Tummy Tightening
August 7th, 2012
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. The natural growth of the baby within the uterus pushes the abdominal wall forward, stretching both the skin and the muscles. The separation of the rectus muscles is known as a diastasis recti. Hernias of the groin and belly button can also occur. Much of the distortion goes away after delivery, but extra skin and muscle weakness often remains. For some women this is a concern.

Patient Comment: Tummy Nipntuck
September 14th, 2011

I am now 6 months from my abdominoplasty or tummy tuck surgery last March. After losing 112 pounds, I had quite a bit of extra skin. 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. Over 150,000 women chose tummy nipntucks in the US each year. Many patients opt for this surgery as part of the mommy make-over , while others have lost a significant amount of weight like Teri has done before considering surgery. I find that patient satisfaction is extremely high following this kind of surgery.
