What should I expect from tummy tuck surgery?

The tummy tuck procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 1-3 hours on average. You will undergo surgery at our own operating facility in Los Angles, accredited by the AAAASF and outfitted with the very latest in state-of-the-art equipment and technology.

During a full tummy tuck, the doctor will create an incision stretching from hip to hip, through which he will be able to remove excess fat, skin and tissue from the abdomen. An additional incision may be made at the naval. The doctor will lift the skin off the stomach muscles in order to tighten them, using sutures to anchor them into their new position. The result is a trimmer waistline and a tighter 'six-pack.'

An alternative to a full abdominoplasty is the mini tummy tuck, which addresses the region between the belly button and the pubic bone where many people tend to manifest an undesirable protrusion. The mini tummy tuck is less invasive and has a quicker recovery time.
