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.
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.
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.

It’s worth noting that the tummy tuck is not a weight-loss procedure but rather a surgery designed to eliminate 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 and 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.

Improved abdominal contour

Easier maintenance of a healthy weight
Strengthened abdominal muscles

Relief from certain medical conditions

Abdominoplasty Recovery Experience

Most patients will need to take 2 to 4 weeks off work to rest and recover after the procedure. During this time, you will need to avoid strenuous activities and exercise and follow Dr. Rogers’ post-operative instructions closely to ensure proper healing.

You’ll be given a clear idea of what to expect before your procedure, and our team will ensure you have a detailed timeline, clear aftercare instructions, and everything you need to manage any swelling or bruising and remain as comfortable as possible.

Tummy Tuck Frequently Asked Questions

When will I see the final results of my tummy tuck?

While some results may be visible immediately after the procedure, final results typically emerge as swelling subsides and the tissues settle into their new position, which can take several weeks to months.

Can a tummy tuck be combined with other procedures?

Yes, a tummy tuck can be combined with other body contouring procedures, such as liposuction or breast augmentation, for a more comprehensive enhancement, depending on individual needs and goals.

How do I choose the right surgeon for my tummy tuck?

It's crucial to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience performing tummy tucks. Look for a surgeon who listens to your concerns, explains the procedure thoroughly, and provides personalized recommendations based on your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Can a tummy tuck help with post-pregnancy stretch marks?

Yes, a tummy tuck can help reduce the appearance of post-pregnancy stretch marks, especially those located on the lower abdomen below the belly button. By removing excess skin, many stretch marks in this area may be excised during the procedure.

What can I do to maintain the results of my tummy tuck?

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, can help prolong the results of your tummy tuck. It's also essential to follow any post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon and attend regular follow-up appointments for monitoring and support.
