UNDERSTANDING THE TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a transformative surgical
procedure that helps individuals achieve a more streamlined and
youthful abdominal profile. This surgery is particularly beneficial
for those who have experienced significant weight loss or pregnancy,
as it addresses issues like loose skin, excess fat, and weakened
abdominal muscles. During the procedure, Dr. Franck makes an incision
along the lower abdomen, removes the excess skin and fat, and tightens
the underlying muscles. This results in a flatter, firmer tummy and
improved self-confidence.

THE COST OF A TUMMY TUCK IN NEW YORK

One of the most common concerns for patients considering a tummy tuck
is the cost. In New York, the price of a tummy tuck generally ranges
from $8,000 to $12,000. This variation depends on factors such as the
complexity of the surgery, the extent of skin and fat removal, and
whether additional procedures like liposuction are performed. During a
consultation, Dr. Franck provides a detailed breakdown of the costs,
ensuring that patients have a clear understanding of what to expect
financially.

HOW A TUMMY TUCK IS PERFORMED

Dr. Franck begins by carefully measuring and marking the areas of
concern to ensure a naturally contoured result. The procedure starts
with an incision in the lower abdomen, just above the pubic area. The
skin and fat are then separated from the abdominal muscles. Excess
skin and fat are removed, and the abdominal muscles are tightened. A
new opening is created for the belly button, and the remaining skin is
pulled down and reattached. The incisions are closed with internal
sutures, and in some cases, a drainage tube may be placed to manage
fluid buildup. Liposuction is often used to enhance the contour of the
flanks and lower back, creating a beautiful silhouette.

BENEFITS OF A TUMMY TUCK

A tummy tuck offers numerous benefits, including a flatter and
smoother stomach, improved muscle function, and enhanced
self-confidence. Patients often find that their clothes fit better and
feel more comfortable in their bodies. In some cases, a tummy tuck can
also alleviate back pain caused by weakened abdominal muscles.

CANDIDATE FOR ABDOMINOPLASTY

Ideal candidates for a tummy tuck are healthy adults who are unhappy
with their abdominal appearance. This includes those with excess skin
and fat, stretched or separated abdominal muscles, and a protruding
stomach. Candidates should be at or near their ideal body weight and
have realistic expectations for the surgery's outcome.

TECHNIQUES FOR TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

There are two main types of tummy tuck procedures: full tummy tuck and
mini tummy tuck. A mini tummy tuck focuses on the lower abdomen below
the belly button, making it suitable for patients with good skin
elasticity and minimal excess skin. A full tummy tuck addresses the
entire abdomen, from above the belly button to the pubic area, and is
ideal for patients with significant skin laxity and muscle separation.
Dr. Franck will help determine which technique is best suited to each
patient's needs.

COMBINING PROCEDURES WITH A TUMMY TUCK

Combining a tummy tuck with other cosmetic procedures is a popular
option for achieving comprehensive body rejuvenation. Common
combinations include a breast lift or augmentation, arm lift, thigh
lift, and liposuction. These combined procedures can enhance the
overall results and provide a more balanced and harmonious appearance.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

After a tummy tuck, patients can expect some bruising, swelling, and
discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain
medication. Most patients return to work and normal activities within
a few weeks. It's important to follow all post-operative instructions
provided by Dr. Franck to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal
results. The final results of a tummy tuck are typically visible after
a few months, once the swelling has fully subsided.

RISKS AND POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with a
tummy tuck. These include infection, bleeding, blood clots, seroma
formation, skin loss, nerve damage, and asymmetry. However,
complications are rare, and Dr. Franck takes every precaution to
minimize these risks. He thoroughly discusses potential risks and
addresses any concerns patients may have during the consultation.

CONSULTATION WITH DR. FRANCK

Dr. Franck is a highly sought-after plastic surgeon with extensive
training from Cornell and Columbia university hospitals. His artistic
eye and commitment to natural beauty and balance make him a trusted
choice for tummy tuck surgery. During the consultation, Dr. Franck
takes a comprehensive medical history, performs a detailed
examination, and explains the pre-and post-operative course in depth.
Patients can expect personalized care, honesty, and integrity
throughout their surgical journey.

Choosing to undergo breast augmentation is a significant decision, and
understanding the procedure and techniques involved is crucial for
achieving the desired results.

UNDERSTANDING BREAST AUGMENTATION

Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, involves the
placement of implants to enhance the size and shape of the breasts.
This procedure is tailored to meet each patient’s unique goals,
whether it’s to increase breast size, restore volume, improve
symmetry, or enhance the overall contour of the body.

