San Diego Tummy Tuck

Diet and exercise do not always tighten and tone stretched-out muscles and excess skin. Multiple pregnancies, massive weight loss, and/or aging can cause the abdominal area to become resistant to these efforts. Carol Hollan, M.D., F.A.C.S. provides a cosmetic surgical solution to this problem; she offers tummy tuck surgery ("abdominoplasty") at her accredited surgical facility, the La Jolla Center for Surgery.

Tummy Tuck Information

Having the "unique ability to envision the final result of her skills long before she begins a procedure," La Jolla tummy tuck surgeon Dr. Hollan will customize a treatment plan to meet the patient's desired outcome. The tummy tuck procedure entails the removal of excess skin and fat in addition to the tightening of underlying muscles. Should there be minimal excess skin and loose muscles that sit predominantly bellow the belly button, Dr. Hollan may suggest mini tummy tuck surgery to address this problem.

La Jolla, San Diego, and Carlsbad tummy tuck patients who are no longer planning to become pregnant often combine abdominoplasty with other body contouring procedures, such as liposuction ("lipoplasty") and breast augmentation ("augmentation mammaplasty").

Understanding that "beauty is about being whole and complete," Dr. Hollan can show before and after photos during the consultation. Along with discussing the various details of tummy tuck surgery, including instructions regarding the before and after periods, tummy tuck questions can be answered during the initial consultation. Patient testimonials are also available to read, which allows an individual to become familiar with Dr. Hollan's personality and value of the doctor-patient relationship.
