We continue our education series this week discussing the pros and cons of a full Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) and a Mini Tummy Tuck (Mini-Abdominoplasty). The specific type of anesthesia is also an important point to consider. We believe both full Tummy Tuck and Mini Tummy Tuck can improve your quality of life, boost your self-esteem and self-confidence and is a safe procedure that Dr. Casas has performed many times over her 20+ year career as a cosmetic plastic surgeon.

Dr. Laurie A. Casas writes about the different options for surgical fat reduction and highlights the differences between a traditional Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) and the so-called Mini Tummy Tuck (Mini Abdominoplasty). You may also want to consider other non-surgical fat reduction options like CoolSculpting or Liposuction.
Question:
I’m in my mid-fifties and finally at a point in my life where I can focus on taking care of me. Ever since I had children, I’ve had loose abdominal skin that really bothers me. I’m interested in getting a tummy tuck, but I’m not sure which procedure would be best for me: mini tummy […]
After receiving an email inquiry regarding Lipodissolve I felt compelled to touch base on options available for fat removal.
What can you do to remove tummy fat?
Eliminate Simple Carbs From your Diet
Liposuction / Tummy Tuck
Eliminate Carbs. Tummy fat is usually collected in people who eat simple carbs such as: white bread, pasta, rice, bananas, corn, peas and all fruit except apples, berries and cherries; try eliminating these foods from your diet for a month or two, this may help you achieve your desired look. Beer or alcohol with mixers are also major contributors to tummy fat so don’t over look eliminating […]
Question: I’m looking to try some chemical peels for my stretch marks before I consider other surgery options, what other treatments are there?
Answer: Great question! Unfortunately right now there is no reliably treatment for stretch marks. Some laser treatments can decrease the darker stretch marks; but for the whiter stretch marks there aren’t effective treatments.
Now if your stretch marks are in areas which lend themselves to be cut out, such as the lower abdominal area then a tummy tuck may be your best option!

QuestionI have lost 65 pounds and now look like a melting candle. What options do I have for my sagging arms, stomach, thighs?
Answer Congratulations on the weight loss! I understand the need to alter the “melting candle” look resulting from this dramatic drop in weight. To achieve your desired image we might be looking at a couple of different procedures. Typically if you have poor elasticity and extra skin, surgical excision is needed. You may need bracelets, abdominoplasty and thigh lift.
An abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) procedure will remove excess skin/fat from the abdomen area. During an initial consultation we’ll examine your […]
Question: After lipo do you need a tummy tuck? Is there alot of skin left hanging?
Answer: You may or may not need both. It depends on an individuals skin elasticity. When a patient has rapid weight gains or losses (pregnancy for example) sometimes the skin does not bounce back. The patient can pull it away and it sags. So these patients, regardless of their age, need skin resection when that body part is addressed. Evaluating a persons skin elasticity is a key element for all body contouring procedures. The best way to evaluate that is to come in for a […]
