Choosing The Right Tummy Tuck Surgeons For Your Tummy Tuck Procedure
January 23rd, 2009
As you ply along EDSA, you can’t help but notice these adorable people with well chiseled bodies and youthful physique on billboards. Most of the time too, they have this youthful fresh look and just this perfect combination of different facial features. It usually results from combination of religious work out, healthy diet and a basically ‘clean’ lifestyle. But some, if not most are unabashedly products of ‘modern science’ or what is popularly known as cosmetic plastic surgery.
Beauty or youthful look is something that we often desire and aspire for, that’s why a lot of people or company offers products or procedures that enhances our physical appearance. Most Cosmetic Plastic Surgeons believe that improving our physical appearance, make us feel good about ourselves or enhance our emotional well being and social acceptance. For some lucky people they are physically born with it and have maintained it through the years. And for a significantly increasing part of the population, they have opted to undergo a cosmetic procedure, to say the least.
Cosmetic Plastic Surgery has gone a long way locally and worldwide. Nowadays more and more people have thought of and accepted such procedures as Rhinoplasty (Nose Job), Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery/Eye bag Removal), Rhytidectomy (Face Lift), Liposuction just to name a few.
As simple and easy as it may seem (according to your Plastic Surgeons), there are very important things that one has to keep in mind before plunging into that pool of youth and beauty. Everybody wants to have that extra boost of self esteem and confidence and achieve that timeless beauty through the best possible post operative results with the least of complication.
Plastic Surgeons are appropriately and completely termed Plastic Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgeons…, however they are now increasingly and popularly being called Plastic Cosmetic Surgeons. The surgeon can not call himself a plastic surgeon unless he can do both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. Since the very root of almost all cosmetic/aesthetic procedures can be traced from early reconstructive procedure. Thus a surgeon whose main interest is aesthetic plastic surgery, must also have a firm foundation on the reconstructive surgery, to better grasp the basic principle and application of cosmetic/aesthetic plastic surgery. Reconstructive plastic surgery is a prerequisite in training for all plastic surgeons. So plastic surgeons are both an aesthetic/cosmetic surgeon and reconstructive surgeon. At present, there are just a relatively limited number of certified Plastic Surgeon that one can go to. However, the so called run of the mill cosmetic surgeons without adequate formal training and experience abound and are alarmingly increasing.
There are no short cuts to being one (Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon). It takes 6 to 8 years to transform a doctor after medical school into a Certified Plastic Surgeon (or 16 to 18 years to include Premed Course, Medicine Proper, Medical Internship, General Surgery Residency and Plastic Surgery Residency). It is through these years of formal training that Plastic Surgeons are able to acquire and equip themselves of the knowledge and skills that is required in his private practice. Such as knowing all possible options for a patient inquiring for a cosmetic procedure, being able to predict end result and being able to evaluate if patients are good candidate for the cosmetic procedure they want. And most importantly knowing the complications for any cosmetic and reconstructive procedure and being able to address if any complication arises.
So, if you have concerns on your looks and planning to have aesthetic or cosmetic enhancement of any part of your body. Planning to have a cosmetic plastic procedure and choosing the right surgeon are the major decisions you have to make. Your Surgeon should aim to provide safe and guaranteed results in the procedure they would offer you.
New Life Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery Center, Located in Managed Care Medical Clinic, Ground Floor, Summit Tower 1 Bldg., Shaw Blvd., is a place patient can strongly consider. There you will find a group of fully trained, certified Plastic Surgeons performing beauty enhancing procedures all year round. The group is composed of Dr. Gil Fernandez, Dr. Hector Santos, Dr. James Joaquino, Dr. Edwin Del Rosario, Dr. Rino Lorenzo VII, Dr. Edwin Paul Magallona, Dr. Mark Sison, and the only female in the group Dr. Cristina Librojo.
Dr. Rino Lorenzo VII (you can read the complete discussion on http://www.philippineplastic.com) a member of the group, shares some tips on your decision-making.
1. Cosmetic Surgery should be done only according to the highest standards by the most competent surgeons.
2. Take time and effort in knowing your doctor’s academic profile and formal training in the field of Cosmetic Plastic Surgery.
3. Determine if your surgeon has organizational affiliation and privileges in Plastic Surgery.
4. Take note if the outpatient facility is well equipped.
5. Don’t be encouraged to undergo the newest cosmetic product or procedure with out proven safety and result.
6. A good surgeon should be able to establish rapport with their patients, and is able to answer all your inquiries. And evaluate if all your questions or worries were answered adequately.
