Tummy Tuck in los Angeles

Tummy tucks are one of our  most popular cosmetic procedures we perform. Have you tried dieting and exercise and still can not get rid of the fat or excess loose skin ? It’s a well know fact that even though you can reduce your body weight and fat by dieting and exercise, it still will not help to improve loose skin or  week abdominal muscles. Dr Boris, a highly experienced and top rated cosmetic surgeon in Los angeles can help you achieve your desired body image.

DR. Boris has performed thousands of Tummy Tuck / Liposuction procedures with excellent results.

Men and woman who lose a lot of weight, or after pregnancy, and are left with a lot of excess skin on the abdomen or other areas of the body are a good candidate for Tummy Tuck procedure, if they are medically in good shape.

Even though the main purpose of a tummy tuck is to remove an excess of fat and skin on the body and specifically around the abdomen area, it can also restore some muscle function in the lower abdomen. A flat abdomen is something many people try to obtain through exercise, often it’s not possible to obtain the results you want by exercise and diet alone. And in some cases, like after having lost a lot of weight, that’s just not an option.

The procedure itself is very tailored to each individual person and provided on a needed basis. There’s requirements you must meet before doctors will agree to it, such as being physically fit and in good health, and having no unrealistic expectation of the outcome of the surgery. Being a non smoker is often a requirement as well, so if you smoke you will be instructed to sop a few weeks before and a few weeks after the surgery.

An  abdominoplasty is considered a permanent procedure, but it’s important to note that if you gain a lot of weight again, it can cause complications. Also, like any other surgery, there may be other complications like infection or blood clots. So during your initial consultation your doctor will advise you of all the risks and complications  that can arise.

Are You a Good Candidate For a Tummy Tuck

The best candidates for abdominoplasty are men or women who are in relatively good physical shape but are bothered by excess fat  or loose abdominal skin that won’t respond well to diet or exercise.

The surgery is particularly helpful to women who, through multiple pregnancies, have stretched their abdominal muscles and skin beyond the point where they can return to normal. Loss of skin elasticity in older patients, which frequently occurs with slight obesity, can also be improved. Patients who intend to lose a lot of weight should postpone the surgery. Also, women who plan future pregnancies should wait, as vertical muscles in the abdomen that are tightened during surgery can separate again during pregnancy.
