Abdominal Contouring
 Pregnancy, aging and weight changes are the most common reasons patients develop a sagging abdominal wall. Though liposuction can often be used to eliminate the bulging of the abdomen, it does little to improve the skin tone.
Dr. Brenman's first step towards improving your abdominal contour is to determine if the problem is due to weak abdominal muscles, excess fatty tissue, excess skin, or a combination. Your treatment options include the "tummy tuck" (Abdominoplasty), abdominal lipo-sculpture, mini-Abdominoplasty, and the advanced endoscopic assisted abdominal contouring. After choosing the best method for you, Dr. Brenman can help create a smoother, tighter, more attractive shape.
If you are in generally good physical shape but are concerned about abdominal fat deposits or loose skin that does not respond to diet and exercise, the procedure can potentially reduce or even eliminate a protruding abdomen.
Abdominoplasty takes approximately two to five hours under general anesthesia. Dr. Brenman will make two incisions: one from hipbone to hipbone close to the pubic area, and another around the navel. He will separate the skin from the abdominal muscles, which are then pulled together and stitched into place for a firmer abdomen and narrower waist. He will stretch the skin flap down and over the newly tightened muscles, remove excess skin, and reattach the navel in a natural position. Finally, he will close the incisions and apply sterile surgical dressings over the sutured areas.
