Tummy Tuck Videos

At CosmeticSurg in Baltimore, I use advanced techniques like thin cannulas to give you the best possible results with Lipo360. My approach ensures smoother contours, less recovery time, and no need for massages or drains. Most of my patients are back to their routine in just one week.

One of the reasons it’s so important that your plastic surgeon be trained in General Surgery is so that they can handle repairing the different kinds of hernias that might be discovered while performing a tummy tuck surgery. Watch as Dr. Rodriguez explains the different types of hernias that may be encountered and what happens if a hernia is found during abdominoplasty surgery.

Let’s explore the differences between regular and extended tummy tuck scars. If you’re considering a tummy tuck, understanding what to expect in terms of incision placement and the resulting scar is crucial. Watch as Dr. Rodriguez explains scar placement and the techniques he uses to minimize scars and achieve the best possible results.

In this video Dr. Rodriguez delves into the key differences between regular and extended tummy tuck scar, illustrating his points with real patient before and after photos to help guide you in choosing the right procedure for your desired goals.

Dr. Rodriguez explains the Lockwood dissection technique he uses during abdominoplasty procedures and why he prefers it over traditional tummy tuck dissection methods.

The Lockwood technique minimizes tissue trauma and preserves crucial blood supply. Dr. Rodriguez explains and illustrates why this tummy tuck method not only accelerates healing but also reduces the risk of complications like wound separation and seromas as well as optimized liposuction outcomes.

After losing 110 pounds, Sue sought me out to help her achieve her goal of looking as good as she felt after the significant weight loss. She decided to have a Tummy tuck to remove excess hanging skin and fat.

Some patients come in almost deciding between a personal trainer and a plastic surgeon to get the flat tummy they’re after. Some have already been working with a personal trainer for years, but haven’t been able to get the results they’re looking for. Some people will not be able to reduce the size of their abdomen to their satisfaction despite very rigorous exercise routines. These people have a separated rectus abdominis muscle and it can only be closed with surgery.

I often hear the question, “Can I have another procedure at the same time as the Brazilian butt lift?”

The answer is yes… and no, depending on the combination of procedures. The Brazilian butt lift already consists of multiple procedures and while final results are dependent on your surgeon’s experience, skill, and technique, they’re also dependent on the patient following strict post-op guidelines.

In this video, I discuss the benefits of a Belt lipectomy, or Lower body lift, and how it offers the most dramatic transformation of the mid and lower body. I also discuss typical candidates interested in the procedure and show a few before and after photos of our actual patients.

BMI, or body mass index, is a surgical risk factor considered for candidates seeking a tummy tuck, a Brazilian butt lift, and several other plastic surgery procedures.

In this video, I talk about BMI and what is required to be cleared for plastic surgery.
