Today we're going to talk about abdominoplasty, or as it is more commonly known, the tummy tuck. 

In this episode I'll give you the history of the tummy tuck. I will go over my consultation when patients come in who are interested in doing something to improve their abdominal wall, and then we'll discuss the risks and complications of tummy tuck surgery as well as the surgical technique. We'll also touch on your post-operative course and recovery. 

Hopefully by listening to this podcast, it will answer questions that might have arisen after your consultation with me in the office. 

We cover a lot of interesting ground in this episode, and answer many of the common (and uncommon) questions people have about abdominoplasty:

Why do people have tummy tuck surgery? Is it the skin? The fat? The protrusion? And how can a tummy tuck address those concerns?

What does the tummy tuck operation involve, and what is actually done during surgery?

What about complications like scarring, blood clots, and skin health?

What is recovery like? How long does recovering from a tummy tuck take?

What can you not do after an abdominoplasty?

Who is a good candidate for a tummy tuck, and who is not?

There are so many questions women have regarding breast reduction surgery, and they can feel overwhelming at first. That's why I created this episode.

What is breast reduction surgery, and why would women want to have a breast reduction? 

Do you have to pay for breast reduction yourself? 

How do we get insurance to cover breast reduction surgery? 

What surgical techniques are available for breast reduction, which one is best for you.

What are the pros and cons of each technique? 

What are the possible surgical complications? 

Who is a good candidate for breast reduction surgery?

As a plastic surgeon with over 30 years of experience, breast reduction surgery is my favorite procedure because I know that I'm making a direct and dramatic impact on someone's life by doing this operation. In plastic surgery circles, breast reduction is the most positive patient operation. In my experience, patients are just uniformly so happy that they did this operation, and they feel so much better. 

I always hear from patients, especially the older ones, "Why didn't I do this 20 years ago and take the pain and the weight off my back and my shoulders, I would have been so much happier."

I hope this episode answers a lot of your questions. I think it will be very helpful to patients who are considering breast reduction because when you come into our office and we do our first consultation, it's an awful lot of information to try and remember, and there's no way you can write it all down. And although we do provide you with consultation sheets, I don't think they're quite as informative as basically hearing me go over the entire consultation as I do in this episode. 

If you have any questions at all, please call the office or look on our website, www.DrKerner.com. I hope you enjoy this episode.

A Sizer Bra is a normal bra of the cup size that you want to fit into comfortably after your operation. This bra is used during surgery as a guide to ensure your breasts will fit comfortably into it so you get the size breasts that you want. 

I do find that lots of patients seem to be a bit confused about what a Sizer Bra is and how to find a bra of the type and form we're looking for, or are bringing in an inappropriate size. So today I'm going to talk to you about how to find a Sizer Bra and what to look for. I'd also like to give you a little of the amazing history about the brassiere.
