Tummy Tuck Can Restore Your Core After Diastasis Recti

April 10, 2024

Many women struggle with abdominal muscle separation after pregnancy and childbirth. This common concern is called diastasis recti and happens when the abdominal muscles stretch, weaken, and separate to accommodate a growing belly, leaving women with a protruding pooch.

March 24, 2024

Advanced technologies and surgical techniques have added new liposuction options for patients to remove stubborn fat permanently. Dr. Stephen M.

Once the area is numbed, Dr. Miller inserts a small, hollow tube (cannula) through a small incision. The cannulaRead Full Post
