You Won't Learn These Techniques Anywhere Else
You are going to be creating new belly buttons that leave no scars. Nobody else teaches these techniques and those who have mastered them won't share them. We will show you exactly how the scarless umbilicoplasty is done. Once you see it, you will never settle for a transposition ever again -neither will your smitten patients. The umbilicus is the centerpiece of an aesthetic abdomen and this alone will make you the most sought after abdominoplasty surgeon in your town.
You are going to be a master of muscle tightening in every direction. Loose abdominal muscles and diastasis are the main sources of the potbelly bulging that patients hate. It takes more than a handful of old-school techniques to tighten them properly in different patients. We'll show you simple multi-dimensional techniques of myofascial plication that will give you the ability to tighten them all no matter how big the case.
You are going to learn how to achieve a fully contoured abdomen when you conduct abdominoplasty. You are going to do this by learning how to integrate liposuction safely, effectively and strategically. Patients don't want a flat thick abdomen. They want a tight shaped abdomen and you're going to learn how it's done and how to keep it safe.
