Slip into Spring with Confidence with Band Aid Tummy Tuck
As we approach the spring, summer clothes and bathing suits begin creeping into our minds. This time of year is an ideal time to seek body contouring procedures to diminish that bit of fat that may not have been there last year or shape and tuck areas to create the desirable hourglass figure. Since you must leave time for a recovery period after cosmetic surgery, double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. John L. LeRoy recommends pursuing the procedure sooner rather than later in order to allow enough time to enjoy spring and summer with the confidence you desire.
Even when you possess overall good health, regularly exercise, and practice healthy eating, that small amount of excess fat and lax skin in the midsection can be tricky to eliminate. If this sounds familiar, you may be a great candidate for Band Aid Tummy Tuck, which is designed to address isolated areas of cosmetic concern.
The convenience of a Band Aid Tummy Tuck is an appealing option for many patients, as it is performed in-office with gentle numbing. However, certain physical attributes and realistic cosmetic expectations are required to be deemed good candidates for this minimally invasive plastic surgery procedure.
During Band Aid Tummy Tuck surgery, Dr. LeRoy removes small amounts of excess skin and refines the contour of the abdomen with liposuction. Ideal Band Aid Tummy Tuck patients are within 5-10 pounds of their ideal body weight with excess fat deposits and/or mild to moderately sagging skin confined to the area of the lower abdomen. To determine if you are a more appropriate candidate for traditional or Band Aid Tummy Tuck, schedule your consultation by contacting our office.
