Benefits and Cost of Tummy Tuck in Huntington Beach CA Area

A popular cosmetic surgery performed by Dr. Thomas T. Nguyen and his team at Orange County Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery Center of Huntington Beach, California, is that of the tummy tuck. The tummy tuck, medically known as an abdominoplasty, is designed to remove fat and excess skin from the midsection. Both adult men and women can benefit from the tummy tuck procedure and may ask about it during their consultation with our plastic surgeon. Let's learn more about the tummy tuck costs, benefits, and goals.

What is tummy tuck surgery?

Dr. Nguyen describes the tummy tuck as an operation designed to improve the shape and tone of the abdomen. The goal is to remove unwanted fat and excess skin from the midsection. In most cases, patients can also benefit from improved muscle definition in the abdominal region.

What are the advantages of a tummy tuck?

The primary advantages of a tummy tuck include improved body contour, enhanced muscle definition, and reduced weight around your midsection. After surgery, many patients feel more confident with their appearance and experience improved overall health due to their new healthier lifestyle. It is essential to fully understand that the tummy tuck procedure is not designed to be a solution to weight loss. Instead, it removes fat and skin in the midsection that may not be well-treated with diet and exercise alone. This targeted treatment contours the body for those already within their ideal weight range and living healthy lifestyles.

How much does a tummy tuck cost?

The cost of the tummy tuck surgery depends on several factors, making it hard to provide patients with a flat charge. During a consultation visit, an evaluation allows our doctor to make an educated and accurate quote for treatment from start to finish.

What is the goal of the tummy tuck procedure?

The primary goal of the tummy tuck procedure is to achieve a more shapely and toned midsection. Patients can expect to see improved muscle definition, as well as the removal of excess fat and skin around the abdomen. The result should be an overall improvement in body contour and figure. Dr. Nguyen and his team are committed to helping each patient meet their individual goals while providing a natural aesthetic outcome that looks great.
