Abdominplasty Options

If you are considering an abdominiplasty in or around New York

, you have many options, but to make sure you get the best possible results, you have to use care in choosing from among them.

Pick a Surgeon

In making decisions about your abdominoplasty, picking your surgeon is probably the most important decision you will make. To pick the best abdominoplasty surgeon, follow these guidelines.

Pick a board-certified plastic surgeon. Abdominoplasty is major surgery, normally conducted under general anesthesia, so there is the potential for serious complications. A board-certified plastic surgeon has additional training in the crucial aspects of plastic surgery that can have an impact on your risk of complications, such as the management of blood supply, how to avoid anesthesia complications, as well as how to achieve the optimal appearance with results.

Ask where your surgery will be performed. In New York, the law requires that the place where surgeries are performed be inspected and accredited. Ask about who accredited the office and when, and you can check whether the doctor's office is accredited at the New York Department of Health site.

Ask your doctor about his experience with abdominoplasty.

Ask to see before and after pictures of the doctor's patients. Sometimes doctors will show you pictures of other doctors' cases rather than their own--this is an important warning sign. You want to see the results your doctor has achieved for other patients.

After considering these questions, pick a doctor with whom you are fully comfortable.

Pick a Procedure

If you pick a surgeon with whom you are completely comfortable, he will have a recommendation about what procedure will best meet your cosmetic goals. In most cases, it is best to trust this recommendation, but it is also good to understand the different abdominoplasty options that are available:

Full abdominoplasty-- Sometimes called a traditional or typical abdominoplasty, this procedure removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens abdominal muscles from the rib cage to the pubic area.

Mini abdominoplasty- Only removes excess skin and fat from the navel to the pubic region. May or may not include muscle tightening.

Extended abdominoplasty- Like a full abdominoplasty, but includes the removal of excess skin and fat from the love handle area. Sometimes also includes an outer thigh lift.

Circumferential abdominoplasty-Sometimes called a belt abdominoplasty, this procedure removes excess skin and fat from around the entire body. Sometimes includes an outer thigh lift and buttock lift. In every case, it is best to weight the potential risks of your surgery against the expected results.
