Tummy Tuck Beverly Hills
A tummy tuck is a procedure that flattens the stomach to provide a slimmer and sleeker look. The surgery is also known as abdominoplasty. The surgeon removes any excess skin and fat from the area, and tighten the muscles in your abdominal wall. While this is different from liposuction, it can be done in conjunction with tummy tuck. This procedure can smooth out the skin on your abdomen area and also reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Because the stomach is one of the most common “problem areas” on people’s bodies, a tummy tuck is a great solution. Please schedule a consultation with us today to get the best Beverly Hills has to offer when it comes to tummy tucks!
Candidates for Tummy Tuck
There are several reasons why you may want a flatter stomach. Having a smooth and tight abdomen is something people aspire to have. If diet and exercise cannot kick the extra fat in your stomach, the procedure may be right for you. Below are some of the common reasons our patients contact us for a tummy tuck.
Body Changes
After Pregnancy can be difficult on a woman’s body, especially the stomach area. With the skin and muscles stretching to carry the baby, the stomach area can often have difficulties returning to its pre-baby look. Getting your body as close to its pre-pregnancy state helps to get you feeling confident about your body again. The doctors at Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery specialize in tummy tucks and some other procedures that can help with your post-baby body. You may also want to consider a mommy makeover.
Weight Loss
Both men and women can get a tummy tuck. For those who have stubborn excess skin around their abdomen, it’s a great option. While diet and exercise can help tone your stomach, some skin and fat are just not going to go away. For those who have had significant weight loss, a tummy tuck helps remove the excess skin.
If you are planning to have any more pregnancies, we suggest you postpone surgery. Also, if you plan on losing any more weight, we advise that you wait for surgery. The procedure is meant to be a long-term fix to any abdominal issues. A pregnancy, weight loss, or weight gain can severely impact the results. We want you to have a flat stomach that lasts, so be sure to let your surgeon know your plans as they can advise you on when to get the procedure. But this is not intended to deter you as unplanned pregnancies, and weight gain may occur. You should contact our office with any questions you may have. This can also be discussed at the consultation with one of our surgeons.

Tummy Tuck Results
The results will be evident immediately after the procedure in some ways. However, the full effect of the procedure will take several weeks. Since you will experience some swelling and bruising, it will take some time to settle and get back to normal. You will notice a narrower waist, reduction in stretch marks, and a flatter stomach. Your abdomen will be more proportioned to your body type and weight. In order to see the full effect of the procedure, rest is essential for recovery.
