Board certified plastic surgeon Mark A. Jabor, M.D., offers tummy tuck surgery at his Texas practice, Cosmetic Laser & Surgery Center of El Paso. This procedure is designed to remove draping skin, bulges, and stretch marks from the lower part of the abdomen, as well as tighten loose stomach muscles. Commonly, liposuction is performed in conjunction with tummy tuck surgery, which is usually on the hips, thighs, and/or back. He will also bring stretched-out muscles back together to create a slimmer midsection. Recovery time is typically six weeks, with the option of returning to sedentary activities at two weeks. Dr. Jabor implements small pumps that deliver a local anesthetic to the post-operative wounds, helping to make recovery less painful.
