before kids my tummy always a little bit poochy. And maybe they've got a bit of a genetic muscle laxity. So some of them wind up even with a better tummy than they ever had. http://www.randcosmeticsurgery.com or call 425-688-8828
