What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of your abdominal area. Our team of skilled surgeons excels in removing excess skin and fat while addressing underlying muscle structure, resulting in a flat and toned aesthetic. Our commitment to employing the latest and least invasive abdominoplasty techniques ensures the best possible outcome for our valued patients.

Is a Tummy Tuck for You?

If you are dissatisfied with excess skin and stubborn fat in your abdominal region, you might be a candidate for a tummy tuck in Pasadena. Despite diet and exercise efforts, some individuals struggle to address a flabby tummy area fully.

A tummy tuck can effectively address the following concerns:

  • Lingering loose, sagging skin post significant weight loss
  • Stretched and loose skin with stretch marks following pregnancy
  • Loss of natural skin elasticity leading to stretched and sagging tummy skin
  • Separated abdominal muscles resulting in a "double tummy" appearance
  • A protruding belly

How a Tummy Tuck Works

Our team of body contouring experts stays at the forefront of advancements, ensuring the selection of the most appropriate method for your unique anatomy and desired results. Your tummy tuck in Pasadena includes customized anesthesia, prioritizing your comfort and safety within our state-of-the-art surgical suites, and adhering to strict safety protocols.

Traditional Tummy Tuck

This procedure involves a horizontal incision on the lower abdomen, repairing weakened abdominal muscles, and removing excess skin to achieve a defined waistline and a flatter appearance.

Mini Tummy Tuck

The mini tummy tuck, or partial abdominoplasty, is a less invasive procedure for minor skin and muscle laxity in the lower abdomen. It involves a smaller incision and offers a shorter recovery period.

Drainless Tummy Tuck

This modified version of the traditional tummy tuck aims to eliminate the need for post-operative drainage tubes through specialized sutures and techniques, potentially leading to a more comfortable recovery.

Extended Tummy Tuck

Combining the traditional tummy tuck with other contouring procedures, this technique addresses excess skin and fat in the abdominal region, extending to the sides and lower back, providing comprehensive body sculpting.

Fleur-de-Lis Abdominoplasty

For individuals with significant excess skin, especially after substantial weight loss, this advanced technique utilizes both vertical and horizontal incisions to address excess skin more effectively.

360 Body Lift

Also known as circumferential abdominoplasty or lower body lift, this procedure targets excess skin and fat not only in the front abdominal area but also in the sides and lower back, resulting in a more toned and contoured midsection.

Your Recovery Process

The recovery period after a tummy tuck in Pasadena can vary depending on the chosen technique. It's crucial to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions diligently. While patients typically experience swelling and discomfort during the first week, gradual improvement follows. Light activity can resume within a few weeks, but strenuous exercise may take longer. Complete recovery usually spans several months, with scar maturation continuing over time.

Firm, Smooth Results

Patients who undergo tummy tuck surgery often report renewed confidence and satisfaction with their bodies, as they immediately notice a firmer and more toned abdomen. While swelling subsides over time and scars fade, final results become increasingly evident after a few months. Maintaining improved abdominal contours necessitates a healthy lifestyle.
