SAN DIEGO TUMMY TUCK


Tummy Tucks..Taut & Terrific..or..Terrible?

Tummy Tuck Surgery (or stomach surgery) can accomplish things that you would not be able to do on your own - no matter how much diet and exercise you undertake.  You may lose weight - but neither your loose skin nor your girdle will tighten up.

There are three levels of Plastic Surgery Tummy Tucks:
Abdominoplasty - is cosmetic surgery to reshape and firm the abdomen.  It is the removal of excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen -
Dermolipectomy - is the removal of extra skin and fat and requires repositioning of the belly button.  There is no muscle tightening with this procedure.
Tumescent Tummy Tuck - or Mini Tummy Tuck - tummy tightening may be required when loose skin and muscles are the problem.

Tummy Tucks are predominately undertaken by women who have lost a lot of weight or who have had children.  There is practically nothing that pregnancy can do to the abdomen that a Tummy Tuck Procedure can't fix - including eliminating stretch marks.  However, Male Tummy Tuck is not uncommon amongst men who have also lost a lot of weight.  Tummy Tuck Results can be quite dramatic!

Tummy Tuck Recovery time varies with individuals - some recover well in less than 2 weeks - however, a full recovery can take up to six months.

Tummy Tuck Complications and Tummy Tuck Risks: be aware, that like all surgery, some possible complications may arise:  visible scaring - to have a true Scarless Tummy Tuck a second operation may be required; blood clots and infection - as with any surgery there is the risk of infection, blood clots, or reaction to anesthesia.

Tummy Tuck Prices: tummy tuck costs, like most plastic surgery, seem to vary - however the average cost  is around $2,800.00 for a mini tummy tuck - and $4,800.00 for abdominoplasty.

So..use all this Tummy Tuck Information to make an educated decision on whether or not it is right for you and ..don't forget...ensure you choose a tummy tuck surgeon who is ethical, professional and has an excellent reputation!!
