Abdominoplasty San Francisco, CA | Ginger Xu, MD

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Achieving a tighter midsection can be challenging for individuals with genetic predispositions or significant body changes from pregnancy or weight loss. Targeted exercises often cannot address stretched abdominal skin or muscle separation, making abdominoplasty an effective solution.

What is Abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to create a flatter, firmer abdomen by removing excess skin and repairing weakened muscles. The procedure can help:

• Restore muscle tone
• Eliminate stretched skin
• Improve core strength
• Enhance body contour

Surgical Approach

Dr. Ginger Xu offers two primary abdominoplasty techniques:

• Full Tummy Tuck: Comprehensive abdominal reconstruction
• Mini Tummy Tuck: Less invasive option for targeted areas

Candidate Considerations for Tummy Tuck

Ideal candidates for abdominoplasty are individuals who:

• Are in good overall health
• Maintain a stable weight
• Have realistic expectations
• Are not planning future pregnancies
