 Orange County Plastic Surgery News
Recently, the tummy tuck procedure has emerged as one of the optimal methods for reducing excess body fat and restoring ones shape and figure. Also known as Abdominoplasty, the Tummy Tuck is a surgical procedure that dramatically reduces the appearance of a protruding abdomen. Through the procedure, the tummy tuck serves to remove excess fat and skin, and tighten the muscles of your abdomen, making a more flat abdomen. This plastic surgery procedure can take anywhere from 2-5 hours, while most patients are back to work within 3-4 weeks.

Ask Doctor Grover - Who is a good candidate for a mini tummy tuck?
I find that very few women are good candidates for mini abdominoplasties. Most women ask about a ‘mini tummy tuck’ because they want a smaller procedure with a smaller scar. However, what most women do not realize is that usually a mini tummy tuck will only address a small amount of skin on the lower abdomen, and usually will only tighten the lower abdominal muscles.
If you are concerned about excess skin on the upper abdomen, especially when you sit down, then you will likely be unhappy with a mini tummy tuck. Additionally, if you tighten the lower abdominal muscles on someone who has laxity throughout or a diastasis rectus, this will exaggerate the fullness in the upper abdomen.
Other options do exist, such as endoscopic techniques to tighten the muscles throughout with only a small incision down low and one around the umbilicus.

Ask Doctor Grover - Will I Lose Weight from a Tummy Tuck Surgery?
Tummy Tucks are ideal for the post partum woman who has excess or lax skin, excess fat, and lax or separated muscles. Additionally, tummy tucks will benefit those patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and are now left with loose extra skin. An abdominoplasty can do wonders to improve or contour a person’s body, but does not generally result in significant weight loss. Some may notice a weight loss of 3 to 10 pounds.

Ask Doctor Grover - Compression Garments After Tummy Tuck Surgery - How Long?
Most plastic surgeons will have their tummy tuck patients wear some form of abdominal binder or compression garment for the first 3-6 weeks following a tummy tuck. Many patients will express that they feel more comfortable and confident with it on during the first month or so. Some patients can’t get wait to get rid of it though.

Ask Doctor Grover - Orange County Abdominoplasty Combines Liposuction for Outstanding Results
Liposuction may be combined with an abdominoplasty many times. Some times this is only performed on the flanks, other times, some surgeons will perform liposcution on the front of the abdomen as well. There are different forms of liposuction available such as Power Assisted Liposuction, Vaser ultrasonic liposuction, and traditional hand assisted liposuction. All of these techniques are viable options in the right hands.

Ask Doctor Grover - Abdominoplasty Surgery for Type 2 Diabetics
Having type 2 diabetes is not a contraindication to having an abdominoplasty on its own. However, it is advisable to only undergo this type of procedure if your blood sugars are well controlled. You should inform your surgeon of how your blood sugars range and what your A1C’s run. You may need to undergo further medical workup including an EKG or a treadmill test and medical clearance. Your blood surgars should also be well controlled to also achieve better wound healing. Good luck.

Ask Doctor Grover - Newport Beach Tummy Tuck Final Results
You will see immediate results the next day, ‘final’ results in 2-3 months. Abdominoplasty patients are quite pleased the moment they see their tummy for the first time at their first dressing change. Of course, there will be some swelling that will resolve over the first several months.

Ask Doctor Grover - Will Health Insurance Cover an Abdominoplasty with Umbilical Hernia Repair?
Yes. It is possible to undergo an umbilical hernia repair and abdominoplasty at the same time. Most insurance plans will cover the umbilical hernia repair; however, they will not cover the abdominoplasty. You should check with your plastic surgeon to see if they accept insurance payments or will assist you in billing your insurance.
