Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Long Beach, CA | Dr. Joshua Waltzman

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

A flat belly and narrow waist are often seen as tokens of fitness and good health. While diet and exercise can help, some individuals struggle with stubborn fat and loose skin that cannot be addressed through traditional methods. A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) can help patients achieve a more defined, contoured abdomen.

Who is an Ideal Tummy Tuck Candidate?

The ideal candidate for abdominoplasty in Long Beach is someone who:

• Is close to their ideal body weight
• Has excess skin on the abdomen
• Wants to remove stretch marks or C-section scars
• Maintains a stable, healthy weight
• Does not have untreated major medical conditions
• Is a non-smoker

How Tummy Tuck Surgery Works

During a tummy tuck procedure, Dr. Waltzman carefully removes excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying abdominal muscles. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and involves repositioning the belly button to create a natural, refined appearance.
