San Diego Tummy tuck directory information

RealSelf.com provides the San Diego physician directory as an unbiased resource for locating San Diego plastic surgeons who specialize in body procedures like tummy tuck or abdominoplasty. We do not accept advertorials or paid directory placements in the doctor directory. San Diego providers are listed according to their level of participation in the community.

Tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, is designed to firm and smooth the abdomen, remove excess abdominal skin, reduce fat, and tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. Tummy tuck is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in San Diego, especially for women who are finished having children or have lost a significant amount of weight. Unless there is significant weight gain or the patient becomes pregnant, the abdomen should remain firmer and flatter for many years.

There are many variations both to the design of the incisions and the tummy tuck technique itself. A horizontal incision is usually placed just above the pubic area. If a patient has loose skin above the navel, the plastic surgeon may make an incision around the navel so that redundant skin above it can be pulled down. The procedure may include tightening of the underlying abdominal muscles using sutures. Sometimes liposuction may be used alone, or in conjunction with abdominoplasty, to remove abdominal fat.

Be are honest with your plastic surgeon about your medical history and your goals for the surgery, and choose a surgeon who is experienced and qualified to perform tummy tuck in San Diego. No surgery is without some level of risk, and your surgeon should explain all of the side effects and possible risks prior to surgery.

Tips for finding the right San Diego tummy tuck surgeon

1. Ask your San Diego tummy tuck surgeon, what is your board certification and which professional societies do you belong to?
2. Is the facility where my surgery will take place an accredited facility?
3. What exactly can I expect during and after tummy tuck surgery?
4. Are there any alternatives to tummy tuck that I should be aware of?
5. May I see before and after photos of other San Diego patients who have already had tummy tuck?
6. May I speak to a current patient who has already had a tummy tuck?

Do not commit to tummy tuck with a San Diego doctor or plastic surgeon based solely upon advertising, special pricing, or the referral of another patient before fully researching the background of the surgeon.
