Tummy Tuck in Tarzana, CA | AESTHETICA LA: Arezou Yaghoubian, MD, FACS

What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying abdominal muscles. This results in a firmer, flatter, and more contoured midsection.

Benefits of a Tummy Tuck

• Flattens the Abdomen: Removes excess skin and fat
• Tightens Abdominal Muscles: Repairs and strengthens weakened muscles
• Improves Body Contour: Enhances the shape of the torso
• Reduces Stretch Marks: Often removes stretch marks below the navel
• Boosts Confidence: Enhances self-esteem and body image
• Improves Posture: Strengthened muscles can reduce back pain
• Enhances Clothing Fit: Creates a smoother silhouette

Procedure Types

Complete Abdominoplasty

Dr. Yaghoubian makes an incision across the entire abdomen, lifts the skin, repairs muscles, trims excess skin, and repositions the belly button for a natural appearance.

Partial/Mini Abdominoplasty

Ideal for patients with excess fat below the belly button, involving a smaller incision and typically no belly button repositioning.

Recovery and Results

Recovery varies by individual, but most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks. Strenuous activities should be avoided for 4-6 weeks. Dr. Yaghoubian provides personalized post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing.

Am I a Candidate?

Ideal candidates are generally healthy individuals with excess abdominal skin, stubborn fat deposits, or weakened abdominal muscles. Common candidates include those who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy-related changes, or aging-related abdominal transformations.

Risks and Considerations

As with any surgical procedure, potential risks include bleeding, bruising, infection, and changes in skin sensation. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Yaghoubian will help assess individual risks and expectations.
