Tummy Tuck (abdominoplasty) San Antonio / New Braunfels
A tummy tuck is a procedure that removes excess loose skin, which occurs frequently as a result of child bearing. Sometimes, the muscle is separated because of the effect of being stretched during pregnancy. An option of this procedure is to repair the muscle separation.
How much weight should be lost before a tummy tuck surgery? San Antonio
Body contour surgery will always be safer with a better aesthetic result when a patient's weight is close to a normal BMI. Some patients are able to reduce significantly before surgery and then plateau. I have seen these patients complete their weight loss after the surgery is performed because they are motivated and they seem to get full more quickly since the abdomen is tighter. With small weight losses, usually the skin stays tight and the results are good. A major weight loss after a tummy tuck may cause loose skin.

Tummy tucks can be combined with other surgeries. San Antonio / New Braunfels
The risks of both procedures are increased. In general, I prefer not to combine gall bladder surgery with a tummy tuck. While this combination can be performed, it is important to consider the increased risks carefully.

What does art have to do with plastic surgery?
Plastic surgery is all about proportions. When skin is tightened, will it match adjacent areas that haven't been tightened? When one area is enlarged or reduced, will it match body proportions that are kept the same size? Working knowledge of proportion and balance are essential to every artist, plastic surgery being no exception.
Many plastic surgeons have a strong art background. I have extensive training in art which included a portion of my college years in which I initially planned to become a medical illustrator and investigated postgraduate studies in this field. When I decided to become premed instead, an art professor told me that I was going to become a plastic surgeon. This was during the 1970s when plastic surgery was not as publicized and popular as it is today. Back then, plastic surgery was reconstructive and the cosmetic surgery was popular among the hollywood movie set crowd.
My art professor's prediction turned out to be correct. An art background blends perfectly with a plastic surgery practice. Every patient that I encounter utilizes some form of my art training. Three dimensional evaluation, marking the patient prior to surgery, sculpting tissue and creating balance and surgical harmony all relates to artistic asthetics.
Art is so essential to my practice that I could not imagine doing surgery or planning procedures without this background.
