Tummy Tuck in Chicago
Achieve a Flatter, Firmer Abdomen
Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure that removes extra skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles. This helps create a smoother, firmer, and more contoured midsection, restoring confidence in your appearance.
How the Procedure Works
During surgery, excess skin and fat are carefully removed, and the abdominal muscles are tightened. Each procedure is customized to the patient’s needs to ensure natural-looking results.
Who Can Benefit
- People with loose skin after pregnancy or significant weight loss
- Those with weakened or separated abdominal muscles
- Anyone seeking a firmer, more toned abdominal contour
The difference in procedures is the extent of scarring. Flaps are used during a simple lift procedure. Fat transfer is used for patients who desire a more fullness over their buttock area. During the fat transfer procedure, the removed fat is placed deeply within the muscle and in many different layers to create a smooth surface without irregularities. It is common for surgeons to perform liposuction as well to enhance the shape of the buttocks.
Fat grafting has changed buttock enhancement to be a simpler procedure, performed within 1.5 hours, with minimal pain, discomfort, and recovery time. Candidates for this surgery are usually 18 years or older and in good physical health.
BRAZILIAN BUTT LIFT PRE-OPERATION
If you are a smoker, your surgeon will strongly urge you to quit at least six weeks before your surgery as smoking can interfere with the healing process and the viability of the fat grafts. Also, medications that can increase the risk of bleeding should be stopped. As this surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia, it’s important to arrange for transportation.

The place itself is beautiful and incredibly professional looking 5. Amazing results, highly recommend Kali! Could not possibly have asked for a better experience!! Everyone was incredibly sweet and welcoming, from the people at the front desk to the nurse herself. Kali was an absolute pleasure to work with. Every time I see her she is just as happy and sweet as ever. She made me feel incredibly comfortable there. The way she spoke, it never felt like she was pushing anything on me or encouraging me to do more Botox than I wanted. Also I love that she had me do a 2-week follow-up appointment!! The last lady I went to for Botox did nothing like that, so the fact that Kali wanted to see me again to make sure everything was going alright felt really nice and it really shows just how much she cares. The time spent doing the actual injections was super fast. I think we spent more time talking about it than doing it. I was amazed by how fast the appointment flew by. But it never felt like she was rushing. She was clearly taking her time and making sure she did everything right, it’s just that she has the skills to be able to do it quickly. The place itself is beautiful! Super clean and very professional looking. Both the waiting room and the exam room were absolutely gorgeous. The exam room especially felt boujee. I’m really happy with my results!!! My forehead looks so much better now. The wrinkles are basically gone, but it’s not like my face is frozen in place. I truly got exactly what I wanted. For reference, I’m 28F (with significant sunbed tanning history in my teens) and got 30 units of Botox in my forehead/between brows.
