Abdominoplasty Revision in Beverly Hills & Los Angeles

Why people might not be happy with their tummy tuck in Beverly Hills?

A person might be disappointed with the results of their tummy tuck or abdominoplasty in Beverly Hills due to asymmetry, highly visible surgical scar or their location, unacceptable visible deformities, bunching and rippling. The skin near or at the incisions may heal poorly, wounds may disrupt, and sensation can be altered in the areas of surgery or adjacent to it.

Tummy Tuck Complications or Unsatisfactory Results in Beverly Hills
ÿ Tummy tuck scars can sometimes be revised or at least relocated to a less visible location. It is not uncommon to find patients who have had their tummy tuck incision placed too high, just under their belly button. These women are often unable to hide these scars under a bikini. This scar can often be lowered to where it can be hidden under a bikini.
ÿ Another common complaint is the appearance and the size of belly buttons or the umbilicus after an abdominoplasty in Beverly Hills. The belly button scar and shape can be optimized with minor revision tummy tuck surgery.
ÿ Unwanted bulging and protrusion of the abdomen after a tummy tuck can be caused by several things. First, it is not common for some women to gain weight after a tummy tuck which can cause accumulation of fat in certain areas of the abdomen and flanks. Second, tightening of the abdominal wall muscles can become undone with either heavy lifting, or weight gain. There are even times when the Beverly Hills plastic surgeon might not have performed a complete tightening of the abdominal Rectus Muscles along its entire length. This can also be revised similar to repair of a ventral hernia or incisional hernia.
ÿ Smoking or use of Nicotine products can be detrimental to the results of a tummy tuck. Nicotine causes severe chocking of the small and delicate blood vessels that supply blood to the umbilicus and the other areas of the abdominal skin. Therefore, smoking can cause death of the umbilicus or the abdominal wall skin and opening or dehiscence of the incision line. If this happens, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon can possibly revise your abdominoplasty and repair or reconstruct these wounds.


Having said this, it may not be possible to fully correct, revise, or improve upon the result of your tummy tuck. Following the instructions of your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon before and after surgery can minimize your chance of developing complications or unsatisfactory results.

Among overweight people in Los Angeles, there are many that have changed their lifestyle and eating habits in a way not to gain any further weight.

These people find large volume liposuction as an effective alternative to Bariatric surgery.

Body Lift or Thigh Lift after Gastric Bypass in Beverly Hills

What is a Thigh Lift?
After weight loss, men and women can get sagging and rippling of their thighs that can extend from the upper thighs to the knees. Often, women complain that they are unable to wear swimsuits and that the loose skin rubs together between their thighs. Also the wrinkled loose skin around the knees keeps many women from being able to wear skirts.

While the sagging of the outer thighs and the buttocks can usually be addressed with a Body Lift procedure that of the inner thighs cannot. A Thigh Lift is a procedure which lifts and tightens the loose skin of thighs -- mostly that of the inner thighs.


What is a Traditional Thigh Lift?

Two different types of thigh lifts can be performed depending on the extent of skin laxity. If the skin laxity and rippling is mostly limited to the upper inner thighs, and skin excess does not extend to the entire circumference of the thigh, a Traditional Thigh Lift can be performed. In this procedure the surgical scar is located in the groin crease extending to the buttock crease. This scar is very well hidden.


What is an Extended Thigh Lift?

Often, people who were once extremely obese are now left with extensive laxity of the entire thigh all the way to the knees. In these cases, an Extended Thigh Lift is performed. In addition to the scar of the groin crease, there is also a long vertical scar that extends along the inner thigh height. This vertical scar enables the surgeon to remove the lax excessive skin of the entire thigh.


Can Thigh Lifts be Combined with Liposuction?

Yes. Both Traditional Thigh Lift and Extended Thigh Lift can often be combined with limited Liposuction in order to better contour the legs and to reduce the size of the “saddle bags”.

Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck- High Tension Abdominoplasty

There are several types of Abdominoplasty or Tummy Tuck procedures in Beverly Hills. These differ depending on the extent of the abdominal wall tightening and removal of loose skin and stretch marks.

Doctor Sean Younai who is a Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon often performs “High-Tension Tummy Tuck or Abdominoplasty.” It is unique in that it not only tightens the abdominal wall but also pulls up and tightens the thighs and the buttocks. By repairing the loosened abdominal muscles, this also narrows the waistline. It removes a majority of the stretch marks by removing the loose skin below the “umbilicus,” or navel. Finally, it re-creates the belly button by removing the stretched out skin around it, making it look deeper and tighter.

How is this accomplished? The first step is an incision that extends from hip to hip along lower pubic area. A skilled surgeon makes this incision so that the resulting scar will be hidden under a bikini or by undergarments. The loose abdominal skin is lifted off the abdominal wall and the separated loosened “rectus” muscles (those used in doing sit-ups) are tightened with sutures. This achieves the effect that an old-fashioned girdle would.

In people with excessive fat in the hips and flanks, these areas are suctioned in order to shape the waist and to form the buttocks and flanks. The umbilicus (“belly button”) is disconnected from the abdominal skin, and after removing the loose skin along with its stretch marks, it is reattached to the abdomen. Drains are inserted to remove excess fluid as it accumulates.

The final result is a tummy that is tight and flat, a waist that is narrow and curvy, thighs and buttocks that are firmer, a belly button that is sexy, and an abdomen that is firm and youthful.
