ABDOMINOPLASTY (TUMMY TUCK) DUBLIN, CA | ORANGE COUNTY PLASTIC
SURGERY:DR. JURIS BUNKIS

UNDERSTANDING TUMMY TUCK SURGERY

Tummy tuck surgery, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a
sophisticated cosmetic procedure designed to remove loose skin and
excess fat from the abdominal area. The procedure is recommended for
individuals close to their ideal body weight who seek to tone and
tighten their midsection.

TUMMY TUCK VS. MINI TUMMY TUCK

Orange County Plastic Surgery offers two primary abdominoplasty
approaches: full and mini tummy tucks. A full tummy tuck addresses
skin and fat both above and below the belly button, while a mini tummy
tuck targets only the area below the belly button.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR ABDOMINOPLASTY

Potential candidates for tummy tuck surgery typically exhibit the
following characteristics:

 	* Loose stomach skin resistant to diet and exercise
	* Stable body weight for at least one year
	* Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
	* Good overall physical health

TUMMY TUCK PROCEDURE DETAILS

The abdominoplasty procedure typically takes between two to three
hours. Surgeons make an incision extending from one hip bone to
another, just above the pelvic bone. The technique allows for
comprehensive abdominal contouring and muscle tightening.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

During the procedure, the surgical team will:

 	* Create a precise incision through the abdominal fascia
	* Tighten loose abdominal muscles with specialized sutures
	* Remove excess fat using targeted liposuction
	* Pull and reposition skin for a smoother contour

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

Tummy tuck recovery typically spans three to six months. Patients can
expect some initial discomfort and will need to wear a compression
bandage. Light walking is encouraged after the first week, with full
recovery requiring gradual return to normal activities.

RECOVERY RECOMMENDATIONS

 	* Use cold compresses to manage swelling
	* Avoid abdominal pressure
	* Wear loose, comfortable clothing
	* Monitor incision for proper healing

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

While tummy tuck complications are rare, patients should remain
vigilant for potential post-surgical issues such as muscle separation,
infection, or changes in abdominal sensation.

normal activities within two weeks.
