Abdominoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure used to eliminate excess skin and fat from the middle and lower regions of the abdominal area. This is accomplished by removing excess fatty tissue and skin folds. This procedure, sometimes referred to as a San Diego Tummy Tuck, helps to smooth and flatten the midsection by reducing the size of the obtruding abdomen. Abdominoplasty is an area of cosmetic plastic surgery as the individual seeking the procedure is generally dissatisfied with their appearance. San Diego Tummy Tuck procedures include: liposuction, skin excision and tightening of the abdominal muscles. Most procedures are completed within 2 or 3 hours on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia. Recovery time varies based on the physical condition of the individual prior to the surgery or procedure. Individuals in better physical condition prior to the operation may have a shorter recovery time, potentially 2 weeks or less compared to 3 or 4 weeks. Those who are younger may also require less recovery time than their older counterparts, but anyone in top physical condition will have an easier time than those who are not. The best candidates for a San Diego Tummy Tuck include: women suffering from stretched abdominal muscles and abdominal skin due to multiple pregnancies, men or women whose excess abdominal fat or skin cannot be corrected with diet or exercise, or older adults who have lost skin elasticity due to the aging process. Costs for this type of plastic surgery can range from $6,000 to $12,000 depending one the type of procedure.
