Los Angeles Tummy Tucks

Abdominoplasty is the excision of excess skin and fat with simulatneous tightening of the abdominal muscles. What does that mean?  First, it means that an abdominoplasty is a much more involved procedure than the euphamistic common name "tummy tuck" implies. Second, it means abdominoplasty is the only true way to flatten the abdomen, remove excess skin, and tighten the abdominal muscles. If you have any questions about Tummy Tuck in Los Angeles, call us at (310) 784-0644 in Torrance today or receive a certificate for consultation to meet with a physician at either of our Southern California cosmetic surgery centers.

Many people come to the office, asking for liposuction to flatten their abdomen. Little do they know that actual fat deposits are only a small player in their actual appearance. The real problem lies in excess skin, and loose muscles. Over time, after childbirth especially, the abdominal muscles lose their tension, and gravity pulls them down. The stress of the abdominal muscles against the skin causes it to stretch, giving the appearance of a "gut". As you can see, liposuction alone could not correct the problem because liposuction only removes fat. The surgeon instead needs to remove the excess skin, and tighten the muscles. Only this can give a flat stomach and give the patient the desired result.

Los Angeles Tummy Tuck After Massive Weight Loss

The tummy is a problem area for a majority of people. Slow to relinquish extra pounds, stubborn to respond to exercise, the abdominal area likes to hold on to extra weight as long as possible. If you have lost weight and reached a healthy weight for yourself and still have problems with a poochy or flabby tummy, a Tummy Tuck could be the answer for you. At our cosmetic surgery center in Torrance, Tummy Tuck can remove isolated extra skin from just the abdominal region, or it can include a Circumferential Body Lift where excess skin and tissue is removed all the way around the middle section. Circumferential Body Lifts are more common for people who have lost a massive amount of weight especially after Gastric Bypass Surgery. In these cases, belly buttons are often repositioned or recreated as well.

If you are seriously considering plastic surgery or would just like to meet with one of the doctors to discuss the procedure you are interested in, please contact us at the Torrance office at (310) 784-0644 for your complimentary consultation.
