California Abdominoplasty is one of the most popular
cosmetic procedures performed; more than 80,000 abdominoplasty procedures are performed every year.
While fat may be reduced through diet, the problems of loose skin or relaxed
muscles are typically not improved with diet and exercise alone. A mini tummy
tuck operation is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen.
Many patients will also benefit from a simultaneous tightening of the
abdominal muscles during their California abdominoplasty
surgery.
There are a range of Mini Tummy Tucks
designed to treat the spectrum of patient needs. In a consultation with our board
certified plastic surgeons in California the choice of procedure
will be made based on the your anatomic features and desired outcome. While
all abdominoplasty surgeries commonly tighten the abdominal skin,
there are two key differences between the various mini tummy tucks. The
incision lengths vary depending on the amount of skin to be excised, and the
abdominal muscles may be tightened if they have excess laxity. Before
choosing a tummytuck surgeon please look through our web pages and our gallery
of before and after abdominoplasty pictures.
