Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery in Los Angeles
Pregnancy, weight loss, and aging can cause loose, sagging skin and weakened abdominal muscles. A tummy tuck in Los Angeles helps patients achieve a desired stomach contour when diet and exercise have been ineffective.
What is Abdominoplasty?
Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening underlying muscles. The result is a flatter, more toned abdominal appearance.
Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck Surgery
Candidates for tummy tuck surgery typically include:
- Women with post-pregnancy abdominal changes
- Individuals experiencing significant weight loss
- Patients with weakened abdominal muscles due to aging
Surgical Procedure Details
CARA Plastic Surgery performs tummy tucks under general anesthesia. The procedure involves a horizontal incision between the belly button and pubic hair, allowing the surgeon to elevate skin, tighten muscles, and remove excess tissue.
Recovery and Expectations
Most patients require approximately two weeks of recovery time. A compression garment is typically worn for six weeks to manage swelling and support the new abdominal contour.
Potential Risks and Considerations
While Dr. David Kahng employs conservative surgical techniques, potential risks include:
- Anesthesia complications
- Infection
- Scarring
- Fluid accumulation
Combining Procedures
Tummy tuck surgery can be effectively combined with liposuction or included in a comprehensive mommy makeover, providing patients with more comprehensive body contouring results.
