Newport Beach Tummy Tucks
Exercise and diet are important for weight loss but they cannot get rid of loose, sagging skin, muscle separation, or stretch marks that are caused by pregnancy, age, and weight changes. A tummy tuck can correct these problems. Abdominoplasty removes excess fat, skin and tissue from the abdomen.

A full abdominoplasty is usually recommend when there is loose skin above the belly button. In this procedure, an incision is made from hip to hip. It is placed low enough to be hidden by most swimwear. If the patient has excess skin below the belly button, a mini-tummy tuck may be all that is needed to meet their cosmetic goals. Dr. Grover sometimes performs liposuction at the same time as a tummy tuck in order to obtain optimal results.

A panniculectomy is similar to a tummy tuck in that it removes excess skin and fat. However, a tummy tuck is usually performed on people of normal weight, while a panniculectomy is performed on people who have lost a large amount of weight and have a more excessive overhang, or "apron" of skin and fat to be removed. This procedure can have dramatic results, reducing stress and pain caused by the condition.
