Male tummy tuck

April 22nd, 2010 by tummytuckbiz

tummy tuck Beverly Hills Although most men kid about their love handles, spare tire or donut rolls this is still something that makes most men self conscience. Plastic surgery is so closely related to women that most forget men occasionally have plastic surgery as well. In most places around the world and in Beverly Hills tummy tucks can be done on both men and women. Tummy tucks are more closely related to women because of the elasticity which women lose after giving birth, but as men age fat tends to accumulate more in the abdomen area.

As men age their body changes and fat is redistributed along the abdomen area. Most men are victim of a pop out belly (pot belly) or love handles that is generally impossible to rid with exercise. Frequent exercise and eating healthy might help to reduce the size, of the belly but most Los Angeles Tummy tuck specialist say that once the fat accumulated around the belly it is there to stay unless more drastic measures are taken. For a male tummy tuck Los Angeles doctors say the procedure does not differentiate much than that of the procedure which is done on a woman, but tummy tuck and men should, but more men should be informed on what will occur during the procedure. After recognizing the different steps to each tummy tuck procedure the patient should chose which one is best for him unless already chosen by the surgeon.

A traditional male tummy tuck Beverly Hills doctors say is the same procedure as that of a traditional female tummy tuck. This procedure is generally an outpatient procedure which can be done under local or general anesthesia. When possible it is done under local because more risks are posed under general. During this procedure two incisions are made one on the lower abdomen running from hip to hip and the other is an incision for the belly button to be relocated. This procedure will leave a bigger scar than the others but the scar will be less noticeable over time. A male mini tummy tuck consist of one smaller incision above the pubis line.

The advantage of the mini tummy tuck procedure is less scaring and no removal of the belly button, most surgeons suggest liposuction with this procedure to obtain the full results. The endoscopic tummy tuck is less invasive procedure in which no skin is removed. This procedure has a bit less result than the others and is more for improvement of an already exercised body. Lastly extended tummy tuck is an entire over haul of the tummy, flanks and love handles. With this procedure there is more result in a wider range area and which also results in a bit more scarring. To ensure which procedure is best for the desired goal please speak to a local tummy tuck surgeon.

Preparations: Prior To Surgery

Beverly Hills tummy tuck

When going in for a plastic surgery procedure, your surgeon will provide very specific instructions prior to surgery so you will have an optimal and safe experience. These include- what medications to avoid to prevent excessive bleeding and bruising, required medical exams, what to eat and drink prior to surgery, and the prescription of an anti-nausea pill to take on the morning of the surgery. In all cases, you will be asked to have a reliable friend or family member take you home after the surgery, as you will not be allowed to drive. Some procedures do require overnight stay in an aftercare facility or a hospital.

Also, tend to all of your chores and to do things before your surgery so you don’t have to worry about taking care of things early during your recuperation. This means if you usually clean the house, you should do so in advance of your tummy tuck surgery. Have your hair cut and colored, wax your legs, pay your bills, and take your dog to the vet before your planned day of surgery!

Pre-operative Instructions from the Office of Dr. Sean Younai:

  • If you are older than 45 years, or have heart disease or diabetes, Los Angeles tummy tuck surgeons require a pre-operative EKG, which would either be done by your internist, cardiologist, or at our facility. Heart disease and all other medical illnesses need to be optimized, and you be cleared by an internist or specialist prior to surgery.
  • Pre-operative laboratory blood and urine tests are done usually within 10 days of your surgery date. If you do have health insurance this might be covered, otherwise, the laboratory will charge you.
  • If you are a smoker, live with a smoker, or use Nicotine products (patch, gum, or nasal spray) notify your Beverly Hills tummy tuck plastic surgeon well in advance of your surgery. You are not allowed to smoke or use Nicotine products for two weeks prior to and two weeks after your surgery, because it greatly increases your risk of having complications including loss of abdominal skin after surgery.
  • If you are anemic, or have a low blood count, please notify our office well in advance of surgery so that we can start you on Iron supplement. If you are anemic, you cannot have a tummy tuck Los Angeles plastic surgeons say.
  • If you have specific medical illnesses, allergies, or physical handicaps, please notify our staff during your pre-operative visit.
  • Please refrain from taking any Aspirin, Aleve, Advil, Motrin or other NSAID for ten days before your surgery. These drugs can increase the incidence of bleeding and bruising.
  • Do not drink or eat after midnight, the night before your surgery. This means no coffee or breakfast on the morning of your surgery. You should take all your medications with a little water. If you have to take diabetic medication or insulin, be sure to have instructions from our office on how much of it to take the morning of surgery.
  • Prior to your surgery you will be given a prescription for pain medication, antibiotics, and nausea medicine. Get these filled in advance and bring them with you to surgery.
  • Before leaving home for your surgery, take one “nausea pill”- COMPAZINE - with a little water.

