Abdominoplasty in Beverly Hills, CA | Dr. Suzanne Trott

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Persistent lower abdominal wall concerns like poochiness, overhanging skin, and stretch marks can impact body confidence. Traditional exercises cannot address these deep tissue changes caused by aging and childbearing. Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, remains the most effective surgical solution for tightening abdominal muscles and removing redundant skin.

Tummy Tuck Procedure Types

Full Abdominoplasty

Dr. Suzanne Trott specializes in comprehensive tummy tuck procedures that address multiple abdominal concerns. The Lockwood "High Lateral Tension" Abdominoplasty technique provides extensive muscle tightening and skin removal for dramatic body contouring results.

Mini-Tummy Tuck

Ideal for patients with minimal skin laxity, the mini-abdominoplasty offers a less invasive approach. This technique focuses on smoothing lower abdominal skin with a shorter incision and reduced recovery time.

Ideal Candidates

Optimal tummy tuck candidates include individuals who:

• Maintain a stable, healthy body weight
• Experience excessive abdominal skin laxity
• Have weakened or stretched abdominal muscles
• Are non-smokers in good overall health

Surgical Approach

Dr. Trott strategically places incisions to minimize visible scarring, ensuring they remain concealed by underwear or swimwear. The procedure involves muscle repair, skin removal, and potential liposculpture to achieve comprehensive body contouring.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can anticipate initial swelling and bruising lasting several weeks. Dr. Trott utilizes advanced techniques like the On Q™ pain pump to enhance patient comfort and expedite recovery. Follow-up appointments will monitor healing progress and surgical outcomes.

Potential Benefits

A tummy tuck can provide transformative results, including:

• Restored abdominal muscle integrity
• Reduced skin redundancy
• Enhanced body contour
• Improved self-confidence