Dr. E Magallona ( http://www.magallonaplasticsurgery.com ) adds that patients should not hesitate to ask anything and everything about their concerns. This is clearly not a good time to be shy. It may take several visits, if necessary, to fully understand what you are getting into but it would definitely be worth your time when you get the bigger and better picture of things. Also understand that you cannot just pick out from any magazine a physical feature that you like and have it copied. Prospective patients should be aware that cosmetic plastic surgery will enhance your natural beauty. A perfect result is never guaranteed. Patients and Surgeons are but humans, however in the hands of a certified plastic surgeon, one is better off and in the best position of having very good and satisfying result.
The New Life group has its eyes on being of service not only in the local market but in the international scene as well especially in the United States. Medical tourism in Asia in general is thriving very well and the group plans to provide its significant share in the Philippines.
Dr. James Joaquino says, ‘We are not claiming to be the best. We just want to educate the public regarding Cosmetic Plastic Surgery. I would say that Filipino Plastic Surgeons are internationally competitive when it comes to these procedures”.

How A Tummy Tuck Procedure Tightens Your Belly
January 23rd, 2009
A tummy tuck is a procedure that tightens the stomach muscles and removes excess fat and skin from the abdominal region. Tummy tucks can also help to eliminate stretch marks.
The length of the surgery is dependent upon the extent of the procedure. Most tummy tuck surgeries take two to four hours. In a complete tummy tuck an incision is made from hipbone to hipbone, the underlying muscles are tightened and the skin is pulled down and excess skin is removed. If necessary, the belly button is repositioned. A partial or mini abdominoplasty is also an option for patients who want a less extensive procedure.
A tummy tuck is not intended to be used as a means to weight loss. Individuals considering abdominoplasty should be individuals in good health who simply want to address stubborn fatty pockets in the abdominal region.
Tummy tuck Atlanta is considered major surgery and your plastic surgeon should devote a considerable amount of time to patient education and communication to ensure that you, the patient are fully informed about the procedure.
In most cases, women considering a tummy tuck should not be considering additional pregnancies, or they may have the need for a second procedure to tighten the belly. In many cases, a tummy tuck does help rid of stretch marks 
because it removes most of the "stretched out" skin below the navel.
During a tummy tuck, the doctor makes an incision that extends from hip to hip along the lower pubic area. A skilled plastic surgeon should make this incision so that the resulting scar is hidden under a bathing suit or by undergarments. The doctor then lifts the loose skin off of the abdominal wall, and tightens and repairs the loosened "rectus" muscles, the muscles that normally give the abdomen its strength, achieving the effect that an old fashioned girdle would.
The umbilicus or "belly button" is disconnected from the abdomen, and reattached after the loose skin is removed. The plastic surgeon not only tightens the abdominal wall, but also pulls up and tightens the thighs and the buttocks. Drains will be inserted into each side of your abdomen to remove excess fluid as it accumulates following surgery.
During Mini Abdominoplasty, the plastic surgeon makes an incision that generally spans only the width of the pubic area, and that is similar to a C section incision. In both procedures, patients with excessive fat in the hips and flanks may have liposuction in these areas to contour them, but not in the areas of the abdomen that are being stretched because this could cause damage to the blood circulation in those areas, leading to scarring or even skin loss.
The result of a tummy tuck is an abdomen that is tight and flat, a waist that is narrow and curvy and thighs and buttocks that are firmer.

How is a Tummy Tuck Procedure Performed?
January 17th, 2009
Depending on the amount of loose skin and on the deposit of fat, people may choose between a full tummy tuck and a mini tummy tuck. As the name implies, this is characterized by a smaller incision and leaves a smaller scar. Before proceeding to the surgical intervention, it is necessary to perform a blood test, as well as an allergy test, in order to determine a possible allergy to the anesthetic.
The anesthetist may opt between local and general anesthesia. The surgery is performed in about 1 hour. The mini tummy tuck surgical intervention relies on a small incision (15 cm) that is done right above the pubic area. The incision is either horizontal or curvy. Plastic surgeons use stitches to bring the muscles of the lower abdomen together. These stitches are removed after 7 days since the surgery. The size of the scar that results after this intervention is conditioned by the care that is provided by the surgeon. However, in general the area is covered by clothes or bath suit, so nobody else will notice it. Also, it is good to know that the scar tends to become less and less observable, as time goes by.
