Newport Beach Tummy Tuck

Many people who carry excess weight and fat in their abdominal area benefit from tummy tuck surgery, more formally known as abdominoplasty. A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure intended to flatten an abdomen that protrudes, and leave the patient with a tighter, more fit abdominal appearance.

The tummy tuck incision is usually placed low on the abdomen, where it will be easily covered in its scar form. Excess fat, tissue and skin are removed from the area and the abdominal muscles may be tightened. The remaining skin is then repositioned to frame the tighter, flatter abdomen.

Most Newport Beach tummy tuck patients wait about 2-4 weeks after their surgery before returning to work, and usually about 4-6 weeks after surgery before attempting any strenuous activities. As is the case with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks associated with a tummy tuck that patients should be aware of. Be sure to discuss these in depth with your doctor during the consultation.
