Multiple pregnancies, massive weight loss and the natural effects of aging can leave you with a stretched out stomach, loose skin or a pronounced "pooch" around your midsection. If your midsection makes you feel self-conscious, you may want to consider a body contouring procedure by Orange County tummy tuck specialist Terry J. Dubrow, M.D., F.A.C.S. located in Newport Beach. Tummy Tuck surgery can help patients attain a slimmer, better-toned abdomen in ways that diet and exercise can't.
For the best aesthetic results from your tummy tuck, it's important to undergo extensive consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Dr. Dubrow has over a decade of experience as a certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), but more importantly, he has the communication skills, patience and skill to bring out the natural beauty of your body as you envision it. This compassionate approach with his plastic surgery patients in Orange County, Newport Beach and Riverside played a large role in earning him spots as the featured plastic surgeon on the Fox reality TV show "The Swan" and "Bridalplasty" on E!.
Orange County Tummy Tuck Surgery
Unlike some cosmetic surgeons, Dr. Dubrow willfully avoids a "one size fits all" approach to tummy tucks. Instead, he customizes each tummy tuck procedure ("abdominoplasty") by listening to his patients concerns, carefully examining the target area and devising a treatment plan that will provide the most aesthetic benefit with the least medical risk. Depending on your circumstances, you may receive a:
- Standard tummy tuck: Tightens stretched-out ab muscles and removes excess skin via along incision from hipbone to hipbone. Typically includes a navel reconstruction as well.
- Partial tummy tuck: Corrects less severe cases through a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small incision, leaves less scarring and doesn't require a new opening for the navel. Can often be performed with local anesthesia ("mini-tummy tuck").
Tummy tucks are popular among both men and women, but post-pregnancy women often choose to combine an abdominoplasty with a number of other cosmetic procedures for a total body makeover. Referred to as "Mommy Makeover," this suite of procedures can simultaneously correct a number of issues by combining breast augmentation ("augmentation mammaplasty"), breast lift surgery, breast implants, Liposuction ("lipoplasty") and other rejuvenating procedures with your tummy tuck visit. By receiving these procedures during a single visit, you can see more dramatic results with shorter recovery times and fewer anesthesia risks.
