"Thank you, for such an excellent job on my tummy tuck.
Not only did you work wonders on my physical appearance, but you
also elevated my self-esteem to a whole new level. When I first
met you, you asked me what I wanted out of this surgery. At the
time, all I was thinking about was the excess skin that was left
over from my pregnancy of my twin boys. My only thought was how
wonderful it would feel not having extra skin hanging around. But,
I never imagined looking the way I do now after the surgery. You
gave me a whole new outlook on life, both mentally and physically..." Read

Typical Recovery Time for Tummy Tuck Los Angeles Patients
Unlike traditional tummy tuck surgery, which involves a recovery period that can be very uncomfortable during the first few days, our surgeons use a unique pain pump system. This approach makes the recovery of our Beverly Hills and Los Angeles tummy tuck patients much more comfortable (in fact, we need to remind many of them to take it easy after surgery even if they are not in pain!). Most of our Los Angeles and Beverly Hills tummy tuck patients take one to two weeks off from work depending on the nature of their case. Beverly Hills and Los Angeles tummy tuck patients should avoid heavy lifting and should not resume exercising for at least three weeks following their abdominoplasty procedures.
