Tummy Tuck and Proper Incision Placement
Current tummy tuck surgery techniques with the addition of liposuction can produce a dramatic improvement in your figure. However I occasionally see patients with acceptable results that could be so much better with proper incision placement. It is my approach to mark patients so the final skin will fall within the lines of a two-piece bathing suit. Once in a while a small vertical incision is required which may show just above this line, but this is a small trade off for an incision that is placed too high and shows completely. Placing tension on the anterior thigh instead of the pubic area prevents pubic hairline distortion with the additional benefit of some lift on the anterior thigh skin. I ask my patients to bring their bathing suit bottom on the day of surgery for proper incision placement.
