Abdominoplasty in San Gabriel, CA

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) is a sophisticated cosmetic surgery designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening underlying muscles. This procedure creates a flatter, more toned abdominal profile for patients struggling with loose skin after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging.

Ideal Candidates for Abdominoplasty

• Post-pregnancy women with weakened abdominal muscles
• Individuals with significant weight loss and excess skin
• Patients experiencing age-related abdominal skin laxity

Surgical Procedure Details

The tummy tuck procedure is performed under general anesthesia, involving a strategic horizontal incision between the belly button and pubic hair. During surgery, CARA Plastic Surgery surgeons elevate loose skin, tighten abdominal muscles, and remove excess tissue to achieve a refined, contoured appearance.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients typically require approximately two weeks of recovery, during which physical activity is limited. A compression garment is worn for six weeks to support healing and maintain surgical results. Most individuals can expect a dramatically transformed abdominal contour with minimal scarring.

Potential Risks and Considerations

• Anesthesia-related complications
• Potential infection
• Scarring
• Temporary changes in skin sensation
