DR. ZUCKERMAN’S TECHNIQUES FOR ACHIEVING THE BEST TUMMY TUCK SURGERY OUTCOMES
With years of experience, Dr. Zuckerman has developed several contributing proprietary surgical techniques to help him achieve the best tummy tuck outcomes for each patient.
The tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is one of the most transformative cosmetic surgery procedures, and the dramatic before and after results may be difficult to fathom until you see or experience them. With this procedure, Dr. Zuckerman can completely reshape a patient’s midsection removing excess skin and stubborn pads of fat due to previous pregnancies or weight loss. It is also a complex procedure from a surgical perspective, because it touches much of the anatomy of the abdomen and requires introducing tension on key abdominal tissues. Consequently, producing the best tummy tuck result for each patient requires experience and proper training, and patients should visit a board-certified plastic surgeon for this procedure, ideally one who specializes in tummy tucks as Dr. Zuckerman does.
Over the years at his practice in New York City, Dr. Zuckerman has developed several contributing intraoperative techniques that help him optimize the outcome of tummy tuck surgery. He performs the traditional full tummy tuck and “mini” tummy tuck, but in each phase of surgery, he works to ensure:
The hallmarks of the Dr. Zuckerman’s high-quality tummy tuck outcomes: a low incision, smooth abdomen, natural-looking belly button, small feminine waist, and hourglass contours.
- Trim, feminine waistline
- Smooth, hourglass contourd
- Flat, Symmetric abdomen
- Natural-looking belly button
- Minimal risk of complications
All of his tummy tuck surgeries include liposuction of the abdomen and flanks (love handles). Below, the two diagrams demonstrate the hallmarks of a high-quality tummy tuck result and how Dr. Zuckerman works to optimize each patient’s outcome. One key point to note is Dr. Zuckerman’s technique for creating a natural-looking belly button. During tummy tuck surgery, the plastic surgeon must surgically recreate the umbilicus, the belly button, because abdominal skin and tissue has been moved to a new location. The average “innie” belly button is actually not symmetric or an exact circle, and if recreated poorly during a tummy tuck, it can be identifiable as a surgical construct. Learn more about Dr. Zuckerman’s belly button technique.
Dr. Zuckerman has developed techniques for creating the optimal hourglass figure within each phase of the tummy tuck procedure including: his belly button technique, techniques to contour the abdomen via liposuction, and a technique to ensure the flattest lower abdomen possible.
If you have further questions or concerns about how Dr. Zuckerman will help you achieve the best tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) outcome, Dr. Zuckerman will address any and all with you at your initial consultation. He encourages you to bring goal photos, old photos before pregnancy or weight gain, and to create a list of questions you may have. If you are interested in combination surgeries such as mommy makeover surgery (tummy tuck combined with breast augmentation or breast lift) or a tummy tuck combined with buttock augmentation, please let our staff know at the time of scheduling.
