Modified abdominoplasty surgery with Dr. Roger J. Oldham involves the removal of excess fatty tissue and skin from the lower abdomen, isolating the affected area to that which lies below the naval. Ideal for both men and women, mini tummy tuck surgery is less invasive than full abdominoplasty because it does not require the naval itself to be moved. Rather, with modified abdominoplasty, Dr. Oldham makes a similar incision line is made along the pubic bone—where it is easily hidden under your underwear or bikini bottom—and skin is carefully removed, allowing access to excess fat which can then be removed with liposuction techniques. Dr. Oldham can then re-tighten the abdominal muscles of the lower abdomen which may have begun to hang loosely due to pregnancy or other factors that cause the muscles to lose support.
