Newport Beach cosmetic surgeon Daniel Reichner, M.D., a double, board-certified plastic surgeon knows that pregnancy and childbirth can be very hard on a woman's stomach.

Dr. Reichner -- who is also an associate clinical professor of plastic surgery at the University of California -- says he makes a stomach flatter by:

Bringing together the stomach muscles.

Pregancy and too much internal fat can force apart the long stomach muscles that run from the ribs down to the pubis. When that happens, everything in the abdomen bulges forward into a bay window.

Removing loose skin.

Surgeons further trim the stomach by removing loose skin and surface fat. In the process, your belly button may be repositioned upwards.

Hiding the scars.

The incision for a tummy tuck runs from hip to hip. But surgeons can hide the scar in the bikini line where it is hidden by underwear and bathing suits. Over time, the scar fades.

However, a tummy tuck may not be right for you if:

• You are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant.
• You are overweight.
• You are not in good physical condition.

A tummy tuck usually requires at least a week to ten days of recuperation before you can return to your normal routine.

Once you are healed, you'll find the clock has been turned back to reveal a sleeker, new you.

Because Dr. Reichner teaches younger surgeons to perform the tummy tuck, he has mastered the procedure. At his private practice, Reichner Plastic Surgery Associates, Dr. Reichner also offers the most requested invasive plastic surgeries like liposuction, breast augmentations, facelifts, rhinoplasty, and other popular cosmetic plastic surgeries.
