A master artisan in body contouring procedures, Dr. Thomas Loeb has helped hundreds of tummy tuck patients realize the sculpted, flat abs they’ve always dreamed of having. In fact, his expertise has been featured in numerous television programs and print media, which showcase the latest cosmetic surgery techniques. A leading Manhattan plastic surgeon, Dr. Loeb takes pride in helping patients achieve the toned look they desire, ultimately boosting their self-esteem.

Is a tummy tuck right for me?

Individuals who’ve lost significant amounts of weight and are left with loose, sagging skin are great candidates for abdominoplasty. Many mothers opt for tummy tuck surgery to regain their pre-baby physique, as diet and exercise alone fails to address stretch marks and extra folds of skin.

Dr. Loeb begins the abdominoplasty by making an incision in the lower stomach area, from hip to hip. The abdominal muscles are tightened and repaired, and any excess skin and fatty tissue is removed. After repositioning the naval, the skin is carefully sutured and surgical drains may be used to reduce swelling and promote faster healing. The remaining scar will fade over time and is easily concealed under clothing and swimwear.

For patients within ten percent of their ideal body weight, Dr. Loeb also performs a mini tummy tuck. A less invasive version of full abdominoplasty, this procedure treats patients with minimal lax skin in the stomach area, and involves a much shorter recovery period.

Dr. Loeb will explain any post-operative instructions, and will monitor your progress with several office visits over the following two weeks. Swelling and bruising can be expected during the healing process, which may last several weeks. Most patients can resume their normal routine within 10 to 14 days, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least six weeks. Your final results will be evident in three to four months, once all residual swelling has subsided.

In order to deliver optimum results for all of his patients, Dr. Loeb will suggest the best techniques for any area of concern. Whether you’re considering a breast lift in New York City or another aesthetic treatment, his extensive range of surgical and nonsurgical procedures includes skin rejuvenation, facial plastic surgery, and body contouring.

Dr. Loeb is regularly listed as one of New York’s “best doctors,” and his talents are sought by both celebrities and non-celebrities across the nation. His commitment to excellence is evidenced in his countless satisfied patients and reputation as one of the city’s finest plastic surgeons.
