    Plastic Surgery Tip:

    Chicago Abdominoplasty Surgery!

    A flat and well toned abdomen is something many of us strive for through exercise and weight control. Regardless of effort, sometimes these methods cannot adequately achieve our goals. If you desire a tighter, flatter abdomen, then a tummy tuck may be appropriate for you. In general, a tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin, and in some cases restores weakened or separated muscles. This creates and abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer, often enhancing your body image, confidence and self esteem.

    Make sure you chose a board certified plastic surgeon. A call to the American Society of Plasic Surgeons or ASPS at 1-888-4-PLASTIC (ie. 1-888-475-2784) can tell you which doctors are legitimate plastic surgeons with outstanding qualifications. You can also visit the ASPS web site at www.plasticsurgery.org. The ASPS is the only one of the 24 boards approved by the American Board of Medical Specialties that certifies physicians in plastic surgery of the face and all areas of the body. When considering a cosmetic surgeon, you should also make sure your surgeon is a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS). A call to ASAPS (1-888-272-7711) or visiting the ASAPS website ( www.plasticsurgery.org) can help you verify your plastic surgeons membership.
