San Diego Tummy Tuck Surgeons – Drs. Batra & Camberos
Serving Temecula, Del Mar, San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano
With weight gain of any type comes the possibility that a person will develop a protruding abdomen, a result of weak abdominal muscles and excess abdominal skin. The tummy tuck or abdominoplasty procedure corrects this problem by removing excess skin and fat, tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall, and rectifying the umbilicus (navel or belly button). Drs. Batra and Camberos have many years' experience performing tummy tuck in San Diego / Del Mar, and they are renowned throughout Southern California for their expertise in creating flat, slim abdominal contours.
Frequently, excess abdominal tissue is a result of the substantial weight gain and weight loss experienced during pregnancy. In this case, Drs. Camberos and Batra might perform tummy tuck in conjunction with breast augmentation or breast lift. This procedure combination is known as a "mommy makeover." Please read on to learn more about mommy makeover and the treatment approach of the talented San Diego / Del Mar tummy tuck experts, Drs. Camberos and Batra.
Case Studies in the Before and After Slideshow
Case 1: This is a 52 year old woman who underwent an abdominoplasty to repair her abdominal wall looseness and hernia. The After photos are from a 6-month follow up and she now has a flat abdomen and a natural-appearing belly button. The abdominoplasty procedure can bring the body back close to a pre-pregnancy state.
Case 2: This 42-year-old San Diego / Temecula cosmetic surgery patient underwent an abdominoplasty and liposuction of the thighs. The After photos are from a 6 month follow-up after the abdominoplasty. She has a flat abdomen, a nice belly-button, and a well-hidden scar. As with this patient, many African-Americans are rightfully concerned about keloid scar formation after surgery, however the statistics show this is usually not the case. This patient's scar after abdominoplasty is barely visible.
Case 3: This 37-year-old San Diego tummy tuck patient lost 80 pounds after pregnancy and wanted to fix the abdominal wall. She had a "tummy tuck" and lipo of the thighs. This is a six month follow up and she went on to lose another 20 pounds after the procedure. She has a very natural appearing belly button and looks great!
Case 4: This is a 44 year old patient who is a mother of four. She had an abdominoplasty, with tightening of the muscles and liposuction of the flanks. This is a year follow up after the tummy-tuck. She has lost another 15 pounds since her surgery as she is able to exercise more effectively and her lower back pain has improved. Abdominoplasties can sometimes improve lower back discomfort by tightening the abdominal muscles.
Case 5: This is a 42 year old patient that had several pregnancies and had a very lax abdominal wall. She underwent an abdominoplasty with several layers of tightening of the abdominal wall. This is a 9 month follow up.
Case 6: This 34 year old had a "mommy makeover" with a breast augmentation and tummy tuck. This is a six month follow up. The procedure took about 4 hours with a 2 week recovery.
Case 7: This 38-year-old petite Del Mar / Temecula tummy tuck patient wanted to get rid of the loose skin on her abdomen and have a breast augmentation. She had the procedures done at the same time which took about 4 hours. She has been very happy with the outcome. This is a six week follow up so her breasts are still sitting a little high and her scars are pink.
Case 8: This is a 3 month follow up on a patient who had a tummy tuck, and breast augmentation with a lift aound the nipple. The scars are still pink at this time.
Case 9: This 52 year old male wanted to improve his "pot belly", he had weakness of his abdominal wall and required an abdominoplasty to tighten up his abdomen. His belly button looks very natural and his bulging is gone.
Case 10: This is a typical "mommy makeover" with breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and liposuction of the thighs. This is a 3 month follow up and the patient is very satisfied with her outcome, and has sent in several of her friends. The whole procedure took about 4 1/2 hours, she stayed one night in the recovery facility, and was back doing normal daily activities at 10 days. Her thighs are expected to continue to improve and get smaller over the next 3 -6 months.
Case 11: This is a six month follow up on a "mommy makeover" Notice the scars for the tummy tuck are hidden under the bikini.
Case 12: This tummy tuck San Diego / Del Mar patient came in from Arizona. She had an 80 pound weight loss and underwent a "mommy makeover" with a tummy tuck and breast lift with augmentation using a silicone gel implant. This is a 3 month follow up.
