Detroit Tummy Tuck

A specialty of board certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Michelle Hardaway, Abdominoplasty, also called a Tummy Tuck, is a procedure to remove the excess skin from the mid-section, tighten the abdominal muscles and also, occasionally remove excess fat through Liposuction, as well. There are a number of reasons people opt for an Abdominoplasty procedure. The lasting effects of pregnancy or weight loss often include excess, sagging skin which can only be removed surgically. In addition, abdominal muscles which have become loose or separated can cause the abdomen to stick out, which is why abdominoplasty generally includes a tightening of the abdominal muscles so that when the remaining skin is closed over the abdomen, it lays flat and contoured.

The scars of Abdominoplasty are often a common concern among prospective patients. Dr. Hardaway works hard to leave them as inconspicuous as possible and most can be easily hidden by underwear or swimwear.

Liposuction Helping You Be Rid of Troublesome Pockets of Fat

Liposuction is a wonderful cosmetic procedure for those who struggle to lose localized pockets of fat. We all have what we like to call “trouble areas” that fat likes to collect. These areas are usually resistant to traditional weight loss methods such as diet and exercise. Some of the most common trouble areas are the abdomen, hips, thighs, knees and upper arms. Liposuction can be used to remove these stubborn pockets of fat.

Liposuction offers patients an effective method of getting rid of pocket of fat when diet and exercise do not produce the desired results. Through tiny incisions that leave little or no scarring, Dr. Hardaway is able to remove fat giving the body better contour. Liposuction is commonly performed in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures such as abdominoplasty.
