Best Candidates for Tummy Tuck

Abdominoplasty can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won’t necessarily change  your looks to match your ideal image.  The best candidates for tummy-tuck surgery are of relatively stable weight and healthy, but have excess abdominal skin or fat, or a lower abdominal pouch that won’t respond to diet or exercise.  The surgery is especially helpful to women who, through multiple pregnancies, have stretched their abdominal muscles and skin beyond the point where they can return to normal.

Patients who intend to loose a lot of weight and women, who plan future pregnancies, should post-pone abdominoplasty surgery.

While this web site can give you some basic information about tummy-tuck surgery, you are invited to contact Dr. Bartell’s office for a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss the procedure in more detail, view many pre-operative and post-operative examples, and address your particular needs.
