A tummy tuck removes the hanging skin and fat from the abdomen that often follows pregnancy and significant weight loss. When performing this procedure in Miami, the experts at Flores Plastic Surgery can often use a simultaneous muscle repair to achieve a smoother, more athletic abdominal profile. While a tummy tuck is more commonly seen as cosmetic plastic surgery, several studies have shown that some individuals, especially massive weight loss patients, have experienced improved quality of life and body functions. After all, hanging skin (medically referred to as pannus) is tied to non-healing skin irritation, odor, and even back pain. Below is the list of lesser-known benefits of abdominoplasty in Miami.
Improved Posture
A tummy tuck typically incorporates muscle repair in which the muscles are tightened using specialized techniques. The goal is to preserve its original side-by-side configuration, which is the key to a strong muscle core. And with a strong muscle core, it is easier to maintain good posture, which has many other benefits.
Stronger Motivation to Keep a Healthy Weight
Several studies have shown that bariatric patients who had a tummy tuck were more successful in keeping a healthy weight than their counterparts who skipped this body contouring surgery. Some researchers have suggested that the physical transformation could serve as a strong motivation for these patients to lead a healthier life.
Improved Satiety
A 2013 study has shown that post-obesity patients who have had a tummy tuck were more successful in maintaining their healthy weight than their counterparts who did not undergo surgery. The researchers have tied the long-term weight loss to the increased satiety.
Ease Incontinence
Weak or splayed abdominal muscles sometimes leads to stress urinary incontinence. Fortunately, a tummy tuck in Miami traditionally involves muscle repair, which can provide additional strength and support.
A Tummy Tuck in Miami Can Improve Your Quality of Life
A 2012 study involving 360 patients has shown that after a tummy tuck (with or without liposuction), the vast majority of them experienced improved quality of life, body image, and self-esteem. The same study has also shown a 98 percent patient satisfaction rate.

Dr Flores

Category: reviewsI went to Dr Jaime Flores looking for a second opinion after a long journey of Six surgeries and a questionable medical management.He healed an open wound I had and set me on the wright path for a complete recovery.He performed a DIEP Flap to reconstruct my right breast with excellent results and a fraction of the pain and limitations I had to deal with in my previous surgeries.His confidence, expertise, professionalism,compassion and wonderful bedside manners make Dr Flores the best surgeon I could ask for. I wish I had met him before.All the stars for Dr Flores and his excellent team.My endlessly gratitude for this exceptional Doctor and marvelous human being.
Couldn't be HAPPIER - LOWER BODY LIFT AND BREAST LIFT W/O IMPLANTS
by BARBARA M.
Category: reviewsI was referred to Dr. Flores by another plastic surgeon who is amazing. However, he was honest enough to say that what I needed was best being done by Dr. Flores as he was the best in what I needed. I thought what I needed what a tummy tuck and in fact he told me I needed a lower body lift. Therefore, I went ahead scheduled the appointment and the day of my appointment I was a little concerned as I had never met. I finally met him and his staff and let me tell you he's AMAZING!!! Answers all your concerns with such patience and shows so much caring! I didn't hesitate to schedule my surgery. Results could not be any better and would not hesitate to refer him to my friends as he's truly an artist. His office team are great! If I could give me 100 STARS i would not hesitate.
Forever grateful to Dr Flores and his amazing staff!

Category: reviewsThere are not enough stars on this review for me to show my appreciation for Dr. Flores and his amazing staff! I have been his patient since 2014, when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer. He is an amazing person, and the best plastic surgeon! After having my double mastectomy, Dr. Flores did an amazing job with my reconstruction. After having a recurrence with cancer, he has been by my side every step of the way, and making sure all my needs were met. I am beyond happy with my breast reconstruction and hands down can say that Dr Flores and his wonderful staff have been a beacon of hope for me. He is by far the BEST plastic surgeon in Miami, and I will recommend him and his practice hands down every time !! Thank you for all you have down for me, I am forever grateful!
Outstanding Physician

Category: reviewsGoing through breast cancer is a difficult and, in my case, lengthy journey. I have seen many doctors. My experience with Dr. Flores and his staff has been absolutely wonderful. He inspires confidence and has a calm, professional demeanor. Most importantly, his skill level is top-notch. I'm so grateful for the care I have received, and would highly recommend Flores Plastic Surgery to anyone!
