What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgery to remove loose skin, tighten weakened muscles, and reshape your abdomen. If diet and exercise alone aren’t giving you the results you want—especially after significant weight loss or pregnancy—a tummy tuck can help you finally feel at home in your body again. At our Pasadena location, our skilled surgeons use advanced techniques to personalize the procedure to your unique goals and anatomy.

Tummy Tuck vs. Liposuction

While both a tummy tuck and liposuction can target unwanted fat, they’re actually very different procedures:

Tummy Tuck: Ideal if you’re dealing with loose skin and muscle separation. This procedure firms and flattens the abdomen, improving overall contour.
Liposuction: Best for reducing stubborn fat deposits in the abdomen if your skin and muscles are already in good shape.

If you’re interested in both options, we can often combine these procedures to get the results you’re after.

Are You a Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

You might be an ideal candidate for a tummy tuck if you’re in generally good health and are bothered by loose skin, stubborn fat, or stretched abdominal muscles. Here’s how to know if this might be a good choice for you:

You’re dealing with sagging skin around your midsection.
You’ve achieved a stable weight after weight loss or pregnancy.
You’re a non-smoker or willing to stop for the recovery period.
You have realistic expectations about the results and recovery.

During your consultation at our Pasadena location, we’ll take time to understand your goals and discuss any questions you may have to make sure this is the right procedure for you.

Consultation and Preparation

Your consultation is all about you. When you meet with our team in Pasadena, we’ll listen to your concerns, answer any questions, and go over the details of the procedure so you feel fully informed. Here’s what you can expect as part of your preparation:

Medication Adjustments: Certain medications, like aspirin, can increase bleeding, so you may need to pause these temporarily.
Quit Smoking: If you’re a smoker, you’ll need to stop at least temporarily, as smoking can slow the healing process.
Arrange for Help: Plan for someone to drive you home after the procedure and help out for the first few days.

The Tummy Tuck Procedure

On the day of your tummy tuck, here’s what the process generally looks like:

Anesthesia: You’ll be given general anesthesia to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the surgery.
Incision: The surgeon makes a low, horizontal incision—typically placed to be easily hidden by underwear or swimwear.
Muscle Tightening: If your abdominal muscles are stretched or separated, they’ll be repaired and tightened.
Excess Skin Removal: Loose skin is removed to give a smooth, firm result.
Final Shaping: Your remaining skin is gently stretched and secured, creating a natural-looking contour.

Our goal is to give you a refreshed, smooth look that feels completely you.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

You’ll see an improvement right after surgery, though swelling may take a few weeks to fully go down. Here’s a general timeline for recovery:

First Few Days: You may feel some soreness and will likely wear a compression garment to support healing.
Getting Back to Normal: You’ll be able to resume light activities within a week or two, while more vigorous exercise may need to wait a bit longer.
Scar Care: We’ll provide tips on keeping your incision clean and helping your scar heal smoothly.
Final Results: After a few months, as swelling fully resolves, you’ll see the complete outcome of your tummy tuck.

Your results will last for years, especially if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
