Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck is a major surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a large or protruding abdomen and can significantly narrow the waistline. The best candidates for a tummy tuck are men or women who are bothered by a large fat deposit or loose abdominal skin that won't respond to diet or exercise. The surgery is ideal for women who have been pregnant and have stretched their abdominal muscles and skin beyond the point where they can return to normal, thereby resulting in “stretch marks.” A tummy tuck can also improve a loss of skin elasticity, which frequently occurs in overweight or obese patients. Overall, a tummy tuck can produce excellent results for patients with weakened abdominal muscles or excess skin in the abdominal region.


BeforeAfterDetails
Newport Beach, CA -  Before Tummy Tuck Newport Beach, CA -  After Tummy Tuck This patient has significant looseness of her abdominal skin and abdominal wall muscles due to multiple pregnancies. She underwent abdominoplasty that notably improved her contour.
Newport Beach, CA -  Before Tummy Tuck Newport Beach, CA -  After Tummy Tuck This patient requested correction of her prominent abdominal area. Even though her skin was only moderately loose, she had significant looseness of her deep abdominal wall. Excellent results can be achieved in abdominoplasty if careful attention is directed at repairing looseness of both the abdominal muscular wall and skin.
Newport Beach, CA -  Before Tummy Tuck Newport Beach, CA -  After Tummy Tuck This patient has significant prominence of her entire abdominal wall area, resulting from multiple pregnancies. She underwent abdominoplasty, which corrected all of the elements of her problem, such as excess skin and fat and the significant stretching of her abdominal wall musculature. The scar can be hidden within the bikini lines and generally fades quite nicely within a year.
Newport Beach, CA -  Before Tummy Tuck Newport Beach, CA -  After Tummy Tuck This patient has all of the signs of having had multiple pregnancies with significant weight gain and subsequent weight loss. She underwent abdominoplasty. If attention is directed towards correcting all of the underlying structural deformities, an excellent result can be achieved in the profile and a more defined and youthful waist is created.
Newport Beach, CA -  Before Tummy Tuck Newport Beach, CA -  After Tummy Tuck This is another view of the same patient. Note how the correction of the deep structures creates a more youthful and thinner contour, reminiscent of this patient’s pre-pregnancy athletic appearance.
Newport Beach, CA -  Before Tummy Tuck Newport Beach, CA -  After Tummy Tuck This patient has lost a significant amount of weight, which resulted in a large apron of excess skin in her abdominal area. Extended abdominoplasty markedly improved this patient’s appearance, as well as her functional ability to wear regular clothes and engage in normal physical activities.
Newport Beach, CA -  Before Tummy Tuck Newport Beach, CA -  After Tummy Tuck This patient has significant looseness of the abdominal wall muscles without a lot of excess skin. After undergoing modified abdominoplasty using relatively short incisions, the entire abdominal wall was repaired. This created a more youthful, athletic appearance without any evidence of the changes that can occur after pregnancy.
