A tummy tuck, also known as an abdominoplasty, can address the areas in the upper and lower abdomen. Your doctor will make a horizontal incision from one hip to the other where they will remove excess skin, repair the abdominal muscles, and contour the stomach. After the incisions are sutured, you can notice a more toned abdomen.
A belt lipectomy, also known as a body lift, addresses a larger portion of the body. During this surgery, incisions are made around the lower abdomen and above the buttocks. The doctor removes excess skin and fat in the abdomen, sides, buttocks, and back and repairs damaged muscles. Liposuction can be used in this procedure if stubborn fat is present. After the excess skin is removed, the skin is stretched to meet the incisions, giving you a more toned midsection area and more shapely buttocks. This can provide a lifting effect on the body allowing your body to appear more contoured and the buttocks to appear more lifted.

A breast cancer diagnosis is overwhelming in so many ways. There are a lot of emotions. Dr. Ali Mosharrafa and his entire staff put me at ease at every step. After surgery, I was very self conscious, and the way I was treated with each visit helped me as much as the excellent medical care. Whether it is for an elective procedure or a surgery due to illness, I cannot endorse Dr. Ali more as a physician and human.
