Understanding Abdominal Transformation Surgery

Sometimes, despite dedicated diet and exercise efforts, achieving a toned, flat abdomen remains challenging. Patients from various backgrounds can struggle with excess skin or weakened abdominal muscles, which may result from aging, natural body composition, significant weight loss, or pregnancy.

What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to address excess skin and fat in the abdominal region. The primary goal is to tighten and contour the abdomen's appearance, helping patients achieve a more refined body profile.

Surgical Process in Newport Beach

Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery performs tummy tucks under general anesthesia, typically lasting between two to five hours. The procedure involves carefully placed incisions along the lower abdomen, strategically positioned to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients require one to two weeks of rest before resuming normal activities. Surgeons recommend wearing a support garment to aid healing and help form the new abdominal contour.

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck Surgery

Optimal candidates are individuals within their ideal weight range, maintaining a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or less. Patients should have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes and understand that the procedure complements—but does not replace—healthy lifestyle practices.

Cost Considerations

Tummy tuck pricing varies based on procedure complexity and individual requirements. The average abdominoplasty in the United States costs approximately $6,154, excluding associated expenses like anesthesia and facility fees.
