Frequently Asked Questions about My Band Aid Tummy Tuck
Q.) A tummy tuck seems like a pretty comprehensive procedure. How can it possibly be minimally invasive?
A.) Yes, a traditional tummy tuck is a significant procedure, which is why I refined the comparable “mini” version for those patients who could benefit from a tummy tuck, but don’t necessarily need the full procedure. I use a different technique with the Band Aid version, only targeting the areas that need the most attention. This technique requires a shorter incision, and can therefore be performed in-office with local anesthesia.
Q.) What are the main differences in the Band Aid Tummy Tuck and the traditional tummy tuck?
A.) The incision for the Band Aid Tummy Tuck is significantly smaller than the incision required with the traditional procedure. Instead of excising fat and skin across the entire tummy, I focus solely on those areas that need attention. The most significant difference, though, is the shorter recovery time associated with the Band Aid Tummy Tuck.
