Los Angeles Tummy Tuck

Many women, and and increasing number of men, seek out abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck (jump to photos), after undergoing massive weight loss or following pregnancy to tighen up loose skin and remove excess fat in the waistline. When performed correctly, a tummy tuck can drastically improve the appearance of a patient's midsection. The most natural-looking results are often by well-experienced, board cerified plastic surgeons, which the key reason it is important to find a reputable and well-experienced tummy tuck Los Angeles surgeon to perform the procedure.

Typical Recovery Time for Tummy Tuck Los Angeles Patients
Previously, tummy tuck surgery could involve an uncomfortable recovery period, especially during the first few days. Our tummy tuck Los Angeles surgeons use a unique pain pump system to make recovery for patients much more comfortable (in fact, we often need to remind many of them to take it easy after surgery becuase they feel pretty good). Most of our tummy tuck Los Angeles patients take one to two weeks off from work, depending on the nature of their case. Los Angeles tummy tuck patients should avoid heavy lifting and should not resume exercising for at least three weeks following their surgery.
