Tummy Tuck Laguna Beach, CA | Daniel C. Mills, MD, FACS

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery in Laguna Beach

Tummy tuck surgery addresses three primary concerns: excess midsection fat, loose skin, and compromised abdominal muscle integrity. Often resulting from pregnancy, significant weight loss, or genetics, these issues can persist despite diet and exercise. At Aesthetic Plastic Surgical Institute, Dr. Mills can enhance abdominal contours and restore a firmer, flatter appearance.

Tummy Tuck Procedure Overview

• Removes excess abdominal skin and fat
• Tightens underlying abdominal muscles
• Creates a more sculpted midsection
• Typically combined with liposuction for optimal results

Mini-Abdominoplasty

Ideal for patients with excess skin below the belly button, often beneficial for those with hysterectomy or C-section scars.
