Pasadena Abdominoplasty

Across the U.S., including Pasadena, abdominoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed. While fat may be reduced through diet, the problems of loose skin or relaxed abdominal 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 procedure.

Full or Traditional Tummy Tuck Surgery

With the traditional Pasadena abdominoplasty, the abdominal skin is pulled so far downward that it is necessary to reposition the belly button to keep it centrally located. This results in a circular scar around the belly button and a dramatic improvement in abdominal contour. The traditional tummy tuck is the most effective solution for the majority of people.

For patients who require less skin excision, it may be possible to "float" the belly button. This means that the belly button will remain attached to the skin and will be pulled downward with the skin. The belly button, however, is not moved so far as to require a circular incision for repositioning. It is also possible to tighten the muscles of the upper and lower abdomen with this procedure. Floating the belly button may result in significantly improved abdominal contour, but the results are not as dramatic as with the traditional tummy tuck.
