Tummy Tuck San Diego (Abdominoplasty)

 san diego tummy tuck
San Diego Tummy tucks are one of the most beneficial procedures a woman can have performed to reclaim their body, create an hour glass figure, and enhance their self-confidence after they have finished having children. We are passionate about helping mommies rediscover the body they sacrificed for the selfless act of giving birth to children and building a family. We perform several cutting edge techniques that make the beautiful end result and the recovery process first class. Some of the details to our gorgeous abdominoplasty technique include our DESIGNER natural-appearing belly button, contouring of the abdominal flap and flanks for a smooth result and cinched waistline, and the use of progressive tension sutures that identify the abdominal muscles and allow for a DRAIN FREE and TENSION free closure. We also use a controlled release pain medication injected at the time of surgery that makes recovery much less painful. We then finish the incision with a special surgical dressing that helps to minimize scar formation.

Do I need a tummy tuck?

tummy tuck san diegoIf you answer “yes” to any of the following questions, a tummy tuck may be right for you:

  • Are diet and exercise unable to achieve the abdominal appearance you desire?
  • Do you have excess fat and hanging skin following weight loss or pregnancy?
  • Does your abdomen have a loss of skin elasticity or diastasis recti (stretched or separated abdominal muscles) due to pregnancy or aging?
  • Do you want to remove unsightly skin and fat deposits, as well as properly align your abdominal muscles, to produce a more flattering appearance?

How can a tummy tuck help?

Tighten Abdominal Muscles

*Pregnancy, natural aging, and weight gain can cause the abdominal muscles to become stretched and separated. These loose muscles often cause the abdomen to permanently protrude from the body, and it is next to impossible to completely repair these muscles through exercise. After the skin and underlying tissues are separated from the abdominal wall, your abdominal muscles are tightened to improve definition and shape in the midsection.

Remove Stretch Marks

Weight gain and pregnancy are nearly always accompanied by stretch marks as the skin expands. Stretch marks that appear on the skin of the lower abdomen are eliminated as this excess skin is removed.

Eliminate Stubborn Fat

Patients who have achieved a healthy weight are often left with areas of fat deposits that are difficult to eliminate through diet and exercise alone. Liposuction can be performed during the tummy tuck La Jolla procedure to remove this stubborn fat and produce a more slender midsection.

Improved Confidence

Sagging skin, excess fat, and weak muscles in the abdominal region can cause embarrassment and detract from a person’s self-confidence. Tummy tuck surgery eliminates these problems to produce a flatter and more attractive abdominal area that you won’t be afraid to show off.

Tummy Tuck FAQ

Q. How long do the results of a tummy tuck last?

A. *The results of a tummy tuck are generally permanent and will last as long as you maintain a healthy weight and do not have a future pregnancy.

Q. How much does a tummy tuck cost?

A. The exact cost of a tummy tuck procedure will depend on the severity of your condition and several other factors. During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate you and your desires to help determine the cost of your procedure.

Q. Is a tummy tuck covered by insurance?

A. Health insurance companies usually do not cover the cost of a tummy tuck if it is undergone solely for cosmetic purposes. However, your surgeon will physically examine you to determine if there is any medical reason, such as a hernia, that may qualify you for insurance coverage. You may wish to contact your health insurance provider to learn the details of your coverage.

Q. Will scarring exist?

A. *The incision for tummy tuck surgery is strategically placed along the lower abdomen so that the resulting scar can easily be hidden beneath undergarments and bathing suits. Your scar will continue to improve and fade over time, and protecting it from the sun will help prevent it from darkening.
