Tummy Tuck Beverly Hills

It is very common to have extra tissue in the abdomen area after pregnancy or losing a lot of weight. The elastic nature of skin allows it to stretch when it needs to, but unfortunately prolonged periods of it being stretched out can lead to a permanent resizing of the skin. Thanks to the option of a tummy tuck Beverly Hills, men and women are able to enjoy the aesthetic and self-confidence benefits of a flatter, tighter stomach area in a quick, safe and effective manner.

One of the best parts about tummy tuck Beverly Hills is the fact that the problem of excess skin and fat tissue is resolved in a single operation. Patients enter the procedure with their unsightly stomachs, and leave with the flat, tight stomach they always dreamed of. With Dr. Ghavami, special attention is directed towards achieving results that perfectly complement the rest of the body shape. His expertise in the plastic surgery field, coupled with his keen aesthetic eye, allows him to provide patients with the highest caliber of results possible.

Undergoing a tummy tuck Beverly Hills with Dr. Ghavami is a very viable option for those that wish to remove the excess abdominal skin and fat tissue that commonly remains after giving birth or losing a lot of weight.

Abdominoplasty helps to flatten and shape the abdomen and waist by removing excess fat and skin and tightening the abdominal wall muscles. By tightening the underlying muscles, Dr. Ghavami creates an "internal corset" effect that produces a beautifully balanced waist line and abdominal silhouette. The best candidates have pockets of fat or loose skin that haven't responded well to diet and exercise. The procedure can also be useful for women with stretched skin and muscles from pregnancy. After the effects of pregnancy, a breast lift may also be needed and the combination is commonly known as a "mommy makeover."

Recovery time ranges from two weeks to a few months, depending on the extent of the tummy tuck and other factors. Most people typically go back to work in 2-3 weeks. With a balanced diet and regular exercise, results are long-lasting and extremely satisfying to patients.

Tummy Tuck Beverly Hills

The tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is an increasingly popular procedure for patients who have loose tissue after having a child, or patients with sagging skin after losing a lot of weight. Dr. Ashkan Ghavami offers the tummy tuck in Beverly Hills, having specialized in this procedure for many years. Depending on the scope of the intended procedure, this surgery can take from 1 to 5 hours.

When Dr. Ghavami performs a complete tummy tuck in Beverly Hills, he usually begins by making a hip-to-hip incision right above the pubic area. He then makes another cut to excise the navel from the surrounding tissue. The next step is to separate the skin from the abdominal wall, giving Dr. Ghavami easy access to the muscles and fascia that he plans to tighten with sutures. Depending on the circumstances, a tummy tuck may also involve liposuction to the drainage of excess fluid (so that it doesn’t pool under the tightened skin).

Most often drains are needed to help remove the excess post-surgical fluid so it does not collect under the newly positioned skin. Dr. Ghavami uses specialized techniques that help surgical drains to come out much sooner than normally expected (3-5 days on average versus the usual 1-2 weeks). Abdominoplasty does leave a permanent scar stretching between the hips, although it is designed with care so that can be concealed in the undergarment or bikini line. Some patients qualify for a "mini-tummy" tuck combined with liposuction which reduces the length of the scar. Dr. Ghavami will determine if this is right for you.

We also encourage patients who intend to lose a lot of weight to wait before undergoing the procedure, since skin in the abdominal area typically loosens after substantial weight loss. Sometimes liposuction can be done first to help in this process as a first stage and the excess skin removal and muscle tightening can be removed at a second stage.
