A tummy tuck is what?

Los Angeles Tummy Tucks - frequently asked questions
Otherwise known as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck is a operative method intended to make the abdominal region look better. By getting rid of the extra fat and skin and reducing the muscles of the abdomen, the tummy is made flat. Usually the price of a tummy tuck is not covered by insurance, although in some situations, such as spreading of the anterior muscles or a hernia, insurance may cover a portion of the cost.

Can I have children after a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)?

FAQ's, Cosmetic Surgery,Marwan Khalifeh, Navin Singh, Chevy ...
Having a tummy tuck does not disturb a woman's internal reproductive organs. Therefore, it is possible to have children after a tummy tuck. However, the ensuing pregnancy would act to restretch the muscles, fascia, skin and fat and will therefore re-create the laxity that was present before the tummy tuck. We therefore recommend that if you are a woman planning to have more children to wait until all (planned) childbearing is completed.

About Tummy Tuck
Many surgeons will recommend that you wait until you are done having children before undertaking the tummy tuck procedure. A pregnancy may cause the muscles which were tightened during the procedure to become re-separated. Make sure to discuss your individual situation with the surgeon.

How do I know if my pet is in pain?

Frequently asked questions
Crying out/vocalization when being picked up or touched can be an indicator of pain. Although, a frightened animal may do the same. Other signs are restlessness, pacing, trembling, not willing to get up or do usual activity, panting (when it is not hot) refusal to eat or drink. These signs can also indicate that the pet has high anxiety. We suggest that in either situation you make an appointment sooner than later.

Beautifulreflections - Dr. Jesse D. Mitchell performs Califo...
If the patient complains of extra skin, an apron effect or hanging stomach they will usually be a good candidate for a tummy-tuck. Since this procedure not only deals with hanging skin but in most cases the reparation of the underlying stomach muscle, the tummy-tuck can produce a dramatic effect. As for Liposuction, this procedure is used to contour and shape the body. If a patient complains of large thighs or hips, or "inheriting shape problems" they are usually a candidate for this procedure.

Most of us suffer from back pain at one time or another. But persistent back or leg pain, possibly associated with weakness or numbness may represent a more serious condition such as a torn disc (herniated disc) or spinal stenosis -- an arthritic condition.

How will I know if my children are learning?

FAQ
Children are always learning - they just can't help it! Just like when they were babies and toddlers, you can discover what they are learning by spending time with them and observing the growth in their understanding of the world. Sometimes we question our children to find out if they remember what they learned and to reinforce that learning; but this is usually just within the context of ordinary conversations, not in the form of a test.

How will you know if my child is in pain?

FAQ?
Your child's nurse will monitor his vital signs. These include temperature, heart rate, breathing rate and blood pressure. These vital signs and your child's physical state are indicators of pain. It is uncomfortable for your child in the days following surgery, but being uncomfortable and being in pain are different things. Please let the nurse know if you feel that your child needs pain medicine. Pain medicine does not come automatically-it comes only when needed.
