Hot Spring Trends In Atlanta: Tummy Tuck An ?Excellent Option? For Moms Prepping For Bikini Season no comments
Atlanta, GA (Vocus) April 28, 2009
For women in Atlanta, tummy tuck procedures are an excellent way to tighten and firm up the abdominal area just in time for bikini season.
With the help of a qualified plastic surgeon, Atlanta women can see dramatic results from a tummy tuck (also known as abdominoplasty) almost immediately following their procedure.
?Spring is typically the season when women realize that all of their diet and exercise efforts throughout the winter have done very little to firm up or tighten loose skin caused by the childbearing process,? says Dr. Joseph Bauer, plastic surgeon at the renowned Swan Center for Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, Georgia. ?Fortunately, in just a matter of hours, we can bring the abdominal muscles and skin back to their pre-pregnancy condition using a simple procedure known as a abdominoplasty?.
A typical Atlanta tummy tuck is achieved starting with an incision across the lower stomach. From there, a plastic surgeon will tighten and suture in place abdominal muscles that have been stretched during the childbearing process. Next, excess skin (including skin covered with stretch marks) will be removed to create the look of flat, sleek abs.
?When you think about the nature of the procedure and how we physically tighten the abdominal muscles that have been unbelievably stretched by childbirth, it?s no wonder why women can?t see results with traditional diet and exercise. Their body has experienced serious trauma and short of surgical intervention, there is very little a woman can do to get her stomach back following a few c-sections or natural childbirths,? notes Dr. Bauer.
And for women in Atlanta, tummy tuck procedures are a fast and long term way to fix the problem of loose skin or bulges once and for all. Yet while the procedure is relatively straight forward, it?s also important for a woman to realize the post-operative care required with this type of major surgery.
?Speaking as a plastic surgeon, Atlanta moms will need a decent support system in place before tummy tuck surgery,? notes Dr. Bauer. ?For the best results, a woman cannot lift anything that weighs more than a gallon of milk for at least 6-8 weeks following a tummy tuck procedure. So if there are small children at home, it would be a good idea to get babysitters and caretakers in place before scheduling a surgery date?.
Yet beyond the challenges in gathering a support system for post-operative care, a tummy tuck is clearly the fastest and easiest way to smooth and flatten the abs just in time for bikini season. In as little to six to eight weeks, a woman can be recovered, looking great and ready to show her svelte new body to the world!

My 2nd Tummy Tuck Vid, Before and After Pics of Abdominoplasty with ADDED PICS of scar 9 months on! 25 comments
Well folks, its now 9 months since I had the op. I was blown away by the amount of views my first vid got, and have had numerous requests of an update on the scar now a few months on, so here it is! Bearing in mind it still hasn’t fully faded and will only continue to improve. I am very proud of my new tum and am pleased with my decision. It did hurt a lot at the start but was bearable with morphine, and I made a speedy recovery. Just try not to laugh or sneeze for the first week!! It costed £5000 but was worth every penny. I think I will get my boobs done next
