Tummy Tuck Surgery

Tummy tuck plastic surgery in New York with Dr. Leonard Grossman is drainless by design. He performs full, mini and endoscopic tummy tucks under IV propofol sedation with local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia, repairs the abdominal muscles, and does not require compression garments afterward. Patients shower the next day, and those of normal weight drive in about three days on average.

Fat and stem cells from the removed abdominal tissue can be purified and transferred to the breasts, buttocks or calves in the same session.
Dr. Grossman matches the operation to your abdomen. A mini tummy tuck is ideal when the abdominal wall is only minimally stretched and excess fat sits mainly below the navel. A full abdominoplasty removes more skin and tightens the entire abdominal wall, usually in two to three hours, and an endoscopic tuck tightens the muscles through a one-inch incision for patients without extra skin. Whatever the version, he uses techniques to minimize and conceal the scar, and a mini tuck needs only a shorter, low incision. The goal is a flatter, natural-looking abdomen with outstanding results that suit your proportions. Every version is drainless and done under twilight combination anesthesia, and over-the-counter medication usually handles the tightness afterward.

Tummy tuck fees vary significantly across New York and across the country, so no published figure can stand in for your quote. Dr. Grossman quotes a mini tummy tuck only after he has examined you, because the price depends on whether a mini, full or endoscopic tuck fits your abdomen, whether liposuction or fat transfer is added and how long the operation takes. You receive a transparent, detailed breakdown of costs at your consultation. Because the surgery is outpatient, there is no overnight hospital bill, and you can spread the cost with financing.
