Understanding Abdominoplasty in San Diego

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fatty tissue from the abdominal area. Performed in the La Jolla office under general anesthesia, this procedure typically takes approximately three hours and restores a firmer, more youthful abdominal contour.

Who Benefits from Tummy Tuck Surgery?

Ideal candidates for abdominoplasty include:

  • Women with post-pregnancy loose skin and abdominal wall laxity
  • Men and women with excess abdominal skin after significant weight loss
  • Individuals seeking to tighten abdominal muscles and achieve a smoother abdomen

Comprehensive Tummy Tuck Procedure

The tummy tuck procedure involves four critical steps:

  • Anesthesia:
  • Incisions:
  • Muscle Tightening:
  • Closure:

Recovery and Results in La Jolla

Patients can expect a comprehensive recovery process with gradual improvements. Walking is encouraged early in recovery, while more strenuous activities typically resume after six weeks. Dr. Umansky provides personalized post-operative care to ensure optimal healing and results.

Procedure Combinations

Tummy tucks can be combined with various procedures such as liposuction, Brazilian Butt Lift, and breast surgeries. These combinations, often part of a "Mommy Makeover," can provide more comprehensive body transformation results.

Important Considerations

Patients should be near their ideal weight and in good health. Women planning future pregnancies are advised to postpone the procedure, as subsequent pregnancy can compromise surgical results.
