Dr. Bashioum’s Patient Loves Tummy Tuck
June 17th, 2013
Teri writes: I am now 6 months from my abdominoplasty or tummy tuck surgery procedure. After losing 112 pounds, I had quite a bit of extra skin and wanted a change. Dr. Bashioum and his staff took care of this for me. He tightened up the ‘lazy’ muscles and tightened up the skin. It looks great! I would recommend Dr. Bashioum to everyone. He and all of the staff did a great job!
Dr. Bashioum replies: Thank you for your kind comments, Teri. Approximately 110,000 women choose to have tummy nipntucks in the US each year, according to statistics released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
Many of those patients opt for this surgery as part of the mommy make-over following pregnancy, while others have lost a significant amount of weight like Teri has done before considering surgery. Abdominoplasty is an effective procedure to flatten the tummy and reduce any excess sagging skin (frequently called muffin top) to give the abdomen a more trim appearance. I find that patient satisfaction is extremely high following this kind of surgery.
