California Tummy Tuck

Having a tummy tuck in California is an operation designed to improve the appearance of an abdomen that may be overly protruding or may have excess loose skin and fat. There are variations of the standard operation including “mini-tucks” which may be of benefit to patients who require only tightening of the abdominal muscles or removal of a small amount of skin. On the other hand, patients with massive weight loss may require a more extensive operation. Who can benefit from this surgery?
• Patients who are healthy but have excess skin or fat that does not respond to diet and exercise.
• Patients who have undergone significant weight loss and have hanging skin.
• Women with loose skin and stretch marks following pregnancy.
• In older patients, loss of skin elasticity.

Dr. Mary Powers, a california tummy tuck plastic surgeon can help. Usually under general anesthesia, an incision is made across the lower part of the abdomen. A circular incision is made around the navel that stays attached to the muscle. The skin is then separated from the muscle, up toward the ribs, so that it can be pulled down like a window shade. The tummy is then “tightened” (narrowing and flattening the abdomen) by stitching the muscles together.

Mini-tummy tucks can benefit patients who have a small amount of excess skin and fat or protruding of the lower abdomen. Mini-abdominoplasty does not involve moving the navel position. Liposuction may be used alone or in conjunction with a tummy tuck to benefit selected patients.