THE PROCEDURE

CONSULTATION:

	* The process begins with a comprehensive consultation with
dredmundkwan. During this session, the patient's goals, medical
history, and expectations are thoroughly discussed.
	* dredmundkwan provides detailed information about the different
types of implants, incision options, and placement techniques to help
the patient make informed decisions.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT IMPLANTS:

	* IMPLANT TYPES: Patients can choose between saline and silicone
implants, each offering unique benefits. Silicone implants are known
for their natural feel, while saline implants are filled with a
sterile saltwater solution.
	* IMPLANT SHAPE: Options include round and teardrop-shaped implants,
which can influence the final appearance of the breasts.
	* IMPLANT SIZE: Dr. Shokrian assists patients in selecting the
appropriate size based on their body proportions and aesthetic goals.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES:

	* INCISION OPTIONS: The location of the incision is crucial for
minimizing visible scarring. Common incision sites include:

	* INFRAMAMMARY: Along the natural crease under the breast.
	* PERIAREOLAR: Around the lower edge of the areola.
	* TRANSAXILLARY: Within the armpit, leaving no scar on the breast
itself.

	* IMPLANT PLACEMENT: Implants can be placed either under the pectoral
muscle (submuscular) or directly behind the breast tissue
(subglandular). Each placement has its advantages, which dredmundkwan
discusses with the patient to determine the best option for their
needs.

THE SURGERY:

	* The procedure is performed under general anesthesia to ensure
patient comfort.
	* dredmundkwan makes the chosen incision and creates a pocket for the
implant.
	* The implant is inserted and positioned, and the incision is closed
with sutures.
	* The entire procedure typically takes one to two hours.

RECOVERY:

	* Patients are monitored in a recovery area before being allowed to
go home the same day.
	* Post-operative instructions include guidelines on managing
discomfort, caring for the incision sites, and resuming activities.
	* Most patients return to normal activities within a few weeks, with
complete recovery and final results visible after a few months.

EXPERTISE IN BREAST IMPLANTS AND LIFTS

Dr. Bastidas, a distinguished plastic and reconstructive surgeon, has
extensive experience in breast implants and lifts, serving the
communities in New York and Long Island. His expertise spans both
saline and silicone breast implants, each offering unique benefits
tailored to patient needs.

SALINE BREAST IMPLANTS: Saline breast implants, composed of round
silicone shells filled with salt water, are often mandatory for
patients under 22 years old. These implants can be placed using a
smaller incision as they are filled once positioned in the breast
pocket. However, in the event of a rupture, the augmented breast will
deflate, revealing asymmetry. Dr. Bastidas typically places saline
implants in a sub-pectoral or sub-fascial plane to ensure proper
tissue coverage, mitigating the potential for rippling under the skin,
especially in thinner patients.

SILICONE BREAST IMPLANTS: Silicone breast implants are preferred for
their superior texture and form compared to saline implants. Available
in round or teardrop (anatomical) shapes, these implants require a
slightly larger incision for placement. Modern silicone implants are
highly cohesive, reducing the risk of silicone leakage in case of a
rupture. Dr. Bastidas utilizes smooth silicone implants, which have
not been associated with Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL).
Regular exams and surveillance are recommended to monitor implant
integrity and address any issues promptly.

Patients are informed that today's breast implants, often backed by
warranties, are more cohesive and durable. Nonetheless, implants may
need to be exchanged or removed due to capsular contracture typically
after 10-12 years. Dr. Bastidas emphasizes natural results, often
advising smaller implant sizes to ensure longevity and a more natural
appearance.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE AND RECOVERY

Breast augmentation surgery typically lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours,
extending to approximately 3-3.5 hours if combined with a breast lift.
The procedure is conducted on an outpatient basis, with recovery being
swift, often requiring minimal pain medication and allowing patients
to resume daily activities within 1-2 days.

COMBINED BREAST LIFT PROCEDURES

For many women, especially post-childbirth, a breast lift in
conjunction with implant placement is essential to address skin
stretching and sagging. Dr. Bastidas corrects these issues by removing
excess skin and tightening the breast envelope, creating a youthful
and natural appearance.

BREAST LIFT TECHNIQUES:

	* LOLLIPOP INCISION (CIRCUMVERTICAL): This method involves an
incision around the nipple and down the front of the breast,
repositioning the nipple-areolar complex and removing excess skin to
tighten the breast.
	* ANCHOR PATTERN (WISE PATTERN): For more significant lifts, an
additional incision under the breast may be necessary, providing a
comprehensive lift and reshaping.

Combining breast lifts with augmentations enhances the breast’s
size, perkiness, and elevation. Dr. Bastidas often recommends smaller
implants during these procedures to achieve the most natural and
youthful results.
