Today I want to introduce a wonderful offer you cannot get outside of Mexico!  If you want to be blown away, hit the button below to see our offer.  We will then discuss what it means....
If you clicked on the button and saw it.....yes, it's true.  Usually a $6500+ price tag reduced to $4999.  And that is all inclusive!
This means hospital charges, Dr fees, anesthesia, consultation, follow up and all.  The only other expense will be for prescription meds and a spanx for after surgery....that's it!! 
We want you to be ready for next summer...this fall!  This gives you time to heal and make up your diet and exercise story over the winter months.
Now, what is a "tummy tuck"?  As we all know, with babies, weight gains and losses, the skin and muscles of the abdomen take a beating.  This causes the formation of a pooch in the lower abdomen that does not go away with exercise.  It can also cause the formation of stretch marks that are not very attractive.  Fortunately, the stretch marks are usually limited to below the belly button, though not always.  Therefore, they can be removed.  Many people develop an "apron" of skin or skin and fat in the lower abdomen.  This happens with weight changes over the years and also with pregnancy.  
stretch marksThis picture demonstrates stretch marks and a lower abdominal scar in the mid line from a c. section or hysterectomy...definitely from pregnancy.  Liposuction alone will not correct this problem, only a tummy tuck will do.  You can also see the fatty tissue in the "love handle" area creating the dreaded muffin top in pants.  This can be corrected by liposuction.
lower abdominal apronIn this photo you see the lower abdominal apron that can form with weight gain and loss along with pregnancy.  No matter how much you exercise, it is darn near impossible to get rid of this.  Both of these pictures also show the "pooching" of the lower abdomen as the connective tissue stretches with pregnancy.
abdomen stretchmarksAn Men....just when you thought it was safe....it can happen to us too ya know.  With large weight gains and losses they can develope.  Some supplements can also cause the problem.  And men have a tendency to form love handles as a matter of genetics.

We treat this problem with the tummy tuck.  With this procedure, most of the skin below the belly button is removed taking the stretch marks and the pruned out skin with it.  The muscles are tightened back up to create as flat an abdomen as possible and the skin from the upper abdomen is stretched down to fit.  What you get is a flat abdomen with smooth skin in most cases.  Even those with stretch marks above the belly button will see marked improvement because of the stretched skin and its new and lower location on the abdomen.tummy tuck
The graphic above shows what happens in the procedure.  The incision is made low on the abdomen.  C-section scars in the lower abdomen are removed.  The belly button stalk remains in place and the skin and fat are lifted off of the connective tissue of the abdomen.  The connective tissue is tightened with stitches and the skin is pulled down.  Excess skin is then removed and the skin of the upper abdomen is pulled down and sewn to the lower abdominal skin.  A new opening is created for the belly button.  So that's the basic plan when the procedure is done.
Most people have excessive fatty tissue in the hip region as well.  When this occurs, liposuction is the key to regaining the youthful contour of the area.  Liposuction, as discussed many times, can be added to a tummy tuck with great results.  Two tiny incisions are made, the fat removed, and along with the tummy tuck...you'll look great in your suit next summer!!
