Tummy Tuck San Diego | Flatten & Tighten Your Midsection

Benefits

Abdominoplasty can improve abdominal contour by addressing loose or excess skin, separated abdominal muscles, and stubborn fat. Patients often experience a flatter, more toned appearance and improved clothing fit. When appropriately selected, results are long-lasting and can significantly enhance overall body proportions.

Candidates

Ideal candidates for abdominoplasty are individuals who have excess abdominal skin, muscle laxity, or contour irregularities that do not improve with diet and exercise. Candidates should be in good overall health, at a stable weight, and have realistic expectations. Abdominoplasty is not intended as a weight-loss procedure.

Treatment Areas

Abdominoplasty addresses the abdomen, including the area above and below the belly button, and may also improve the waistline and lower torso depending on the technique used. Muscle tightening of the abdominal wall may be performed when appropriate.

Procedure

Abdominoplasty techniques are tailored to the patient’s anatomy and goals. Several variations exist, including:

Mini Abdominoplasty:

Focuses on the lower abdomen below the belly button with limited skin removal and minimal muscle tightening.

Standard Abdominoplasty:

Addresses excess skin and muscle laxity of the full abdomen, typically involving repositioning of the belly button.

Extended Abdominoplasty:

Extends beyond the hips to address excess skin and contour concerns of the flanks and waistline.

Fleur-de-Lis Abdominoplasty:

Designed for patients with significant horizontal and vertical skin excess, often following massive weight loss.

Incisions are carefully planned to be placed low on the abdomen and concealed by clothing when possible. The procedure is performed under anesthesia, and recovery progresses gradually as swelling resolves and contours refine.
