Atlanta, GA (Vocus/PRWEB ) November 4, 2009 -- “Pregnancy and extreme weight loss are the primary culprits of sagging excess skin around the abdomen,” says Dr. Bauer. “As a result, men and women become self-conscious about their bodies and hide behind baggy clothes. There’s no reason they can’t start the New Year off with a flatter tummy and a new found confidence.”

Depending on the severity of the sagging skin, a tummy tuck Atlanta can be a mini or partial procedure or a full tuck. The mini strictly addresses the pooch on the lower part of the abdomen while a full tuck addresses the upper and lower portions. The muscles are also tightened after the excess skin and fat are removed to give a tighter tummy.

A mini tuck involves a smaller incision around the pubis. The full tuck involves a similar incision slightly extended more towards the hips and repositioning of the belly button for a more natural look.

Whether a mini-tummy tuck or standard tummy tuck (which includes tightening of the muscles) is performed, both procedures work to remove that excess baggy skin which greatly affects a person’s self-esteem and can interfere in social and intimate situations. To enhance the results, liposuction is often performed in conjunction with the abdominoplasty to create the flattest, well-formed abdomen possible.

It typically takes six weeks to get back to normal routine including strenuous activities. Previous patients have compared recuperating time to a c-section type recovery or hysterectomy. Results will be noticeable immediately following the procedure, but it may take a couple of months before all of the swelling and bruising is gone. “Just in time for the New Year’s celebrations,” says Dr. Bauer. “What better gift to give yourself than a new you- full of confidence and sex appeal?”

Even after the New Year, results will continue to gradually improve and the transformation should be complete in about 6 months to take the patient into swimsuit season.

Dr. Bauer wants to remind his patients that a tummy tuck is not a weight loss method. You should be within at least 20% of your goal weight and be finished having children before pursuing this procedure. The purpose of this procedure is to slim and shape the abdomen, and repair muscle tone if needed, not get rid of fat. Liposuction is used only to remove small pockets of fat that affect the slim-lined results of the tuck.

Double board certified plastic surgeon Atlanta, Dr. Bauer has the experience and talent to visualize the final results while evaluating each patient. Before a tummy tuck, Atlanta patients benefit from a thorough consultation with Dr. Bauer where he determines the need for a mini tuck, a standard type abdominplasty, or in some cases a more extensive abdominoplasty (required for gastric bypass patients), as well as the need for liposuction. He also makes sure that the patient is aware of all the risks and that she or he has realistic expectations going into the procedure.

Through continuing medical education, Dr. Bauer stays on the lookout for innovative techniques to make the tummy tuck Atlanta and other procedures the best possible choice for his patients. The Swan Center is dedicated to providing the most natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing results under the safest conditions possible.

Most of Dr. Bauer’s procedures are performed in the state-of-the-art Swan Center surgical suites. The Swan Center is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, which ensures quality equipment is used, staff training and appropriate safety measures are in place and that the facility is clean.
