www.drmichaelbogdan.com This informational video on tummy tucks was created by Dallas Plastic Surgeon, Michael A. Bogdan, MD, FACS. The video morphs before and after pictures of tummy tuck patients, and explains how the operation changes the body contour. I created the video after reading many repetitive questions posted on internet forums by patients considering an abdominoplasty, who were uncertain if they were a candidate for the procedure. If you wish further information on tummy tucks, please visit my website.

Dear ProverbsGal23,
Sorry, I accidentally deleted your question: will a tummy tuck help stretch marks on your obliques? The easiest way to judge the change you could receive is to look at the red highlighted regions of the videos and compare them with yourself. If the stretch mark lies outside of the red zone, it will stay, but move lower. An extended abdominoplasty will help more on the flanks, but most stretch marks to be removed will happen along a horizontal line below your umbilicus.
Thank you so much for writting back and giving ne that data on anesthesia!
The risk of anesthesia death is very low – 0.0004% and even lower if you are healthy! (Google asa 25-fold)
You are more likely to get struck by lightening (Lifetime risk 0.02% – Google national weather 1/5000). However, just as you need to know the qualifications of your surgeon, you should know the qualifications of your anesthesiologist. I use a select group of anesthesiologists, and they would be happy to speak with you to help alleviate your fears.
How do you know if ypu can handle anesthesia?
i’m a healthy 35 year old 125 pounds, but i’m scared to death of going under!
No. A standard tummy tuck does add some tension to the upper anterior thigh, so it helps with skin contour in this region. An extended tummy tuck helps the lateral thigh as well. The medial (inner) thigh requires a medial thigh lift operation.
does a tummy tuck help your inner thighs at all?
