Tummy Tuck Newport Beach by Dr. Amy Bandy
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) in Newport Beach, CA
Understanding Abdominoplasty
Achieving a flat, youthful abdomen can be challenging. Despite rigorous exercise and diet, persistent excess skin and stretched abdominal muscles may require surgical intervention. Dr. Amy Bandy specializes in abdominoplasty procedures designed to restore abdominal contours and enhance body confidence.
Who is an Ideal Candidate?
Tummy tuck candidates typically have:
- Loose skin above the pubic region
- Stretch marks indicating lost skin elasticity
- Excess skin from pregnancy or significant weight loss
Procedure Overview
During an abdominoplasty, Dr. Bandy will:
- Remove excess skin and fatty deposits
- Tighten weakened or separated abdominal muscles
- Create a smoother, more toned abdominal profile
Surgical Details
Anesthesia and Procedure
The tummy tuck is performed under general anesthesia. The procedure duration varies depending on the complexity of the individual case and the specific technique employed.
Recovery Expectations
Recovery typically involves:
- Initial recovery period of 2-3 weeks
- Gradual return to normal activities
- Potential use of surgical drains
- Prescribed pain management
Important Considerations
Patients should understand that abdominoplasty is not a weight loss procedure. Ideal candidates are near their target weight with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.
