Tummy tucks (also called abdominoplasty surgery) have seen a surge in popularity in recent years. And while the majority of patients undergo this procedure for cosmetic reasons, there are also several medical benefits to getting a tummy tuck as well.
The following is an outline of some of the medical benefits of this procedure.
Helps to reduce the risk of diabetes and hypertension
Although significant obesity and diabetes are relative contraindications to having tummy tuck surgery, once a person loses weight they usually still have a lot of extra hanging tissue. Removing this extra tissue has been shown to lessen insulin resistance (diabetes) […]
When you look at the back of someone, would you agree that it’s the butt that gets the most attention? It’s no wonder that part of keeping in shape involves toning your buttocks in an effort to keep them looking firm, perky and rounded. The primary muscles here are known as the gluteal, which are actually composed of three parts, dependent on how deep into the buttock you go: gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. The gluteus maximus is the largest. Whenever you do squats, for example, you’re working primarily on this muscle. The same goes for lunges, deadlifts, […]
1. Follow All Pre-Operative Instructions
The first step in ensuring a speedy labia reduction recovery is following all pre-operative instructions provided by Dr. Edelstein.

Any drug or supplement that can increase the risk of excessive bleeding during surgery (vitamin E, ginkgo biloba and omega-3 fatty acids) must also be avoided.
2. Get Proper Rest
After the labiaplasty surgery is finished, patients will be asked to stay at Edelstein Cosmetic for several hours […]

Abdominoplasty, often called a tummy tuck, is a cosmetic surgery procedure intended to tighten abdominal muscles and remove loose, excess skin. As a result, this procedure is frequently requested following childbirth as part of a ‘mommy makeover,’ or after significant weight loss, which can leave people with sagging, excess skin. In addition, some patients choose to undergo abdominoplasty to reduce skin laxity which is often a result of the natural aging process.
While a tummy tuck can be an excellent solution for individuals hoping to restore their waistline, unfortunately, in some instances, excess skin remains following the procedure. If you are […]
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a butt augmentation procedure that aims to enhance the shape and volume of the butt by injecting fat grafts from the patient into the buttocks. Since some of the fat transferred during the BBL will not survive in its new location, many patients think it is a good idea to gain additional weight before the procedure so that the transferred fat has a higher chance for survival. However, that is not the case; instead, it is advisable to maintain your weight prior to the procedure.
If you are at an ideal weight to be a […]
