What is a Tummy Tuck?

Also known as abdominoplasty, tummy tuck procedures counter the negative effects of pregnancy, significant weight loss, and stubborn fat deposits.¹ By extracting excess skin and tissue, Dr. Esmailian can create a more aesthetically appealing midsection.

What are the Benefits of Abdominoplasty?

A tummy tuck procedure provides many advantages, including a more refined and toned contour in the lower abdomen and pubic area, better aligning with patients' inner sense of vitality. Beyond cosmetic procedures, abdominoplasty can improve:

Back pain
Hernias
Bloating
Poor posture
Bulges from a C-section
A distended stomach after childbirth

Who is an Ideal Candidate For a Tummy Tuck Procedure?

Ideal candidates for a tummy tuck in Huntington Beach or Seal Beach:²

Are in good physical and mental health
Can maintain a healthy diet and a stable weight
Have realistic expectations for the results of the treatment
Are non-smokers or are willing to quit
Are unhappy about the appearance of their midsection

What does the procedure entail?

A tummy tuck surgery is designed to treat the upper and lower abdominal muscles simultaneously. Patients dealing with weakened abdominal muscles, an excess layer of skin around the belly button, or contouring issues can see significant benefits from abdominoplasty. This surgical procedure is often combined with liposuction to remove excess fat and smooth the regions above and below the belly button, enhancing body contouring across the midsection.

What is the Recovery Period Like?

While a tummy tuck procedure is often done on an outpatient basis, patients need to arrange transportation and home assistance for the initial recovery period. The total recovery time is approximately six to eight weeks,³ during which patients will wear a fitted compression garment, and postoperative drains may be used to release residual fluids. Comprehensive recovery details are provided during your consultation with Dr. Esmailian.
