Tummy Tuck Orange County

Achieve a tight, flat belly with a tummy tuck

Pregnancy, weight loss, and the natural aging process can all lead to excess skin and fat on the abdomen. Not only can this excess skin cause discomfort and make finding clothing difficult, but it can also lead to lowered self-esteem. A tummy tuck in Newport Beach is a comprehensive solution to help eliminate excess fat and skin on the belly, as well as correct weakened abdominal muscles for a slimmer, tighter, flatter abdominal appearance.

Candidates for a Tummy Tuck

The best candidates for this procedure are in good physical health and have clearance from their general physician in order to have the surgery. In addition, patients must be in sound mental condition before opting to have a major cosmetic surgery procedure performed. In order to find out if this is the right procedure for you, schedule a free cosmetic consultation with qualified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Whitney Florin in Newport Beach.

Dr. Florin’s Tummy Tuck Method

A tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgery operation that addresses excess fat and skin around the abdominal region. During this procedure, the cosmetic surgeon will remove excess fat from the area as well as tighten skin lax skin and repair weakened or separated abdominal muscles. It is an ideal procedure for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight, have experienced pregnancy, or who simply want to tone their abdominal area.

There are many ways to customize this procedure. Some people opt to have a full tummy tuck performed, while others decide that the partial tummy tuck is the best choice for them. The partial tummy tuck is less invasive and carries with it less risk of complication. It also is a more affordable procedure. The partial tummy tuck is performed on a specific area of the abdomen that needs extra work.

A full tummy tuck will be performed on the entire abdominal area and provides more comprehensive results. Patients can work with Dr. Florin in order to determine which type of tummy tuck procedure is right for them. In some cases, liposuction is performed at the same time as the surgery in order to provide the patient with the most desirable results.

There is minimal scarring associated with the tummy tuck. Many people shy away from having cosmetic surgery procedures performed because they don’t want evidence of the operation left behind. However, the tummy tuck scar can be easily hidden given the fact that the incision is created in a discreet location.

What to Expect During Your Tummy Tuck Recovery

Overall, recovery from a tummy tuck may be six months or more. However, most people take about two weeks off from work, depending on the demands of the job. Any discomfort that you experience during recovery can be controlled with pain medication and bruising and swelling may also occur. You will be instructed to wear a special compression garment to help reduce this swelling, as well as support your new body contours.

Minimal physical activity should be performed during the recovery period, as this prevents complications and injury to the patient. Patients who have had a tummy tuck should return to the surgeon for several follow-up visits in order to be sure that their body is healing properly.

Your Private Consultation

During your private consultation, you will discuss the procedure, your medical history, and Dr. Florin will conduct a physical examination. If you are a good candidate for the tummy tuck procedure, Dr. Florin will then answer any questions that you may have and create an individualized treatment plan to address your aesthetic goals.
