Tummy Tuck New York

Tummy tuck is a body contouring procedure commonly performed at Dr. Jacobs' New York practice. This procedure can help women that have experienced pregnancy and as result, have various accumulations of fat, lax skin, some protrusion and occasional stretch marks in the abdominal area. This procedure can also benefit men who show signs of a protruding abdomen. By undergoing a tummy tuck, men and women can rejuvenate the appearance of their abdominal area. There have been advancements to the tummy tuck procedure including the introduction of the “mini tummy tuck” technique, which has now become the procedure of choice.

The traditional tummy tuck procedure can remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen and may also tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. However, the procedure does produce a permanent scar that usual extends from hip to hip. A mini tummy tuck improves the appearance of the abdomen below the navel. Unlike the traditional tummy tuck, this mini tummy tuck utilizes a shorter, more unobtrusive scar that can be hidden under the briefest of bikinis. If you are interested in improving the appearance of your abdomen, please contact Dr. Jacobs' New York practice to schedule a consultation. During consultation, Dr. Jacobs will advise you on which body contouring procedure will help you achieve your cosmetic goal.
