Every patient’s anatomy is different and the complexity of each surgery varies from patient to patient as well as the total time in the operating room.

Patient safety is always our highest priority and it is recommended that patients reach or be close to a BMI of 30 in order to have surgery. However, there may be some exceptions that can be made based on the patient’s anatomy & overall general health. This can be further discussed with our medical professionals during your in-person consultation.

As long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle and avoid significant weight gain, your new abdominal contours will be long-lasting. It’s important to note that no procedure can stop the aging process, so expect your abdominal region and skin to “age” and change over time.

A cut in the skin will always form a scar. However, the CosmetiCare surgeons make sure that the incision is placed unobtrusively enough that it can be covered by most clothing, even two-piece swimsuits. Over time, any redness in the scar should face, leaving you with beautiful results.

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to remove fat cells. It can be very effective for one or two problem areas that remain despite diet and exercise. However, a tummy tuck is a more involved procedure that removes excess skin and fat, plus tightens the abdominal muscles themselves. A tummy tuck is ideal for women who have lost their slim profile due to muscle tone loss following pregnancy, or for those who have lost a great deal of weight and whose skin isn’t elastic enough to adjust.

Liposuction and a tummy tuck as part of a mommy makeover is the most popular combo procedure.

Ideally, patients who are interested in abdominoplasty in Newport Beach will already have reached a stable weight and are in good overall health. This procedure isn’t a substitute for eating right and exercising, and shouldn’t be considered a weight loss solution. Women who may become pregnant should not undergo an abdominoplasty, and if a tummy tuck is desired following the birth of a child, it’s best to wait several months. The happiest patients following surgery are those who go in with realistic expectations.

A tummy tuck is not meant to be a “weight-loss” procedure but rather to trim the waistline and create a smoother, flatter, firmer abdominal profile. We recommend patients be at or within 10 to 15 lbs. of their goal weight before tummy tuck surgery for optimal, long-lasting results.

Abdominoplasty surgery is considered a cosmetic procedure, so insurance typically doesn’t cover it. However, you may receive partial coverage if hernia repair is required.
