Abdominoplasty - Tummy Tuck - Los Angeles

Loss of elasticity of the skin of the abdominal region and laxity of the musculature may be helped by an abdominoplasty, more commonly referred to as a “Tummy Tuck”. Not a remedy for dietary indiscretion, the procedure of Abdominoplasty in Los Angeles affords relief for those suffering from overhanging abdominal skin as the result of loss of weight or multiple pregnancies.

During this surgical procedure all of the excess fat and skin from the umbilicus, or “bellybutton”, to the pubic hairline is removed. If necessary, the muscles are then brought together with multiple sutures in order to tighten the appearance of the abdomen.

Finally, the skin and fatty tissue are removed. The umbilicus is resutured to the skin in its normal anatomic location. The procedure takes about two and a half hours and is performed with the patient asleep. Patients either go home or transfer to one of our aftercare facilities following surgery.

Many patients lose additional weight as a result of the success achieved through their surgery. They are motivated to further improve their self-image.
