A Tummy Tuck is performed by first carefully marking the patient while they are standing. Careful pre-operative marking is essential to guiding the surgery to success. The procedure begins just above the pubis, by lifting the skin off the muscle from the pubic bone up to the bottom of the ribs. This releases the skin to allow the lower abdominal excess to be removed and the upper abdominal skin to be stretched downward to fill in the space from where the skin is removed. It also allows the surgeon, to easily visualize the stretched out, thinned or separated muscles and to tighten them. Although the procedure does require an incision, the surgeon experience and intimate understanding of the patient’s anatomy and body contours will allow the scar to be well hidden in a bikini bathing suit or even skimpy underwear. Like all procedures, Abdominoplasty does carry risks, including the risk of infection, bleeding and the risk from anestheticsm.

This includes consulting with a skilled experienced and qualified specialist, such as, Plastic Surgeon in Los Angeles Dr.Lent.
