Tummy Tuck in Los Angeles
Why consider a Los Angeles tummy tuck? Maybe you've gained a lot of weight over the years and now have a full midsection that simply will not improve. Maybe this happened with aging or following pregnancy. Or perhaps you lost a good deal of weight, either on your own or with surgery, and now have hanging skin. With the increase in weight loss surgery such as Lap Band or Gastric Bypass, we are seeing more and more people in this situation. Once the skin is over stretched to the point of stretch marks, it will not tighten again -- even with aggressive exercise. Sometimes women or men have gained or lost weight with resulting poor appearance of the abdomen.
During a tummy tuck (the medical term is abdominoplasty) steps are taken to address the excess skin and fat of the tummy. The procedure is aggressive -- it removes this skin and fat once and for all. Next, the torso is reshaped from the inside, by placing large stitches in the muscles. This creates profound and lasting changes in shape.
The waist can also be re-created to have an improved appearance by using additional stitches in the muscles beneath the skin. The belly button is stitched to the new surrounding abdominal skin. Sometimes a mini tummy tuck offers the best results. The changes are not as dramatic, but there is a shorter scar and there can be less recovery. It is important to realize that a tummy tuck is not just for celebrity plastic surgery these days. We are doing the procedure on everyone, not just movie stars. We also do the procedure on people from around the world. Let us know if you will be traveling to see us and we can help you with your planning.
