Los Angeles Tummy Tuck Surgeon Specialist

As a Los Angeles tummy tuck surgeon, Dr Grigoryants offers this procedure to remove skin excess and fat from the abdominal area. Dr. Grigoryants is a board certified plastic surgeon. Dr. Grigoryants performs the new or advanced procedure called lipoabdominoplasty. This procedure combines liposuction and advanced tummy tuck techniques allowing to achieve much better results than the conventional tummy tuck in many patients. Tummy tuck is a commonly performed procedure in Los Angeles. Few Los Angeles plastic surgeons offer the new/advanced tummy tuck procedure. It is important for a person expecting to undergo this procedure to select a surgeon who performs a large number of tummy tucks. You should be able to view before and after photographs of patients who underwent this procedure paying attention to the postoperative contour of the abdomen and waist area and whether or not the patient's scar can be hidden behind underwear. Tummy tuck is one the most commonly performed procedures by Dr. Grigoryants. He places the resulting scar such that it can be easily hidden by the thinnest underwear. Dr. Grigoryants frequently performs liposuction of the flanks when performing a tummy tuck in order to improve the definition of the waist area. You can view photographs of Los Angeles tummy tuck patients of Dr. Grigoryants below on this page. To provide you with the safest possible experience, Dr. Grigoryants performs most of his surgeries in the hospital. Patients that travel from far away or those who undergo several combined procedures at the same time have an option of staying overnight in the hospital.

Who would benefit from Los Angeles tummy tuck?

Patients with stretched abdominal skin and excess fat. Many of these patients state that they tried exercising and dieting with no improvement in the appearance of the abdomen.

Patients who after losing weight have a significant amount of loose skin that does not shrink.

Women after pregnancy with excess fat in the abdominal area and stretched / protruding abdomen which does not improve with exercises.

Patients with stretch marks in the lower abdomen with loose skin.

How is Los Angeles tummy tuck done?

In addition to sagging abdominal skin, in some people in the abdomen may be protruding due to stretched abdominal wall muscles. In these patients, in addition to removing excess skin and fat, a tummy tuck surgeon will tighten the abdominal wall (muscles and fascia). This results in a flatter appearing abdomen with a better defined waist.

The tummy tuck specialist (surgeon) would typically place the incision in the lower abdomen so that it is hidden within you underwear. The length of the incision depends on

the amount of skin and fat that needs to be removed. In some patients, mini-abdominoplasty (mini-tummy tuck) can be done using a shorter incision. During your consultation, we evaluate the amount of skin and fat access to be removed. We will the draw the location and likely length of the incision on you or on your pictures (as you prefer). Some patients with fat excess but good skin quality and not a lot of skin excess can benefit from liposuction alone.

During surgery, the abdominal skin is elevated and pulled down. Skin excess is then removed. The abdominal muscles and fascia are tightened if they are weak and stretched.

What is recovery like after abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)?

Most patients go home after abdominoplasty. However, some patients may stay in the

hospital overnight. You will have small drainage tubes placed under the skin to prevent

fluid collections under the skin. Your tummy tuck surgeon will removed these tubes will be

removed once their output decreases (usually within 7-10 days).

You will be able to walk the same day. We will ask you to wear an abdominal binder for

support for several weeks. Most tummy tuck surgeons will use

absorbable sutures that do not need to be removed. You will notice results immediately.

Over the next couple of months the swelling will resolve. You may start lifting heavier

objects after 6-8 weeks.