The area in which the incision is performed is not exposed to pressure, usually. As a result of this fact, healing does not require a long period of time. Even though each body heals in a certain period of time and in a specific manner, most of the patients are able to go back to their usual activities after 7 days. More than that, the patient does not require hospitalization. In addition, this surgical procedure can be combined with one or many other interventions, such as liposuction, in order to benefit to the maximum from the incision that is made.
After going through this intervention, people must find someone to take care of them for 24 to 48 hours. The patient needs to visit the doctor periodically, as it follows: the first visit after 1 day, then after 1 week, 1 month, 3, 6, and 12 months. During the first days after the surgery, it is better to take analgesics, as a mild pain may be felt. When the recovery period is over, people will remain with the permanent results of the mini tummy tuck surgery. If the intervention is performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, then the probability for complications to appear is minimal.

Lipoabdominoplasty: A Modern Tummy Tuck Procedure
January 17th, 2009
Lipoabdominoplasty: A New And Improved Tummy Tuck
For patients weighting their options between a tummy tuck or liposuction in the abdominal area, new technology exists to provide the best of both worlds using lipoabdominoplasty.
is a revolutionary procedure which combines the traditional abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) procedure with aggressive liposuction to achieve a more sculpted, sleek and defined look in the abdominal area. There are a variety of benefits in choosing lipoabdominoplasty over stand alone liposuction or abdominoplasty procedures.
Lipoabdominoplasty surgery has considerably less complications than traditional liposuction or abdominoplasty alone, including a lower rate of seroma, less postoperative numbness, a shorter scar and quicker recovery due to reduced swelling, bruising and pain. Best of all, the recovery time can be as short as ten days for patients concerned with an absence from work or sitter issues.
This procedure is ideal for those looking to lose weight and tighten the stomach area at the same time. With liposuction alone, fat deposits are permanently removed, but the procedure does not address the issue of loose or hanging skin following dramatic weight loss. Stretch marks may also cover the surgical area, leaving a slimmer, but aesthetically unappealing look to the abs.
The tummy tuck, however, does address the issue of loose skin, but does nothing to remove the layers of fat below the surface. Loose or unappealing skin is simply removed to create a tighter and sleeker look in the stomach area.
Alternatively, lipoabdominoplasty combines the two procedures to remove excess fat using liposuction while tucking and sculpting the abs for a more sleek and toned look. The patient is able to achieve the best of both procedures with minimal complications as detailed above.
The procedure itself is relatively straight forward and starts with aggressive liposuction of the entire abdominal area. The patient will be sedated intravenously and given a local anesthetic solution near the area of incision. Typically two small cuts will be made in the abdominal area to create minimal scarring following lipoabdominoplasty surgery.
After the liposuction is complete, the skin below the umbilicus is removed (similar to a traditional tummy tuck); however, the lymphatic vessels will remain intact to reduce postoperative swelling and pain during the healing process. Next the 
upper abdominal skin flap is undermined and the rectus muscles are placated. Finally, the surgical site is closed with multiple layers of dissolvable sutures to reduce the occurrence of postoperative scar spreading.
As previously noted, the recovery time can be as little as ten days, as pain and swelling are less dramatic than what accompanies a traditional tummy tuck or liposuction procedure.
Lipoabdominoplasty can also be combined with other procedures such as the liposuction of hips, back and extremities, breast augmentation or facial surgery for those considering a more "complete makeover".
To find out if lipoabdominoplasty is right for you, consult with a well respected plastic surgeon that has significant experience and training in this area. Future plans and goals (such as anticipated pregnancies, dietary and exercise concerns) should be addressed during the initial consultation to provide the most accurate assessment of your plastic surgery needs.

What Will A Tummy Tuck Procedure Do For You?
January 17th, 2009
Tummy Tuck: What It Will And Won’t Do For You
Saggy skin in the abdominal area can result from many things- pregnancy, extreme weight gain and the loss and simply the loss of elasticity as you age. Whatever the reason, you’ve got loose skin draping over your waistband and you hate it. You can’t wear the size clothes you should and forget about going to the beach or pool.
A tummy tuck can help you with your problem. A tummy tuck can do a lot of things for you, but there are some things it can’t do. If you are thinking about having this procedure, you need to have realistic expectations. Here’s what you need to know:
A tummy tuck can…
1. Remove excess skin. In the case of pregnancy and weight gain, the skin gets stretched to its limits. After the baby is born or the weight is lost, the skin may not bounce back to normal. This is particularly true after multiple pregnancies or extreme weight gain and prolonged weight gain. This cosmetic procedure makes an incision in the pelvic region and the excess skin is cut away. The remaining skin is pulled taut, flattening the area and showing off your abdominals.
