Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
There are many reasons why men and women choose to have an abdominoplasty, more commonly referred to as San Diego tummy tucks. If you have had any of the thoughts noted below, then you may be a good candidate.
- Since I had kids, I have excess fat and skin around my tummy that just won't go away, no matter how much I diet and exercise
- I've had gastric bypass surgery, but I'm left with unsightly, extra skin around my midsection
- I'd like to get my younger shape back and crunches just aren't doing it.
- It's uncomfortable wearing pants or skirts because I have so much excess fat and skin at my belly
- I'd feel so much better about myself with a tighter abdomen
- Is there a plastic surgeon in San Diego who would understand my needs and work with me to get my desired results?
Lucky for you, a simple San Diego tummy tuck may be your solution. It's not a permanent substitute for losing weight; it is a way to firm and smooth your abdomen. Sometimes, not even healthy diets and regular workouts can eliminate an accumulation of excess fat and loose, sagging skin in your abdominal area. Our San Diego cosmetic surgeon has your solution.
Dr. Breister Ghosh will remove the excess skin and fat from your abdomen, as well as tighten the muscles of your abdominal wall. Liposuction of the hip area is sometimes done at the same time to improve the contour. The surgery will take place in an accredited surgery center with the support of a licensed anesthesiologist.
- Surgery takes about 3 hours, and is performed as an out patient procedure under general anesthesia
- Drains are placed at the time of the procedure, and you will need to wear an abdominal binder for 4-6 weeks
- You should plan a minimum of 2-3 weeks off work
There's no need to endure the frustration of having to live with saggy skin around your tummy.
