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 […]

Liposuction / Tummy Tuck

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!

Typically when your abdominal skin and subcutaneous tissue rolls over when you sit down, a tummy tuck is needed. When the abdomen has tight skin that bulges from fatty deposits which are diet and exercise resistant, […]
