High Tension Tummy Tuck for Plus Size Women in Beverly Hills

Tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a desirable option for body contouring in plus size women. Large size women seek abdominoplasty in Los Angeles not necessarily to loose weight or to get smaller, but more importantly to get a proportional figure.
Large size women are often challenged by not having the right curves in the right places! For some plus size women liposuction can shape their body by removing excess fat from the stubborn areas. For example, liposuction of the abdomen, waist, and the lower back can help shape women to have a more hour-glass figure and more sexy curves! This enables large size women to fit better in their favorite cloths and to be able to have better options in choosing cloths.

There are many liposuction techniques advocated in Los Angeles but the most effective method for full figured men and women is Tumescent Large Volume Liposuction. This technique of liposuction has revolutionized body contouring for large size women and has enabled them to see a real difference.

For some large size women in Los Angeles liposuction might not provide the optimal results! This is a group that have lost and gained weight over the years and thus have developed loose skin folds of the abdomen, upper back, outer chest, legs, and arms. These women are best served by a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty, but the technique that is designed for large size women.

High Tension Abdominoplasty is a unique tummy tuck technique designed for large sized women. High Tension Tummy Tuck not only removed hanging skin folds of the abdomen, but also helps shape the waist, tighten the abdominal muscles, smoothen out the upper thighs, and more. In a way it is a merger between liposuction and tummy tuck which addresses all the issues associated with excess fat, skin folds, and poor skin elasticity and sagging.

Extreme Body Contouring – An Alternative to Bariatric Surgery/ Gastric Bypass

Motherhood is a beautiful thing but sometimes it can have devastating consequences on a women’s body.
This 35 years old mother had gained about 75 lbs and developed hanging abdominal skin after three pregnancies. She was devastated with this dramatic change in her size and form. This young mother wanted to get back her old body! With a combination of Large-volume liposuction and High Tension Abdominoplasty she was able to go from size 26 to 12.
Initially, she had considered Bariatric Surgery (gastric bypass) but felt uneasy about undergoing a major abdominal surgery that could permanently change and restrict the way she would eat and digest food. Therefore, she chose to first undergo Large Volume Liposuction, followed by a High Tension Tummy Tuck, 3 months later. She has since been able to maintain her weight and to look the way she did prior to her pregnancies.

Body Lift after massive weight loss in Beverly Hills & Los Angeles

Massive weight loss of more than 50 lbs carries many unwanted consequences. In Beverly Hills and Los Angeles many who have lost weight are undergoing tummy tuck or Abdominoplasty in order to regain their normal figure.
The incidence of body contouring procedures such as tummy tuck, body lift, arm lift/brachioplasty, and thigh lift are rapidly rising as more and more people are losing their unwanted weight with diet, exercise, and Bariatric surgery (gastric bypass, lap band).
Obesity not only causes accumulation of fat in the subcutaneous tissue around the torso, but also intra-abdominally. This gut fat pushes out against the abdominal wall and makes it stretch. Therefore, after weight loss a person is not only left with loose and hanging abdominal skin, but also with a weakened and protruding abdominal wall. Unfortunately, exercise cannot adequately strengthen the abdominal wall and people and left with a hanging belly.
Abdominoplasty or Tummy tuck after weight loss enables men and women of Beverly Hills and Los Angeles to restore their body to its normal shape and form. Beverly Hills abdominoplasty or tummy tuck accomplishes several goals:
1. Removal of excess hanging abdominal skin.
2. Removal of all or most of lower abdominal stretch marks.
3. Tightening the abdominal wall and restoring its original integrity, firmness, and function.
A High Tension Abdominoplasty as developed by Dr. Younai, also helps to pull up the loss skin of the upper thighs and buttocks, while liposuctioning excess flank fat in order to create a more hour-glass waist. The result is not only a tight and smooth abdomen but also a curvaceous body.
While some men and women with massive weight loss after gastric bypass or lap band surgery only need a tummy tuck, the majority would need a different type of body contouring procedure which address the excess skin folds around the torso, chest, and thighs.
Panniculectomy, which only removes the abdominal pannus, is best for those that haven’t lost all their excess fat and still have a heavy and large tummy fold. For those who are close to their ideal body weight or Body Mass Index, and only have excess torso skin a body lift is more appropriate. In Beverly Hills a body lift, belt lipectomy, Circumferential Torsoplasty, or lower body lift, basically removes the excess mid-torso skin. During a body lift a plastic surgeon lifts the buttocks in the back, pulls up and smoothens the loose outer thigh skin, as well as removes the hanging abdominal skin and tightens the abdominal wall. Because of its complexity a body lift is best performed by a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes in post-bariatric body contouring surgery.
