Liposuction For Men

The cosmetic procedure developed by Dr. Matthew Schulman known as the Smooth tuck is relatively new and that it provides benefits in contouring the abdominal area in a less invasive manner. Compared to what people have accustomed to undergo through, smooth tuck is considered to be effective and of course health hazards and risk are greatly reduced. Some patients may have a notion that since this procedure is safer and uses the latest laser technologies; its corresponding cost would be higher. This notion is incorrect; in fact, this cosmetic procedure would provide patients of about $2,000 to $5,000 savings compared to liposuction, traditional abdominal tucks, etc.

There can be numerous factors affecting the cost of the smooth tuck procedure. The foremost is your location and the availability of the cosmetic surgeon who would perform the procedure. Up to now there are only a few doctors in addition to Dr. Schulman who administers smooth tuck. To cite the specific area, it is only available in New York. The relative medical experience and expertise of the doctor would come into play when it comes to pricing. Surely attaining the 100 percent positive results would be tantamount to a corresponding higher fee.

Smooth tuck costs would also entail some incidental or additional expenses outside of the doctor’s fee or the operation itself. Usual incidental costs may include anesthesia, separate liposuction charges, the medications required, hospital or clinic bills, etc. The primary factor in every smooth tuck operation is the particular abdomen or stomach area that needs to be treated or done. Doctors initially need to determine how much excess fats shall be removed.

Patients who have undergone smooth tuck are generally happy and satisfied of the $8,000 they have paid to Dr. Schulman. Let us consider Doris Gray, a patient of the said doctor, who, at 57 is very proud of her post operation results. According to Dr. Schulman “A tummy tuck is a skin operation and a muscle operation, so ideally the patients are skinny, have just loose skin and muscles that are weak from pregnancies and changes in weight. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the majority of patients. Most of my patients were coming in, and they were 20 to 30 pounds overweight like the majority of Americans. Since I’m not doing any muscle repair, the recovery is much, much quicker.”

Smooth tuck patients are back to work in one week instead of two and can resume normal activities in three weeks instead of six. Patients typically lose up to 10 pounds and two-to-three inches around the waist. The total cost, $8,000. All patients say it was worth it.
