Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck is also known as an abdominoplasty. It is a very common and safe procedure.
During a tummy tuck, excess skin and fat is removed from the abdominal wall. The remaining tissue and muscle of the wall is then tightened. The overall effect is a smoother, tighter stomach.
Abdominoplasty is beneficial for any patient who has an over-hanging, protruding stomach. By far, the most common patients are women who have given birth and have lost the body shape they once had. In many post-partum scenarios, it can be difficult for a woman to regain her pre-pregnancy shape. Excess fat develops, and the skin of the stomach loses its natural elasticity.
A tummy tuck is ideal in this situation – it firms the skin, and removes the fat.
There are three types of tummy tucks – a standard, mini, and extended. The type used depends upon the degree of fat and sagging skin involved. Dr. Haupt will be able to determine which type of tummy tuck procedure is best for you only after an initial consultation.
OH my goodness I don't even have the words for the gratitude that I feel toward Dr. Haupt. He is truly the most exceptional doctor I have ever had.
Not only did he do a great job fixing my body, but he has the greatest demeaner. I have never forgotten how he took time out of his own life to come and make sure I was okay at the hotel I was staying in, and then came into his office on a saturday to make sure it was safe for me to go home. He is one of a kind. If all physicians had the same compassion and caring that Dr. Haupt has, our medical system would be in a lot better shape. I will not have the rest of my surgeries done by anyone else, because I know for a fact that Dr. Haupt would do it ten fold better than what any other could.
