Who Qualifies for a Tummy Tuck?

To qualify for a tummy tuck in Beverly Hills, you should be in good overall health, without any serious medical conditions that could interfere with the healing process. You should have maintained a stable weight for at least six months and be at or near your ideal body weight, with excess skin and fat in the abdominal area that cannot be eliminated through diet and exercise alone. Smoking is a risk factor, so candidates should be non-smokers or willing to quit smoking for a period of time before and after the procedure.

It’s worth noting that the tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure but is rather a surgery designed to eliminate the presence of stubborn excess fat and sagging skin that droops or hangs. When you visit Dr. Rogers for your initial consultation, he’ll get to know your cosmetic goals, take your physical characteristics into account, and work to guide you to a treatment plan that is ideal for you and your aspirations, so you can experience total peace of mind as you look forward to your life-affirming tummy tuck results.

The Tummy Tuck Procedure

General Anesthesia

Tummy tuck surgery is typically performed using general anesthesia, which means the patient is completely asleep and unaware during the procedure. General anesthesia allows the surgeon to perform the surgery safely and comfortably for the patient.

Procedure Duration

The duration of a tummy tuck procedure can vary depending on the extent of the surgery and the individual patient's needs. Generally, a full tummy tuck can take between two to four hours to complete, while a mini tummy tuck can be completed in about one to two hours.

Surgical Technique

During the surgery, the skin will be lifted, and the underlying muscles will be tightened and stitched into place. Any excess skin and fat is removed, and the remaining skin is pulled down and stitched into place. The belly button may also be repositioned to a more natural location. 

The Mini Tummy Tuck

If the fat deposits are limited to the area just below the navel, you may require a less intense procedure called a mini-tummy tuck. Dr. Rogers will be happy to discuss this option with you during your preoperative consultation.

Why Patients Love the Tummy Tuck

Many of our patients find that the tummy tuck is an ideal way to address stubborn excess fat or drooping skin. After your tummy tuck procedure, you’ll feel more confident showing off your stomach and abdomen when beach season rolls around, in addition to enjoying a better fit in other outfits of your choosing. 

Take a look at just a few of the reasons our patients absolutely love their abdominoplasty results.
