Hollywood, Florida (FL) Liposuction, Abdominoplasty & Tummy Tuck by
Bernard A. Shuster, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Dr. Bernard Shuster Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Plastic surgeon Dr. Bernard Shuster of Hollywood, FL strongly believes that knowledge is the first step in making any informed decision and a decision to have plastic surgery is a very personal one. His goal is to help you understand how liposuction, tummy tuck or other body contouring procedures can do for you. It is important for you to understand when one procedure might be more appropriate than another. For example, liposuction is a surgical procedure performed to contour and sculpt various areas of the body by removing unwanted fat. Liposuction is well suited for women and men who are of relatively normal weight but have isolated pockets of fat that cause certain areas of their body to appear disproportionate. Liposuction is a specialty of Dr. Shuster's. He has written on the subject and lectured to other plastic surgeons at national and local meetings on this topic. He places an emphasis on safety and quality while achieving optimum results for his patients.

An abdominoplasty, or "tummy tuck," is used for a quite different purpose. It is a surgical procedure which smooths, or flattens, the abdominal area. Often, this is accomplished by removing excess skin and fat from the lower and middle portions of the abdomen and tightening the abdominal muscles. As not all abdomens are alike, Dr. Shuster specializes in tailoring the procedure to the particular needs of his patients. For some patients, who just have laxity of the lower abdomen, a partial or Mini-Abdominoplasty may be all that is required. For others, who have a wider area of laxity, or more loose skin, a full abdominoplasty may be a better choice. An abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) allows Dr. Shuster to remove redundant or lax skin and at the same time tighten the underlying abdominal muscles rejuvenating the appearance of the abdomen.

To help determine if you are an appropriate candidate for liposuction or tummy tuck, ask Dr. Shuster for a consultation. He consults in his Hollywood, FL office which is convenient to both Miami and Ft. Lauderdale. He is also one of the few plastic surgeons who will host a virtual consultation for out of town patients.
