San Diego Tummy Tuck
Due to various reasons, many individuals are unable to achieve a flat and contoured abdomen regardless of a healthy diet and regular exercise routine. Those who have exhausted natural means of toning often choose to undergo tummy tuck surgery. San Diego tummy tuck surgery professional Maurice P. Sherman, M.D. performs this body shaping procedure at his practice Del Mar Cosmetic Medical Center.
Body contouring can enhance the appearance and shape of your body.
The tummy tuck (“abdominoplasty”) surgery is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the stomach area, as well as tighten abdominal muscles. Dr. Sherman offers patients both the full and mini tummy tuck.The technique chosen is determined by the amount of excess skin and laxity of the muscles.
A full tummy tuck entails incisions made across the lower abdomen from hipbone to hipbone, and vertically up and around the navel. The skin is then separated from the underlying abdominal wall in order to tighten the loosened muscles, and it is then pulled down to remove any excess. A new opening for the belly button is made as well. The mini tummy tuck usually only requires an incision made in the lower abdomen and is more frequently used for those who have minimal sagging skin.
A new style of tummy tuck is also gaining popularity at Del Mar Cosmetic Medical Center. The Avelar tummy tuck maintains all of the blood supply to the tummy skin and lets Dr. Sherman perform liposuction as well as skin and muscle tightening safely and with amazing fast recovery.
Furthermore, San Diego, Del Mar, and La Jolla tummy tuck patients who would like to achieve optimal body reshaping results often inquire about liposuction surgery (“lipoplasty”). With the use of a cannula, Dr. Sherman can remove stubborn pockets of fat from specific areas of the body. Women who have sagging breasts may also inquire about breast lift surgery (“mastopexy”) to regain a more youthful breast contour.
