Abdominoplasty in Pasadena, CA | Dr Nima Plastic Surgery

Understanding Tummy Tuck Procedures

Diet and exercise are often insufficient to strengthen and flatten the abdomen, especially after pregnancy or significant weight changes. Tummy tuck surgery offers a comprehensive solution for patients experiencing loose, sagging midsections that resist traditional fitness approaches.

Candidacy for Abdominoplasty

Ideal candidates for tummy tuck surgery include individuals who:

• Are in good general health
• Are non-smokers
• Have realistic surgical expectations
• Are not planning future pregnancies
• Are not anticipating significant weight loss

Surgical Technique

Dr. Nima performs tummy tuck procedures with precision, making a horizontal incision between the pubic hairline and belly button. The technique involves lifting the skin, repairing weakened abdominal muscles, and trimming excess skin to create a more contoured appearance.

Procedure Benefits

• Shapes and defines stomach contours
• Narrows the waistline
• Repairs rectus diastasis
• Eliminates excess abdominal fat and skin
• Strengthens core muscle structure
• Improves clothing fit
• Enhances self-confidence

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial tenderness and will be required to wear a compression garment for approximately six weeks. Most individuals can resume normal activities within two to three weeks, with full results becoming apparent over several months.

Procedure Options

Dr. Nima offers both standard and mini tummy tuck procedures, tailored to individual patient needs. A mini tummy tuck focuses on the lower abdomen and typically involves a shorter recovery period.

Complementary Procedures

Abdominoplasty can be combined with other body contouring procedures like liposuction or breast surgery as part of a comprehensive mommy makeover.
