This 35 year old Long Island resident, the mother of 3 children, came to my office for help with her abdomen.  Her obstetrician referred her.  She wanted a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to help with all of her excess skin which resulted from gaining about 50 pounds with each pregnancy.

On examination she showed lots of extra hanging skin, as well as weakness of the abdominal wall from the weight gain.  She needed a full abdominoplasty to remove all of the extra skin and stayed overnight in our office surgery recovery room with a private duty nurse. 

Now 8 months after surgery she can wear clothes comfortably, not having to "hide" the extra skin she was carrying.  We were both suprised to look at her pre-operative photos:  we had both forgotten how much excess skin she had been carrying.  When a patient's new form is in proportion to their overall figure, the new form becomes the new "normal."

To learn more about tummy tucks on Long Island, give us a call at 631-424-3600.  Plan to visit our plastic surgery office on East Main Street in Huntington soon.
