Tummy Tuck in Boise, Idaho

For many women, the effects of pregnancy or weight fluctuations over the years have resulted in weakened abdominal wall muscles and loose extra skin. If you want a tighter, flatter abdomen, then a tummy tuck may be appropriate to achieve your goals.

The procedure removes excessive skin and fat and tightens the abdominal muscles. This procedure creates an abdominal profile that is smooth and firm. It often enhances body imaging confidence. Abdominoplasty may be combined with liposuction in the surrounding areas.

An abdominoplasty is also used in patients with excessive weight loss associated with gastric bypass procedures. The operation usually takes around two hours and can be performed as an outpatient surgery. St. Luke's Hospital has given our patients a special rate for overnight stay and we would often recommend this approach. The recent development of pain pumps that are left in place for a few days have helped to markedly reduce the post operative discomfort commonly associated with this procedure.

Dr. Sorensen and Dr. Bass have found through the years that this has been one of the most gratifying operations that they perform. Significant abdominal deformities, scarring and stretch marks are often totally eliminated. This can dramatically enhance general self esteem and appearance in clothes and bathing attire.
