New York City Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Mark Schwartz is speculating on a significant trend in the world of plastic surgery: high patient satisfaction following tummy tuck procedures. The go-to treatment for loose and sagging abdominal skin and muscles, Dr. Schwartz is seeing a substantial uptick in patient inquiries for the procedure.
"Tummy tuck surgery has long been one of the best ways to obtain a slimmer abdomen in patients who unable to achieve their goals with diet and exercise," explains Dr. Schwartz. "It works to correct the midsection affected by pregnancy, significant weight loss, as well as the natural aging process." Professionally known as "abdominoplasty," tummy tuck surgery reshapes the abdomen by removing excess fat and skin and tightening underlying muscles.
"We are seeing a remarkably high degree of patient satisfaction following the procedure", reports Dr. Schwartz, "Patients are walking away very happy." Dr. Schwartz's assertions confirm recent data found on the plastic surgery community site, RealSelf®. Encouraging its thousands of users to vote on which procedures were "worth it" for them, tummy tuck surgery earned a remarkable 95% Worth It rating, based on the most recent data available.
"As plastic surgeons, we are always looking for ways to measure and quantify patient satisfaction," explains Dr. Schwartz. "What's unique about these 'worth it' ratings is how they get to the core of patient satisfaction - how they find out if patients would 'do it again,' given the opportunity. And, when it comes to tummy tuck surgery, it seems an overwhelming majority of patients would."
When asked to speculate on the driving force behind this high degree of patient satisfaction, Dr. Schwartz offered a few suggestions. "For one, this is often done in patients who have unsuccessfully attempted other means of improving their midsection like diet and exercise. Many of these patients could do non-stop sit-ups and lose weight and not have a significant change in the appearance of their abdomen. Dr. Schwartz also explains that "Patients today understand the importance of working exclusively with a board certified plastic surgeon. While it may seem like a small consideration, when it comes to patient satisfaction, it seems that who you work with can be just as crucial as which procedure you ultimately wind up choosing."
