Tummy Tuck Evaluation
During your tummy tuck consult we carefully listen to your concerns to gain an understanding of your desired changes and improvements.
The second step during your visit is the evaluation. During this process we evaluate the quality of your skin as well as the volume and position of fat collections around your abdomen. Your abdominal wall is examined for hernias, widening of muscle layers, extra loose skin, and stretch marks. Measurements and photograph are taken.
Finally, based upon the evaluation, we will give you our opinion about your options in an honest and straightforward way. Sometimes, liposuction alone may be an acceptable treatment to achieve your desired effect. Other options may be a mini tummy tuck, a full tummy tuck, or a combination of a tummy tuck and liposuction. You can expect to spend 45 minutes in our office during your first visit.
