A tummy tuck, also referred to as “Abdominoplasty” is a surgical procedure designed to flatten the abdomen by removing excess skin. We baby boomers often find ourselves with excess skin and fat around the belly. A tummy tuck addresses this unsightly problem equally well for both women and men.

In a full tummy tuck, a surgeon will most often make a long incision across the hipbone directly above the pubic area, with a second incision to free the navel from surrounding tissue. The surgeon will then separate the skin from the abdominal wall up to the ribs, lifting a large skin flap to reveal the vertical muscles in the abdomen. The doctor will then tighten the muscles by pulling them close together and stitching them into their new position.

We have found that many patients qualify for a “minimum” or mini-tummy tuck, if most of their fat is carried below their navel. This is considered a less complex procedure.

Either a complete or Beverly Hills tummy tuck will dramatically reduce the unwanted appearance of a protruding abdomen. The procedures are usually outpatient in nature; dependent upon individual circumstances and the extent of surgery. During the procedure local anesthesia is administered.
