At the Chicagoland Center for Cosmetic Surgery, our goal is not merely beauty but better function and health.  For example, a tummy tuck procedure (abdominoplasty) or liposuction of the abdomen will dramatically reduce the work load of the heart, reduce blood pressure, improve excercise tolerance, improve diabetes, reduce back, hip and knee strain and reduce gastric reflux. Weight reduction surgery is not the first, or only, option we have available for our overweight patients. We offer intensive dietary counseling, prescription medication, liquid diets and monitored prescription diets. Tummy tuck surgery is an excellent way of keeping the weight off because the stomach volume is significantly reduced with this procedure. As a result, tummy tuck patients eat 20-60% less after surgery. Fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgeons  Finance Your Dreams for Just $5 per Day!
