Los Angeles Tummy Tucks

Are you interested in abdominoplasty in the Los Angeles area? This is commonly knows as a tummy tuck. Many women seek out this procedure after losing weight, or having children due to the abdominal muscle and skin laxity that results, as well as extra fat. Dr. Svehlak and Dr. Yamini can remove the bothersome extra fat and skin in the abdominal area and always take special care to give the belly button a natural look.

Both surgeons perform mini and full tummy tucks. A mini tuck focuses on the excess skin and fat below your belly button, whereas a full tummy tuck removes enough skin and fat that a new belly button is created.

Here are some of the factors that make for a good candidate for a tummy tuck:
Healthy
Not too overweight (10 - 50 lbs)
No diabetes
Smoking is not recommended
Blood test necessary

The technology used for tummy tucks has progressed quite a bit in recent years, making recovery much easier. The surgeons at Sunset use a unique pain pump system which makes recovery much more comfortable (in fact, we need to remind our patients to take it easy after surgery even if they're not in pain!). Most patients take 1- 2 weeks off from work depending on the nature of their case. You should avoid heavy lifting and not resume exercising for at least 3 weeks or more after one of our Los Angeles tummy tucks.

Below, you will find just a few examples of our tummy tuck results. For more information and several pages of before and after photos, please visit our tummy tuck photo gallery and information page.
