Not only is the outcome incredibly natural-looking, but the entire experience, from initial consultation to post-op care, was top-notch. Dr. Prucz’s expertise and attention to detail are unparalleled. Dr. Prucz’s staff is professional and caring and made the process stress free. I feel more confident than ever, and I owe it all to their remarkable skill and care. Thank you!!!”

How Dr. Prucz approaches a facelift

  • 1 Tightens the SMAS, the layer containing the muscles of facial expression — not just the skin, which gives an unnatural and temporary result.
  • 2 Separates the SMAS from the skin for a long‑lasting outcome without a swept‑back look.
  • 3 Prefers a SMASectomy over plication — more technically challenging, but it typically produces the best results for most people.
  • 4 Refines the neck with a neck lift, often using liposuction and skin tightening for further definition.

Frequently Asked Questions

North Scottsdale tummy tuck surgery FAQs

Yes. Any stretch marks and loose, hanging skin located on the lower abdomen between the belly button and the pubic line are surgically excised during a full tummy tuck. Stretch marks located on the upper abdomen will be drawn down into the lower abdomen, where they become tighter and far less noticeable.

Pregnancy and intra-abdominal pressure can stretch the midline connective tissue, causing the abdominal muscles to separate. Dr. Prucz repairs this internal separation using permanent, high-strength sutures that pull the rectus abdominis muscles back together from the ribcage down to the pubic bone, tightening the core wall like an internal corset.

Dr. Prucz meticulously positions the horizontal incision low across the pelvic region, specifically tailored to stay hidden beneath low-rise underwear and North Scottsdale country club bikini bottoms. Progressive internal tension sutures bear the wound tension, enabling the superficial skin edges to heal cleanly and fade into a faint, pale line.

Patients typically take 2 weeks off from work and standard daily obligations. Gentle walking is encouraged from day one. By week 3 to 4, light aerobic exercise can resume. Vigorous core workouts, golf swings, tennis, hiking Pinnacle Peak, and submerging in pools are safe around week 6 to 8 once internal tissue healing is solid.

Yes. Combining abdominoplasty with waist and flank liposuction is standard practice to create an hourglass transition. Adding breast enhancement (breast lift, augmentation, or reduction) as part of a Mommy Makeover allows you to restore multiple areas transformed by pregnancy under a single surgical session and recovery timeline.
