What Should I know About My Results?

Quite soon after surgery, you will see a noticeable difference in the shape of your body.  Many people find that their firmer, flatter abdomen boosts their confidence and makes them feel more comfortable in clothing.

As the months pass, you incision line will continue to fade.  However, it's important to realize that your scar be will permanently visible. Many patients view the permanent scar as a small tradeoff for their firmer, sleeker appearance.

High Lateral Tension Abdominoplasty produces long-lasting results. Unless you gain or loose a significant amount of weight, you can expect to retain your new shape for years.  Over time, gravity and aging may cause your skin to loosen somewhat.  If this occurs, Dr. Peterson may suggest additional treatment for restoring a more youthful abdominal contour.

Dr. Peterson will discuss with you at length, what degree of improvement you may experience from your "Tummy Tuck" and may recommend including Liposuction for areas that would benefit from that procedure along with your abdominoplasty for a truly beautiful final result.  Isn't it time you turned "the unsightly into the sublime"?
