Tummy Tuck Surgery (Abdominoplasty) in San Diego

In San Diego, tummy tuck surgery has become extremely popular in recent years as women look to tighten their midsections and regain their youthful figure. Many women choose to undergo abdominoplasty (the technical term for tummy tuck) after they have had children. Pregnancy can stretch the abdominal skin and weaken the muscles in the abdominal area. The tummy tuck procedure eliminates the excess skin and fat in the midsection and tightens the abdominal muscles. Like any surgical procedure, tummy tuck is not without risk. It is best to consult a San Diego area board certified plastic surgery specialist when making a decision about surgery. The surgeon should be able to answer your questions and provide before and after photos of other women for whom he has performed the procedure. He or she should also be able to explain all aspects about the surgical procedure, including any side effects. In some case, San Diego tummy tuck surgeons offer nonsurgical cosmetic procedures such as mesotherapy, microdermabrasion or laser skin resurfacing. Although it can sometimes be confused with the various types of weight loss surgery, tummy tuck is not weight loss surgery. However, some patients who undergo bariatric surgery desire a tummy tuck as a body contouring procedure after massive weight loss. The most common type of weight loss surgery is Lap Band.
