Your Tummy Tuck in Hawaii

Has pregnancy caused your abdominal skin and muscles to get flabby? Do you feel as if your tummy is hanging down to your toes? Has yo-yo excessive weight loss followed by weight gain followed by weight loss left a layer of loose extra skin and stretched out, thin muscles?

Could your weak stomach muscles and extra fatty tissue be contributing to your bad posture and causing potential back problems? The Hawaii tummy tuck procedure is designed to correct these situations.

It is important to understand right away that abdominoplasty is NOT a weight loss procedure or a substitute for a healthy diet or sensible exercise. Although the procedure removes some fat, it is not an obesity cure. You should be at normal or near-normal weight before undergoing abdominoplasty. Honolulu or other Hawaii women who plan to have children in the future should not have a tummy tuck since the entire abdomen will stretch considerably with pregnancy.

Liposuction of the abdomen and other areas is commonly performed with abdominoplasty. Honolulu plastic surgeon Dr. Schlesinger is able to work with other medical specialists to combine tummy tuck with other procedures such as hernia repair, tubal ligation, bladder suspension or hysterectomy. Consult extensively with your medical team to determine the timing and appropriateness of your desired procedures and ultimate outcome.
