Los Angeles and Beverly Hills Area Tummy Tuck Procedures

After a woman has had a baby or gains tremendous weight, her stomach muscles often become stretched. That allows her tummy to sag into a pot belly. Most of the time, the tummy hangs over the beltline. But even the hardest exercises cannot return the stomach back to its normal shape. That’s when women in the Los Angeles and Bevelry Hills area go see a plastic surgeon about a tummy tuck, the surgical procedure to reduce a fatty stomach.

Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Ivan Thomas offers a tummy tuck procedure known as the Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck. That procedure removes the woman’s pot belly and creates a flat stomach that is trimmer and more athletic than a standard tummy tuck. Dr. Thomas produces his special tummy tuck by taking longer and cross-stitching the stomach muscles back together. Additionally, he puts more stitches across the beltline and that pulls in the patient’s sides tighter. The operation also shrinks the patient’s waist in the front-to-back aspect and in the side-to-side dimension.

“Having a Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck is like wearing a tight girdle under your skin and squeezing the tummy in all directions,” says Dr. Thomas.
