Tummy Tuck / Abdominoplasty Surgery – Serenity Plastic Surgery
Orange County, Inland Empire, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach

After significant weight loss or pregnancy, many patients experience loose abdominal skin. Frequently, pregnancy also separates the muscles in the abdominal wall, causing stomach muscles to weaken. Because of limited elasticity of the skin, the excess skin does not tighten or resolve with traditional weight loss methods such as a healthy diet and exercise regimen. Fortunately, sagging skin on the stomach and weakened abdominal muscles can be successfully corrected with surgical intervention.

Tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery performed by our surgeon at his state-of-the-art plastic surgery Orange County / Inland Empire offices. Using sophisticated techniques, our surgeon gently removes excess abdominal skin to tighten the stomach area. In addition, he strengthens the abdominal wall to create an "internal girdle" that keeps the stomach flat and toned.

In some instances, our surgeon may recommend combining tummy tuck to eliminate excess skin and liposuction to remove stubborn fat on the stomach and flank region. This combination of cosmetic surgery procedures reshapes patients' tummies to reveal lean, toned stomachs.

Because of our surgeon's renowned surgical skills and eye for aesthetics, he has earned a reputation as a leading Orange County and Inland Empire tummy tuck surgeon.

Our surgeon may also recommend a mini tummy tuck, which is a less invasive of abdominoplasty designed to treat patients with minimal skin sagging. Mini tummy tuck is done using shorter scar and is combined with liposuction of the flanks and the area above the umbilicus (belly button),

During a tummy tuck cosmetic procedure, our surgeon extracts and tightens excess skin on the abdomen to create flatter, tighter stomachs. In full tummy tuck procedures, he also corrects for abdominal stretching by tightening abdominal muscles to create a smaller waistline. Our surgeon conceals scars by placing carefully designed incisions in areas of the body that are typically covered by swimwear or underwear lines.

In rare instances, some Orange County / Inland Empire tummy tuck patients may need to remain in a hospital overnight. Recovering from tummy tuck may require one to three weeks.
