Tummy Tuck For Women
Conveniently located to serve Walnut Creek, Danville, San Ramon, Castro Valley, and surrounding locations in the Bay Area, CA
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, can give you the toned, firm midsection that diet and exercise alone may not achieve. Many of our patients from Walnut Creek, Danville, San Ramon, and Castro Valley choose this procedure over liposuction for its dramatic results. With years of experience and a commitment to beautiful, natural-looking outcomes, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Nouri Ghorbani can help you achieve the confidence you deserve.
What Is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles. It is especially beneficial for women who have experienced pregnancy, significant weight loss, or natural aging, which can lead to loose skin and weakened abdominal muscles.
Abdominoplasty can create a firmer, smoother abdominal profile. While not a weight-loss procedure, it enhances body contours by addressing stubborn areas that do not respond to diet and exercise.
Benefits of Tummy Tucks for Women
Getting abdominoplasty for women will allow you to enjoy benefits that include:
- Removal of excess skin – Tightens loose or sagging skin for a firmer look
- Muscle tightening – Repairs weakened or separated abdominal muscles
- Enhanced abdominal contours – Creates a flatter, more toned midsection
- Stretch mark reduction – May improve the appearance of stretch marks on the lower abdomen
- Improved posture – Strengthened core muscles can lead to better posture and reduced back strain
Ideal Candidates
The ideal candidate for an abdominoplasty is a woman in relatively good shape who is uncomfortable by significant fat deposits on the abdominal wall or tired of dealing with loose skin and muscle on the abdomen. These are often concerns of women who have had multiple pregnancies.
The Tummy Tuck Procedure
During your female abdominoplasty, Dr. Ghorbani removes excess skin and fat in the abdominal area and tightens your stomach muscles. Depending on the type of procedure you have, he may be able to eliminate or reduce the appearance of stretch marks on your abdomen.
Types of Tummy Tucks
At our Walnut Creek office, we offer patients the option of a full or a mini tummy tuck and will help patients select the right procedure to achieve their desired results. To view past patient results and see the dramatic difference the procedure can make, see our before and after abdominoplasty photos.
A full tummy tuck is what most people think of as the classic type. In this procedure, Dr. Ghorbani makes an incision across your abdomen from hip to hip, which allows him to restore more of your abdomen to a youthful, taut appearance than a mini abdominoplasty.
A mini tummy tuck is more desirable for younger patients with less sagging skin and muscle in the area. It is performed entirely below the navel and does not require an incision around the navel as the full abdominoplasty does.
What to Expect During Tummy Tuck Recovery
Recovery involves managing swelling and discomfort, which can be controlled with prescribed medications. Patients are typically advised to avoid strenuous activities for several weeks and to follow specific care instructions to promote healing. Key aspects of recovery include:
- Most patients need at least two weeks of limited activity, with gradual increases in movement.
- Wearing a compression garment helps reduce swelling and supports healing.
- Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for at least six weeks.
- Regular visits with Dr. Ghorbani ensure proper healing and address any concerns.
- Keeping the incision area clean and following scar management recommendations can help minimize visibility over time.
- Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps preserve results.
