Tummy Tuck San Francisco
About Tummy Tuck in Marin County by PSS
If you have had children, lost a significant amount of weight or have tried to get rid of that pesky stomach flab with diet and exercise but to no avail, you can benefit greatly from a tummy tuck in San Francisco, also known as an abdominoplasty.
The San Francisco tummy tuck procedure improves abdominal and mid-torso contours by eliminating excess skin and fat, and in some cases, tightening of the abdominal muscle girdle. This procedure may vary from a minimal skin excision below the belly button (mini abdominoplasty) to a circumferential incision removing several inches of excess skin circumferentially around the body.
About the Tummy Tuck Procedure
The tummy tuck has evolved over the years into one of the most popular and successful plastic surgery procedures out there today. Our practice has performed this procedure countless times and we can guarantee the most technologically advanced procedure with optimum results.
The tummy tuck or abdominoplasty surgery can address loose skin lax muscle (causing tummy protrusion even without fat) as well as extra fat. For many people, especially after weight loss, the procedure can even be extended to include a lower back, thigh, and buttock lift. Liposuction is often used as a tool to sculpt the torso after skin and muscle tightening. This is a safe procedure as long as appropriate precautions are taken and is best performed by an experienced surgeon or better yet team of surgeons working together (like PSS) because the surgical time can be cut literally in half. The surgery really is body sculpting and can effect tremendous change in appropriate candidates. This is often performed in conjunction with breast contouring to result the mid torso (so called Mommy Makeover surgery). The Vectra 3-D imager can be helpful in showing anticipated results of this surgery.
Consider a Tummy Tuck in Marin County If:
- You are in good physical shape
- You have excess abdominal fat or skin that diet and exercise won't fix
- Overall you are healthy and have realistic expectations about surgery

There are currently 6 different types of tummy tuck procedures: Circumferential Tummy Tuck, Endoscopic Tummy Tuck, Extended Tummy Tuck, Mini Tummy Tuck, Panniculectomy, and Traditional Tummy Tuck. When you have a consultation with Plastic Surgery Specialists, you will discuss with your doctor which type will be best for you.
When it comes to the procedure itself, an abdominoplasty can be performed with either local or general anesthesia depending on the intensity of the procedure. The surgery can take up to several hours to complete, but the length of the procedure is related to what type of tummy tuck you choose to receive. You can discuss the placement of your incisions with your doctor as well as the details of naval reattachment and sculpting.
