ABDOMINOPLASTY SAN DIEGO, CA | DR. LARRY H. POLLACK

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK SURGERY IN SAN DIEGO

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to
eliminate excess skin and flab on the abdomen. This transformative
surgery helps individuals achieve a firmer, more attractive midsection
when diet and exercise no longer yield desired results.

WHAT CAN A TUMMY TUCK ACHIEVE?

 	* A flatter, more toned belly
	* Firmer abdominal muscles
	* Slimmer waistline
	* Restoration of pre-pregnancy body contours
	* Improved body confidence

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR TUMMY TUCK

Suitable candidates for tummy tuck surgery typically include
nonsmokers in good overall health who:

 	* Have excess abdominal skin from pregnancy or significant weight
loss
	* Possess a persistent abdominal "pooch" unresponsive to diet and
exercise
	* Have stretched or damaged abdominal muscles
	* Experience skin laxity due to aging
	* Struggle with lower back pain from weakened abdominal muscles

TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE TYPES

FULL TUMMY TUCK

The most comprehensive abdominoplasty technique, ideal for addressing
significant muscle and skin concerns. The procedure involves creating
strategic incisions, removing excess tissue, tightening abdominal
muscles, and repositioning the belly button for optimal aesthetic
results.

MINI TUMMY TUCK

A less invasive option for patients with minimal excess skin and
limited muscle damage. This technique focuses on improving the lower
abdominal area with a smaller incision and targeted muscle tightening.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect initial results immediately after surgery, with
continued improvement as swelling subsides. Most individuals can
return to normal activities within two to three weeks, with full
results becoming apparent after six months.

COMBINING PROCEDURES

Tummy tuck surgery can be effectively combined with other body
contouring procedures like breast augmentation or liposuction, often
referred to as a Mommy Makeover.

ABDOMINOPLASTY (TUMMY TUCK) SAN DIEGO, CA | DR. RON EDELSON

UNDERSTANDING ABDOMINOPLASTY

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical
procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal
area. Patients typically seek this procedure to achieve a smoother,
flatter, and more toned abdomen that cannot be accomplished through
diet and exercise alone.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR TUMMY TUCK

Candidates for abdominoplasty are typically:

 	* Non-smokers with stable body weight
	* Individuals with excess abdominal skin from weight loss or
pregnancy
	* Patients with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The tummy tuck procedure involves a horizontal incision along the
pubic hairline. During surgery, Dr. Edelson removes excess fat, skin,
and tissue while carefully repairing and suturing abdominal muscles.
The procedure is performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia to
ensure patient comfort.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing compression garments to
support healing and reduce swelling. Patients can expect final results
to become visible several weeks after the procedure. Dr. Edelson
provides personalized post-operative instructions to ensure optimal
healing and results.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

While abdominoplasty effectively removes excess skin, it is not a
substitute for a healthy lifestyle. Future pregnancies may impact
surgical results, so patients are advised to discuss timing with their
surgeon.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE HIGHLIGHTS

 	* Precise horizontal incision technique
	* Muscle repair and skin tightening
	* Customized approach for individual patient needs

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
