- Medical Weight LossA tummy tuck is not a substitute for weight loss or an appropriate exercise program. Although the results of a tummy tuck are technically permanent, the positive outcome can be diminished by significant fluctuations in weight.

- Family PracticeThese partial truth statements can make a variety of training backgrounds that may not have anything to do with surgery. For example, Board Certified can be in Obstetrics and Gynecology; Ear, Nose and Throat; Dermatology; Family Practice; General Surgery or even Psychiatry. All of these "specialists" can legally do anything to a patient who is naive enough to sign a permit if the surgery is performed at their own facility. These specialists cannot get privileges to perform any service, outside of their actual training background, in a hospital operating room. So an Ear, Nose and Throat or Facial Plastic Surgeon cannot do tummy tucks or breast enlargements or any other surgery below the neck at a hospital because they are not formally trained below the neck.
