Tummy Tuck

What is Tummy Tuck Surgery?

Tummy Tuck– One of the most common signs of aging is the development of a belly that no longer looks as “fresh” and tight as it used to due to excess skin. This is especially common with men and women that have struggled with their weight and diets, those that have given up exercising, those over the age of 40 and women that have been pregnant before suffer of abdominal skin.

With so much of a person’s self-confidence in their looks tied into the look of their stomach, it’s no wonder that San Diego tummy tucks are so common. Tummy tucks, also known as Abdominoplasty, provide an effective, widely popular cosmetic surgery solution to those that want to create a flat stomach. Those in San Diego that want to opt for a tummy tuck call Dr. Agha.

Tummy Tuck Before and After

Abdominoplasty is the name of a type of plastic surgery that is designed to create a flatter and healthier looking stomach. The actual procedure can vary depending on issues like your age, health, where the weight is, and more, but most involve the following process:

• The plastic surgeon creates an incision that is usually on the lower part of the hip.
• The plastic surgeon may make another incision, usually around the belly button.
• The skin is lifted and the muscles of the abdomen are tightened.
• The abdomen area is shaped – with liposuction, fat removal, or skin removal.
• The skin is then reattached to the body, and a compression garment may be used to keep the stomach flat.

Though all surgeries have risks, tummy tucks are considered some of the safer procedures available today because the technology and skill has evolved considerably amongst plastic surgeons. Yet you still need an experienced surgeon that understands the artistry of tummy tucks, with positive reviews from patients that have undergone their procedure.
