Abdominoplasty in San Diego: Expert Tummy Tuck Surgery

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery in San Diego

Dr. Abhay Gupta, a board-certified plastic surgeon, recognizes that some individuals struggle to achieve desired abdominal contours despite diet and exercise. Factors like aging, weight loss, pregnancy, and genetics can create stubborn fat deposits and loose skin that resist traditional methods.

Who Qualifies for Tummy Tuck Surgery

• Individuals with excess abdominal skin and fat
• Patients at or near ideal body weight
• Non-smokers in good overall health
• Patients with realistic aesthetic expectations

The Abdominoplasty Procedure: What to Expect

Tummy tuck surgery typically takes between one to five hours under general anesthesia. Dr. Gupta makes strategic incisions to remove excess skin, eliminate stubborn fat, and restore weakened abdominal muscles, creating a firmer, more contoured midsection.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect two to four weeks of recovery time. Compression garments and limited activity are crucial during initial healing. Full aesthetic results may take nine to twelve months as the body completely heals.

Potential Risks and Considerations

• Potential surgical risks include bleeding and infection
• Temporary changes in abdominal sensation
• Scarring along the lower abdomen
