Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Salinas, CA | Jeremy Silk, MD, FACS

Understanding Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is an effective surgical procedure for individuals at a stabilized weight seeking to enhance their body contour. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced significant body changes, such as women post-pregnancy or individuals who have undergone substantial weight loss through diet, exercise, or bariatric surgery.

Procedure Overview

During an abdominoplasty, the surgical approach involves several precise steps to reshape and rejuvenate the abdominal area:

• Initial liposuction to thin the upper abdominal fat layer
• Low incision placement near the pubic mound
• Skin and fat elevation from underlying muscle structures
• Muscle tightening through specialized suturing techniques
• Excess skin and fat removal
• Belly button repositioning

Recovery and Results

Cost Considerations

Abdominoplasty pricing varies based on multiple factors, including tissue removal complexity, surgical time, and specific techniques employed. A comprehensive consultation provides transparent insights into potential costs and expected results.
