In many cases, the mommy makeover includes tummy tuck and breast augmentation in its most basic form. While the tummy tuck is certainly effective in its removal of tissue and correcting issues of skin laxity and abdominal wall laxity, the scar produced is often objectionable to many patients.
Dr. Kenneth Hughes, MD in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills has extensive experience and amazing successes with the Bodytite technology to avoid the longer scars associated with tummy tucks. Bodytite is also effective on other areas of the body and can be considered in place of other excisional procedures such as arm lifts, thigh lifts, butt lifts, etc.
Bodytite can be used in conjunction with liposuction to tighten the tissues of the tummy or abdomen, arms or thighs any specific area by about 40%. These types of results will not be achievable by another technology or my another surgeon. Although Bodytite will never reproduce the excisional surgical results, optimal treatment by Dr. Kenneth Hughes can produce results in skin tightening that many patients will find significant.
Mommy makeover patients may want to inquire about some of these bodytite procedures.
