Dr. Marvin Shienbaum is a highly acclaimed and double board-certified plastic surgeon and body contouring specialist serving the Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, and Lakeland, Florida areas. He has revolutionized his traditional tummy tuck procedure with a signature Hourglass technique which combines a tummy tuck with liposuction and a Brazilian butt lift to create the perfect 360-degree hourglass figure. Brandon Plastic Surgery is 45 minutes from Lakeland, 15 minutes from Riverview, and 48 minutes from Bradenton.
Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, removes excess fat and skin and, in most cases, restores weakened or separated muscles creating an abdominal profile that is smoother and firmer. A tummy tuck results in a firmer, flatter abdomen that is in proportion to the rest of your body and curves.
Dr. Shienbaum performs a standard tummy tuck as well as a unique combination procedure that utilizes both a tummy tuck and liposuction to achieve a longer-lasting and more dramatic result.
The Hourglass Tummy Tuck provides a stunning curvaceous body silhouette by combining three procedures into one: Tummy Tuck, LipoSculpture, and Brazilian Butt Lift. This has become Dr. Shienbaum’s Signature procedure at Brandon Plastic Surgery.

Liposuction is a wonderful tool for removing fat in areas of the body with tight skin, such as the hips and flanks. However, stomach skin has often lost its elasticity because of age, weight gain, or pregnancy. If you only remove the fat with liposuction, the skin will not retract and will hang. In contrast, abdominoplasty removes not just the fat, but also the extra skin while tightening up loose abdominal muscles.
Two often-requested concerns people want to be addressed through cosmetic surgery are stretch marks and umbilical hernia, or a protruding bulge in the middle of the abdomen. Stretch marks are treated hormonally while the protruding belly results from distension of the abdominal wall and separation of the adjoining musculature. Both cannot be solved with exercise. A full tummy tuck addresses each concern for women in Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, and Lakeland, Florida.
The dramatic results are obtained by first liposculpting the torso and removing excess fat from the waist, hips, flanks, thighs, and back areas. Special attention is given to any existing saddlebag, muffin top, back roll, love handles, or tummy pooch. This fat is then carefully prepared for natural fat transfer. Often there is sufficient fat saved to fill empty facial features including collapsed cheekbones, hollowed-out eyes, sunken temples, fallen eyebrows, and thinned lips. This additional fat may be also used for breast enlargement in lieu of silicone implants.
The Tummy Tuck is then performed to flatten and shape the waist. A corset-type muscle cinching using sutures is utilized to obtain a narrow waistline. Additional fat is then removed by incorporating Lipo-Abdominoplasty contouring. The skin is then tightened and the belly button is relocated to a natural-looking position.
The fat from both the initial Liposculpture and the later Lipo-Abdominoplasty are then used for a Brazilain butt lift enhancement. Almost all the fat from both the combined procedures is frequently needed to create the ideal butt contours needed for Dr. Shienbaum’s Signature hourglass appearance.
Not all plastic surgeons use the same ideal techniques that Dr. Shienbaum does for their cosmetic surgery procedures, including tummy tuck revision. This means that in some cases, patients end up with sub-par results from their surgery that Dr. Shienbaum can correct, helping to achieve their desired goal. Ask about revision surgery if you’ve had a previous tummy tuck during your tummy tuck consultation with Dr. Shienbaum.
The remarkable appearance of the Hourglass Tummy Tuck procedure is instantly apparent in Dr. Shienbaum’s before and after photos. Patients throughout the Tampa Bay area enthusiastically agree that this is what real body sculpting was meant to be.
This level of body shaping is possible because the excess belly fat is saved and immediately utilized for butt enhancement. All too often this versatile abdominal fat is thrown away in traditional tummy tuck surgery. Once discarded, this highly desirable fat is forever lost to those seeking a Brazilian butt lift enhancement.
Dr. Shienbaum performs his Signature Hourglass Tummy Tuck in a hospital setting. The combined procedure that takes several hours is not suitable for outpatient office surgery. Florida statute limits the amount of fat that can safely be removed in any combined procedures in an office surgical facility to 1000c. This amount of fat is insufficient to achieve adequate results.
Dr. Shienbaum will typically remove several thousand cc’s of fat when performing his Signature Hourglass Tummy Tuck procedure. This revolutionizes the appearance of patients’ areas of concerns, creating a fully contoured waist, hips, and buttocks.
For decades Dr. Shienbaum has worked continuously with his Hospital Anesthesiologists, Anesthetists, and nursing staff to develop a safe, comforting, and satisfying experience for his patients. Your welfare and safety have always been his primary concern. Each patient is individually evaluated and carefully screened for surgery before being committed to a date for the procedure.
Although his Hourglass Tummy Tuck patients see an immediate and notable change, Dr. Shienbaum advises that this is only the first step of their journey. In order to maintain and improve their new appearance, he encourages a total commitment to exercise, diet, and lifestyle change. Often the surgical results are motivation enough to maintain a lifetime of personal pride in one’s appearance.
