Tummy Tuck in Ventura County

Having a tummy tuck in Ventura County is a big decision. Abdominoplasty, known more commonly as a "tummy tuck," is a major plastic surgery procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall.

Having a tummy tuck in Ventura County can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. However, it does produce a permanent scar, which, depending on the extent of the original problem and the surgery required to correct it, can extend from hip to hip.

 

We take pride in our well maintained, state of the art facilities, multiple convenient locations, and the support of a strong team of medical professionals and technicians. Each of our fully accredited surgery centers uphold the highest standards of care to ensure a safe and pleasant experience for our valued patients.

The best candidates for tummy tucks in Ventura County are men or women who are in relatively good shape but are bothered by a large fat deposit or loose abdominal skin that won't respond to diet or exercise. The surgery is particularly helpful to women who, through multiple pregnancies, have stretched their abdominal muscles and skin beyond the point where they can return to normal. Loss of skin elasticity in older patients, which frequently occurs with slight obesity, can also be improved.

Patients who intend to lose a lot of weight should postpone the tummy tuck surgery. Also, women who plan future pregnancies should wait, as vertical muscles in the abdomen that are tightened during surgery can separate again during pregnancy. If you have scarring from previous abdominal surgery, your doctor may recommend against abdominoplasty or may caution you that scars could be unusually prominent.

A tummy tuck in Ventura County can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won't necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with your surgeon. -www.plasticsurgery.org
