Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) San Jose, CA | Tony H. Pham, MD

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Aging, pregnancy, and significant weight loss can leave your abdomen with loose skin, stretch marks, and weakened muscles. Tummy tuck surgery, or abdominoplasty, provides a comprehensive solution to restore your abdominal contours and create a more flattering silhouette.

Procedure Overview

• Removes loose abdominal skin and stretch marks
• Tightens underlying abdominal muscles
• Performed under general anesthesia in a fully accredited surgical center
• Typically takes approximately 3 hours

Surgical Approach

During your initial consultation, Dr. Pham will carefully assess your specific anatomical needs and aesthetic goals. The choice of surgical technique and incision placement depends on the amount of skin and fat to be removed, ensuring a personalized approach to your body contouring.

What to Expect During Tummy Tuck Recovery

After surgery, patients will need assistance returning home. Pain medication and antibiotics will be prescribed to ensure comfort and minimize infection risks. A compression garment helps promote healing and provides support during the recovery process.

Post-Operative Care Guidelines

• Arrange transportation from the surgical center
• Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities
• Wear prescribed compression garment
• Attend follow-up appointments for monitoring

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck Surgery

Individuals considering tummy tuck surgery should be in good overall health, at a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. Dr. Pham provides comprehensive evaluations to determine each patient's suitability for the procedure.
