San Diego Tummy Tuck

For many individuals, the abdominal region is often a difficult area to slim and contour with a healthy diet and regular exercise routine. In order to achieve a slender figure, many opt to undergo a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure, more specifically a tummy tuck. In San Diego, Larry H. Pollack, M.D., F.A.C.S. performs this body enhancing procedure at his practice, Del Mar Plastic Surgery. Along with a caring and professional staff, Dr. Pollack is committed to providing patients with a satisfying surgical experience.

La Jolla and San Diego Tummy Tuck Information

During a visit with Dr. Pollack, La Jolla and San Diego tummy tuck surgery patients can discuss their ideal outcome and learn of their options with tummy tuck surgery (“abdominoplasty”). Designed to eliminate loose, excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles, this procedure can be modified according the patient’s anatomy. Those who have an abundance of skin and fat above and below the belly button are better suited for a full tummy tuck; a mini tummy tuck may be more appropriate if the bulging is only below the navel. In either technique, Dr. Pollack will make an incision very low on the abdomen, from hipbone to hipbone. The abdominal muscles are then tightened, and excess skin is removed.

Oftentimes, women who have experienced multiple pregnancies wish to combine other body contouring procedures with a tummy tuck. La Jolla and San Diego tummy tuck patients may wish to consider liposuction surgery (“lipoplasty”) and/or breast lift surgery (“mastopexy”); when performed together, this is commonly termed a “Mommy Makeover.” In addition, Dr. Pollack may provide further insight to those who seek procedures for post bariatric surgery.

To see examples of previous patient results, before and after tummy tuck photos are available. Patient testimonials are also provided.
