Though liposuction alone can help many individuals, others may find a tummy tuck, also known as Abdominoplasty in Chicago, necessary. Patients often tell Dr. Johnson that they have dieted, jogged, done everything possible and felt there was no hope in regaining their figure.

Dr. Johnson's goal in a tummy tuck procedure is to recreate the flat, even, firm stomach and a thinner waist. As with all of his surgical procedures, Dr. Johnson tailors a tummy tuck to individual needs with a variety of techniques. A "partial" or "mini" tummy tuck can be applied in conjunction with liposculpture, though when muscles are unable to respond and are quite loose, special modifications are applied.

At the Center for Aesthetic Surgery, Dr. Johnson tightens the muscles to provide a sleeker, stronger abdominal wall and to make the waist smaller. Lower skin along the tummy is removed, doing away with the loose lax skin often compromised by stretch marks. After the procedure, you will be up in a day or two but activity may be restricted for three to four weeks while tissues firm and heal. Most of Dr. Johnson's patients will return to work within a couple of weeks.
