Dr. Stephen Chidyllo, A New Jersey Board Certified Plastic Surgeon performs Tummy Tuck surgeries as a regular part of his cosmetic surgery practice at Central Jersey Plastic Surgery.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Full vs Mini
Abdominoplasty, known more commonly as a tummy tuck, is a major surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. Tummy Tuck can be divided into either a full abdominoplasty or a mini or lower abdominoplasty. If the region of patient concern is that portion of the abdomen from the umbilicus down to the pubic region only, then a lower or mini abdominoplasty may beconsidered. If the full abdomen, from the rib cage down to the pubic region, is the area of the patient's concern then a full tummy tuck is the more likely the surgery.
In a full tummy tuck, the skin of the abdomen is lift up through an incision in the lower pubic region. A separate incision is made around the umbilicus. All of the abdominal muscles are tightened in the mid line and the excess skin is removed and the skin closed. A new belly button is created with a full abdominoplasty after all of the excess skin is removed. For a full uncomplicated tummy tuck with liposuction, the patient usually requires at least two weeks for the initial recovery time.
In a Mini or lower abdominoplasty only the skin and muscles from the belly button down are treated. A new belly button is not created but rather pulled tighter. Liposuction of the region above the umbilicus is occasionally performed along with liposuction of the waist line. In an uncomplicated mini-tummy tuck the patient is usually back to work within 5-7 days.

Liposuction | Suction Lipctomy | Liposculpturing
Liposuction is a procedure that can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from a specific desired area, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. It cannot be over stressed that Liposuction is not a form of weight loss surgery. Dr. Stephen Chidyllo commonly utilizes liposuction in conjunction with a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) to assist in treated areas of unwanted fatty deposits.

The aging process or significant changes in body weight can leave a person with sagging upper arms and excess skin. If you want to tighten the skin of your arms, Dr. Stephen Chidyllo might consider an Arm Lift as a procedure to assist you in these goals.
Body Contouring After Major Weight Loss

Breast Reduction for Men | Gynecomastia Surgery
For men who feel self-conscious about excess breast tissue, breast-reduction surgery can help. The procedure removes fat and or glandular tissue from the chest area, and in extreme cases removes excess skin, resulting in a chest that is flatter, firmer, and better contoured. This surgical procedure for the treatment of male gynecomastia is commonly performed as a same day surgery under anesthesia. It is usually performed utilizing a combination of ultrasonic liposuction along with the surgical excison of breast tissue and skin if necessary.