2. Restores muscle strength. While the incision is open, your surgeon can also pull your abdominal muscles together and strengthen them for better control. This is especially important after pregnancy because the muscles are stretched to their limits along with the skin. Strengthening the muscles also gives a more shapely contoured abdominal area.
3. Improve self-esteem. You will feel better about your body once the sagging skin is removed. Your clothes will fit better and you won’t be self-conscious in a bikini or with your shirt off. Intimacy may even improve because you are more confident in your skin and like the way you look.
It cannot…
1. Substitute for diet and exercise. A tummy tuck should be the last step in your weight loss process. Even if liposuction is used at the same time, it is only to remove the stubborn fat that you couldn’t lose. You should be at the weight you want before having this procedure.
2. Last forever. Yes, the results are permanent… at least until age starts catching up with you again. But, for the results to last you have to take care of yourself. Prior to the surgery, make sure you are at the weight you want to be and have maintained it for awhile and that you are done having children. If you can’t guarantee this, wait on the procedure. After the excess skin is removed, anything that stretches the area can create even bigger problems as well as ugly stretch marks. As you age, you will lose elasticity, but that will much further down the road.
Once you know you are ready for a tummy tuck, now you have to find the right surgeon. Make sure he is board certified and licensed in plastic surgery and has experience with this procedure. During your consultation, be clear about your expectations but also take your surgeon’s advice into consideration. He will evaluate your body and your health to make sure you are ready to proceed.

Tummy Tuck Procedure Is It For Me?
January 17th, 2009
The tummy tuck is one of plastic surgery’s most popular procedures. Everybody’s doing it, from housewives to middle aged guys, to all kinds of regular folks like you and me. The idea is simple - It gets rid of the extra that you don’t want hanging around.
A tummy tuck may be right for you if…
- You have reached the age where the flab won’t stay away, no matter how much you exercise and eat right.
- You’ve exhausted all your options and you’re tired of still seeing that belly every time you take your shirt off.
- You’ve gone through pregnancy and childbirth, and your belly hasn’t snapped back into place like your doctor said it would.
- Finally, you’ve taken off all the weight and you’ve just got that one pesky little pouch hanging around.
Abdominal fat is natural for all adults, and it’s awfully hard to get rid of. That’s why plastic surgery offers the abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck.
How the Tummy Gets Tucked
The procedure is relatively simple. A plastic surgeon makes an incision between the belly and pubic hair-line. Once the cut is made, the doctor will to two things: Remove excess tissue and repair muscles.
The tissue is the stuff you can’t get rid of through exercise and dieting. This is not only regular fat; it is also extra skin, tissue and subcutaneous fat that lie just beneath the skin. This unwanted tissue is the reason exercise won’t get rid of the belly.
Another reason for abdominal fat is the weakening of muscles over time. When we age, especially if we aren’t in absolutely perfect physical shape, this muscle tissue gets weakened and sags. A plastic surgeon can easily repair this muscle and get it into prime shape again.
After the readjusting and removal is finished, the cut is sutured. You will be out of the clinic in just hours, and now you’re on the way to healing… and enjoying your new, slim belly!
But Wait… We’re Not Finished Yet!
Recovering from abdominoplasty can be difficult. Remember, this is real surgery, so you’ll have to take it easy, follow doctor’s orders, and be patient as your body heals.
Unfortunately, tummy tuck isn’t the answer to all of our problems. You still have to eat right and get some exercise otherwise the belly will come back. After a month or so, when you are recovered and able to resume your everyday activities, it’s time to start a healthy living plan to keep your body into shape.
Be sure to exercise carefully. Don’t do any exercise that stretches your abdomen and may re-open incisions. Don’t do any rigorous exercise that will get your heart beating too much, either. After about a month, start slowly with a mild exercise routine such as treadmill or walking. Slowly ease into your new exercise routine.
Remember also to eat healthy. Avoid fats and sugars, watch portion sizes, and make sure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals. Keep tabs on your belly and make sure it doesn’t want to start growing again.
You might be the perfect candidate for a tummy tuck. The best way to find out is to get a free consultation with a plastic surgeon. Abdominoplasty plastic surgery might be just the thing to help you waste your waistline.
