Tummy tuck videos

Dr. Rodriguez explains the Lockwood dissection technique he uses during abdominoplasty procedures and why he prefers it over traditional tummy tuck dissection methods.

The Lockwood technique minimizes tissue trauma and preserves crucial blood supply. Dr. Rodriguez explains and illustrates why this tummy tuck method not only accelerates healing, but also reduces the risk of complications like wound separation and seromas as well as optimized liposuction outcomes.

After losing 110 pounds, Sue sought me out to help her achieve her goal of looking as good as she felt after the significant weight loss. She decided to have a Tummy tuck to remove excess hanging skin and fat.

Tummy tuck and Brazilian butt lift + Lipo 360 in the same operative session on a 52 year old female with a BMI of 35. I am able to perform this combination surgery despite the higher BMI in part because we use IV Sedation with a Board Certified Anesthesiologist instead of General Anesthesia.

Some patients come in almost deciding between a personal trainer and a plastic surgeon in an effort to get the flat tummy they’re after. Some have already been working with a personal trainer for years, but haven’t been able to get the results they’re really looking for. Some people will not be able to reduce the size of their abdomen to their satisfaction despite very rigorous exercise routines. These people have a separated rectus abdominis muscle and it can only be closed with surgery.

I often hear the question, “Can I have another procedure at the same time as the Brazilian butt lift?”

The answer is yes… and no, depending on the combination of procedures. The Brazilian butt lift already consists out of multiple procedures and while final results are dependent on your surgeon’s experience, skill, and technique, they’re also dependent on the patient following strict post-op guidelines.

In this video I discuss the benefits of a Belt lipectomy, or Lower body lift, and how it offers the most dramatic transformation of the mid and lower body. I also discuss typical candidates interested in the procedure and show a few before and after photos from our actual patients.

BMI, or body mass index, is a surgical risk factor considered for candidates seeking a tummy tuck, a brazilian butt lift, and several other plastic surgery procedures.

In this video, I talk about BMI and what is required to be cleared for plastic surgery.
