Drain-Less Abdominoplasty
Dr. Kornstein Provides Four Types Of Abdominoplasty
Short Scar Abdominal Skin Tightening, Fat Removal and Muscle Tightening
Full Abdominoplasty
Where all the skin between the umbilicus (“belly button”) and the pubis is removed and a new opening for the umbilicus must be recreated. This is one of the most important aspects of a cosmetic abdominoplasty as an obvious or unnatural umbilicus is an obvious giveaway that the operation was performed.
Umbilical Float
Where excess skin is predominantly in the lower abdomen; muscle tightening, if necessary, can be performed. The umbilicus is detached from the abdominal wall giving access for muscle repair and is then reattached so there is no scar around the umbilicus. This procedure results in an abdominoplasty with no scars.
Reverse Abdominoplasty
Chosen when excess skin is mostly in the upper abdomen, the scar is placed in the fold beneath pendulous breasts. This has been largely replaced by J- Plasma®/Renuvion®, but is still required when muscle tightening is required or the amount of excess skin is too great.

Single Procedure Total Body Surgery
- One body area influences the aesthetic appearance of an adjacent area.
- Skin tightening is more effective when adjacent body parts all participate in reducing skin excess and improving elasticity
- Aesthetics and anti-aging are superior when body regions and not body areas are treated
- Operative procedures require time intensive preparation including a pre surgical visit to your doctor, time to purchase medicines and supplies, post operative recovery time and, of course, presurgical anxiety.
- When your procedure is safely, optimally and comfortably performed in one surgical session time out of our busy lives and expense (anesthesia, operating room and lost income) is reduced.
- It is for these reasons that I will often recommend a more globally minded approach; years of experience have shown that in my hands it is safe, comfortable for the patient and the finished aesthetic regions look better, skin shrinks better and ages better.
- Of course, there are exceptions where the aesthetic outcome of one area will influence the aesthetic decisions to be made in another body region
- Lipoplasty, skin tightening and rejuvenation with J-Plasma/Renuvion® and Profound®, fat grafting, breast surgery, rhinoplasty and abdominoplasty are often combined when safe and appropriate for the betterment of the patient.
