Is belly button removal during a tummy tuck normal? While most patients keep their own belly button, there are two scenarios when removing the belly button during a tummy tuck, belt lipectomy, or body lift is in the patient’s best interest. Don’t worry, though. There is always an opportunity to create a new belly button — or “neoumbilicus” — using your abdominal skin. For some patients, this has several benefits. The bottom line is the bigger the skin removal surgery, the more likely the belly button will need to be addressed as part of a second procedure. For more information on this listen to Dr. Bernard Beldholm’s quick, informative podcast on the subject. https://beldholm.com.au/body-contouring/is-tummy-tuck-belly-button-removal-a-good-idea/

Deciding which breast augmentation plane will give the best results is an important decision you will have to make when considering breast implants. It depends on how much existing breast tissue you have in the upper pole of your breasts. That will help you choose the right surgical method for the best result.

Today’s podcast is all about hiding tummy tuck scars. Tummy tuck scar placement is very important for a good result. No one wants it to be obvious that they had a tummy tuck to remove loose skin.

 

Fashion trends are important on both the runway and inside the operating room. Changing swimsuit and underwear styles have definitely affected how surgeons place tummy tuck scars over the years. Since the 1990s, low-cut bottoms have been hugely popular. The French high-cut bikini was also popularized by TV shows like Baywatch. Yet in recent years, we are seeing high-rise, full coverage swimsuits come back in fashion. Cheeky bottoms have also made an appearance. With all the fashion trends that come and go, planning scar placement can be tricky.

 

Most post-pregnancy and post-weight loss patients aren’t big fans of bikinis and cheeky bottoms. Of course, personal preferences vary from patient to patient. By bringing in your preferred style of swimsuit or underwear to the consultation, Dr. Bernard Beldholm, FRACS can design a scar that is nicely hidden in the bikini line. To see pictures of popular swimsuit styles and learn which scar placement is best, check out the podcast to learn more.

Enhance your breasts naturally without breast implants, pills, creams or potions. Doctor Bernard talks about the benefits of breast fat injections, also known as breast fat grafting or breast fat transfer. You get two benefits in one! Liposuction removes extra fat anywhere on your body, then the fat is injected into the breasts for a safe and natural breast enhancement. Are you a candidate for breast fat transfer? This amazing procedure is excellent for tummy tuck patients that have loose, empty breasts after breastfeeding or weight loss. To learn more about breast fat injections, listen to Dr. Bernard Beldholm, FRACS latest podcast. https://beldholm.com.au/body-contouring/pros-and-cons-of-breast-fat-injection/

Do you need to fix a bad tummy tuck? You aren’t alone. A tummy tuck is supposed to give you a smooth, flat tummy -- but in reality, that doesn’t always happen. An inexperienced  tummy tuck surgeon might not give a good result. Perhaps you need a belly button revision because the navel looks too round, or you may want to fix a poor incision/scar. Other times, what you really needed was liposuction in addition to a tummy tuck, but the first surgery did not include lipo. Then, there are other reasons you may need a revision tummy tuck, such as having another baby, gaining then losing weight, or loss of skin elasticity as you get older. Fear not, a revision surgery with a qualified surgeon can help. A tummy tuck revision can even address loose upper abdominal skin after a mini tummy tuck. In today’s podcast, Doctor Bernard explains more about tummy tuck revision surgery.

A tummy tuck with hernia repair is a great way to solve two issues at once while giving patients a great outcome. Hernia treatment during abdominoplasty is possible because of the easy access to the abdominal cavity during a tummy tuck operation. Patients can easily remove loose skin and treat a hernia with one surgery.
