Postoperative recovery is very important to Dr. Orloff. He frequently utilizes a pain pump following a tummy tuck. This continuously infuses pain medication in the surgical site making your recovery much more comfortable. Patients get up with more ease and faster. They can return to their jobs and usual activities sooner. This also cuts down on the number of pain pills patients have to take and reduces the side effects of sleepiness, nausea, and constipation.

Many women have a hard time loosing the pooch in their tummy following childbirth. Others have lost a lot of weight, but the skin around their abdomen simply will not tighten, even with exercise. Abdominoplasty, commonly referred to as a “tummy tuck” can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. Through this surgical procedure, Dr. Orloff removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen, while tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall.

Dr. Orloff also specializes in the endoscopic tuck in which a very small incision is made to tighten up the abdominal muscles. This can be a wonderful option for those patients who have developed a pooch in the tummy but don’t have significant loose skin or fat.

Another option available for consideration by Dr. Orloff is the option of performing a “mini-tummy tuck” or partial abdominoplasty, which focuses on the area below the navel only. Dr. Orloff may also suggest the possibility of abdominoplasty with liposuction in adjacent areas for maximum results.

There are many options available to correct a protruding abdomen. At your initial consultation, Dr. Orloff will discuss with you the various options available, and will make a recommendation based on your current condition and your goals and desires for the outcome of the treatment. Each treatment plan is customized to meet the specific needs of each patient.
