Haute Beauty sat down with Ralph Garramone to talk about Tummy Tucks:<\/em><\/p>\n

HB: What concerns does a tummy tuck work to address?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Removal of extra or loose skin. We offer restoration of weakened or separated muscle and can improve the curvatures of the waist.<\/span><\/p>\n

HB: Walk us through the procedure.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Patients come in for an initial consultation to discuss concerns and improvements they want to see. The consultation addresses individual patient\u2019s issues and concerns. Next, a surgical plan is formulated. After the consultation, the patient is then scheduled for surgery and given a list of pre\/post-operative instructions.<\/span><\/p>\n

HB: Who is a good candidate?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Healthy patients whose lifestyle includes a balanced diet and exercise, p<\/span>atients with excess skin and muscle laxity after pregnancy, or p<\/span>atients who have recently undergone extreme weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

HB: What is recovery like from an abdominoplasty?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Recovery is unique for each patient!<\/span><\/p>\n

HB: What is the cost?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Much like recovery, surgical pricing is unique to the patient as well. Typically, a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty begins at $8,500 but could range to accommodate the patient\u2019s individual needs. Oftentimes, liposuction is used to enhance a tummy tuck in order to achieve optimal results. This is an additional treatment and will affect surgical fees.<\/span><\/p>\n
