San Francisco Tummy Tuck

The quality and appearance of stretched-out abdominal muscles and loose, hanging skin in the midsection can be greatly improved with cosmetic surgery. This is why many individuals turn to tummy tuck surgery (“abdominoplasty”). Designed to tone and firm the abdomen, a tummy tuck procedure is intended those who are in good health, have loose skin, and have already attempted traditional weight loss methods. If you decide to undergo this procedure, it is important to select a plastic surgeon who is experienced and well-qualified.

He offers two locations, in San Francisco and Novato, providing convenience for those in the surrounding areas. When choosing to undergo a tummy tuck with Dr. Delgado, you can expect to benefit from his strong value of the patient-doctor relationship. He offers a comfortable and pleasant experience at his state-of-the-art surgical facility.

Tummy Tuck Information

This body contouring procedure will help to reshape and redefine your abdominal area, reversing the effects of aging, pregnancy, and/or weight loss. Typically, our San Francisco tummy tuck surgeon begins this procedure by making an incision from hipbone to hipbone; the amount of excess will determine the length of the incision. The muscles are then tightened by pulling them together, and excess skin is excised and sutured in position. The overall result is a flatter, better-contoured abdomen. Should sagging skin and stretched-out muscles predominantly sit below the belly button, a mini tummy tuck may be more appropriate.

For optimal contouring results, our Novato tummy tuck surgeon may also suggest liposuction (“lipoplasty”) for fat removal. Liposuction and tummy tuck performed together typically provides more definition to the overall midsection. Oftentimes, breast augmentation (“augmentation mammaplasty”) is performed along with a surgical tummy tuck as an additional procedure for helping a woman regain her pre-pregnancy body.

Dr. Delgado is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). He is also a member of the California Society of Plastic Surgeons (CSPS), the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).
