Photo of Los Angeles Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Vishal Kapoor Performing a Los Angeles Tummy Tuck, AKA Abdominoplasty. Known to medical professionals as abdominoplasty, the Los Angeles tummy tuck is a surgical procedure which removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall. This procedure can reduce a protruding abdomen and create a flatter, more pleasing appearance. Candidates for the Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck include men and women who are looking to improve the appearance of excess skin and/or fat around the waistline that have not responded to diet and exercise. The Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck can be particularly beneficial for women who have developed excess skin and a loss of abdominal wall integrity due to pregnancy and childbirth. It’s often advised that surgery be postponed for individuals who are planning to have more children or those who are planning to lose a significant amount of weight. An initial consultation with Dr. Vishal Kapoor in his Beverly Hills office will help to determine if the Tummy Tuck is right for you.
