This shows a full Abdominoplasty surgery performed by Dr. Art Foley in Olympia Washington. Abdominoplasty is also commonly referred to as a "Tummy Tuck." Tummy tuck is a surgical procedure also known as abdominoplasty to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. But bear in mind, it does produce a permanent scar. Visit www.DrFoley.com for more information.

Jul 26, 2008 - way to spend my tax dollars! meanwhile in iraq....

blakkandii Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Sorry but Im not spending your tax dollars. I also have to pay a small portion. I pay to have insurance (Tricare)like anyone else. Another thing. I hope you are doing well in Iraq. I have two brothers there now. one has been in the Army 19 years and the other 18. My husband was in Iraq he returned home in 2004 and retired he did 22 years. My dad did 15. I thank u as well as my family for all that u do and have done for our country. Be blessed and stay safe.Again thanks for being a brave soldier.

AntagonisticApathy Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - i'm not a soldier, i am a tax payer, not a supporter of the war, but a supporter of the troops. and as a citizen i thank you and your family for your service, however at these times i don't think it wise to flaunt your COSMETIC surgery being payed for by the military, when so many maimed soldiers have returned and have not been taken care of.

YouBetterRRRecognize Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - Hey velvetlace44, I'm glad to hear that your tummy tuck came out successfully, and that you're so happy! That's great! I heard so many scary things. Were you afraid at all, or were you like " I'm want this and I'm goin' for it!" Were you back to your normal activities within a week or so?

kkkcripblood Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - i think we dont have to have a surgery to do that. doesnt just tightend by itself like in 3 or 4 month.

cisco9x Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - I was thinking of getting my gut removed but the thought of surgery on my button- dont think so

Jul 26, 2008 - DrIf someone has hugh issues after gastric banding can you tighten the muscles on both sides as well as the front like you did in this surgeryPaul

DrFoleyinOlympia Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - The repair of the separation in the rectus muscle is the only tightening done for an abdominoplasty, thanks for your question Paul.
