Abdominoplasty New York

Abdominoplasty patients world wide are increasingly turning to New York plastic surgeon Dr. George Beraka, who was chosen one of New York's top doctors for five years running.

Dr. Beraka is board-certified in plastic surgery and an assistant professor of surgery at Cornell University Medical School. He lists abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, as one of his surgical specialties.

Dr. Beraka does not just remove the extra skin of his tummy tuck patients; instead he uses liposuction, shapes the abdomen and makes sure the surgical scar is well-hidden in the bikini line where underwear or a bathing suit will cover it.

Dr. Beraka also knows who is right for a mini-tummy tuck, a shorter, quicker version of the abdominoplasty.

But you may not want a tummy tuck if you are:

Pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant.

A tummy tuck sews together stomach muscles that were stretched apart by pregnancy. If you become pregnant, you'll have to go through the procedure again to get the same look.

Overweight.

The doctor can perform some liposuction to get rid of excess fat, but surgeons can not liposuction the deep fat that surrounds your internal organs. However, if you have liposuction performed on the flanks ("love handles") and thighs at the same time as the tummy tuck, it will add pleasing contours to your abdominoplasty and make your waist look even better.