You must make arrangements for a responsible adult friend or family member to take you home after surgery. You are not allowed to drive yourself home or take a taxi. After surgery, this caregiver is required to stay with you and to monitor and assist you for at least the first 24 hours after surgery. If you don’t have such a person, or live far away, or are having extensive or multiple procedures please let us know in advance so that we can help you make arrangements for a stay at an after-care facility or hospital.

The Ideal Candidate For A Tummy Tuck And Liposuction

liposuction for plus size

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Consumer Guide To Plastic Surgery shows that while some cosmetic plastic surgery procedures leveled off from 2004 to 2005, the tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) procedure increased a dramatic 26 percent (according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons). That continues a steady gain in popularity in the United States of 115 percent since 2000. You too may be a candidate for this tried-and-true cosmetic enhancement.

The ideal candidates for tummy tuck surgery are patients in relatively good physical shape, but have excess skin or fat in the abdominal area that is resistant to exercise. This includes the laxity of underlying muscles due to pregnancy which makes it very difficult for mothers to return their abdominal area to a flat appearance. For these women, the skin and muscles have stretched beyond the point where they can naturally return to their normal location and shape.

In Beverly Hills tummy tuck patients include candidates who have lost a lot of weight through diet and exercise or bariatric surgery, and have excess skin in the abdominal area. The normal aging process can also cause skin to sag or lose elasticity, making many older patients in tummy tuck candidates.

Fat deposits accumulate under everyone’s skin. The best candidates for liposuction may have bulging and flabby areas of the body from these fat deposits, especially the abdomen, arms, thighs, and neck. Even in people who eat a healthy diet and stay physically fit, these fat deposits can persist. They can result from genetic factors, body chemistry, and other causes.

The ideal candidates for liposuction are physically fit, exercise regularly, and are not more than 20 pounds overweight. People with very localized, exercise-resistant fatty deposits may obtain the best results. Be aware that the flabby appearance of the area being treated may not disappear completely. Crash diets before or immediately after this plastic surgery procedure are not recommended.

You are also an ideal candidate if you have made a good effort to eliminate the fatty deposits through extensive exercise and diet. You may have spent an inordinate amount of time on exercise programs or with excessive diets just to reduce or eliminate one final, persistent bulge. Some bulges are simply exercise-resistant, and liposuction may provide a solution. In addressing larger body areas, patients can work with doctors to determine if you are a good candidate for procedures involving liposuction for plus size.

Tummy tuck after weight loss in Beverly Hills & Los Angeles- High Tension Abdominoplasty TM

February 20th, 2009 by tummytuckbiz

Los angeles tummy tuck

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.

body liftPanniculectomy, 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.

Dr. Younai is a board certified plastic surgeon who is very experienced in all aspects of post-bariatric or massive weight loss plastic surgery. He not only performs High Tension Abdominoplasty and body lift, but also High-Volume Liposuction, brachioplasty or arm tuck, thigh lift or thigh reduction, upper body lift, breast lift or mastopexy, as well as face and neck lifts. These complex cosmetic and restorative surgeries can only be performed at a surgical facility which is fully accredidated and equipped. Dr. Younai utilizes Regency Surgery Center which is an AAACH accredidated, and Medicare Certified freestanding Outpatient Surgery Center. Here, patients are cared for by an experienced group of Board Certified Anesthesiologists and critical care nurses who work meticulously not only to ensure patient’s safety but also their comfort.

At the California Center for Plastic Surgery Dr. Sean Younai receives patients from the Northern as well as the Southern California region, including cities such as Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Hollywood, Burbank, Pasadena, Glendale, Valencia, Palmdale, Fresno, Bakersfield, Oxnard, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, East Bay, San Jose, and Stockton.
