Portsmouth, NH - Dr. R. Brannon Claytor and Dr. Lawrence N. Gray have been invited to participate as faculty at the Aesthetic Society Annual Meeting to be held in New York City from April 11th to 16th, 2013. Drs. Claytor and Gray will be conducting a 2 hour course on “Scarpa Sparing Abdominoplasty with Concomitant Liposuction: No Drains Neededâ€. This national meeting is attended by board certified plastic surgeons from across the United States.
Abdominoplasty surgery, also known as a “tummy tuck†surgery, removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall.For the past 5 years, Dr. Gray has been performing the Brazilian Lipo-Abdominoplasty or Brazilian Tummy Tuck, which reduces fat from the entire abdomen and does not require a second operation. It is a safer operation with better results than the typical tummy tuck procedure and requires no drains. Tummy tuck surgery can quite dramatically reduce a protruding abdomen, but it will leave a curved scar across the lower front of the abdomen, sometimes from hip to hip, depending on the extent of the original problem. Often, liposuction of the hips and/or thighs can be done at the same time for a better body contour, including a flatter tummy, a thinner waist and enhanced buttocks. This advanced technique is far preferable as it requires no drains. Patients find drains to be annoying, painful and very inconvenient.
With proper diet and exercise, tummy tuck results are long lasting. Your surgeon, Dr. Gray or Dr. Claytor, will discuss the goals and expectations of your abdominoplasty surgery with you at your consultation.
