Arguably, the cornerstone of the “Mommy Makeover” is a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty. Women are often concerned about their abdomen, as well as their breasts after pregnancy.

Dr. Bashioum’s Patient Loves Tummy Tuck
July 16th, 2012
Dr. Bashioum’s patient comments about her experience of having tummy tuck surgery. AJ writes:
Dr. Bashioum did my tummy tuck on July 2. I chose Dr. Bashioum because he doesn’t use drains and he did a good job of explaining the procedure. He also told me what I could expect as a result during my consultation.
Now 9 days later, I’m very pleased with my decision to have Dr. Bashioum do my tummy tuck. He and his staff have answered my questions and made me comfortable every step of the way.
I love the results, and highly recommend Dr. Bashioum.
