    Tummy Tuck:

      Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) is a great operation that can solve a number of problems. It is an area of special concentration at Nevada Plastic Surgery. It is particularly good for women who have had children. Pregnancy can damage the abdomen with excessive stretch of the skin and separation of the recti muscles which should join in the middle of the abdomen. Exercise cannot restore the muscles to their normal position and a persistent bulge remains. Along with virtually impossible to diet away fat in the lower abdomen, a disproportionately bulging lower abdomen remains. The skin is stretched out and no longer elastic and tight. Stretch marks are usually especially evident under the belly button, just the skin that will be removed. 

     In this procedure, the skin and fatty tissue between the belly button and the pubic area is removed. The weak, bulging abdominal muscles are tightened to flatten and strengthen the abdomen. The excess skin above the belly button is redistributed to cover the entire abdomen. The result is a tight, flattened, strengthened abdomen. The scar is very acceptable and is across the lower abdomen just above the pubic area. Look at some Before and After Photographs.

         Men also benefit from tummy tuck, particularly after weight loss. The large amount of excess skin is removed along with any fat and the muscles are tightened.

 
Mini-Tummy Tuck: 

        For some patients, a full tummy tuck is not needed. They are usually younger and do not have a large amount of excess skin. Their problems are bulging of the abdomen below the belly button caused by excess fat and weak abdominal muscles. In this procedure, fat is liposuctioned out, the muscles are tightened, and a small amount of excess skin is removed through a short transverse incision just above the pubic area leaving a flatter, slimmer, and stronger abdomen.
