Tummy Tuck Surgery in Pasadena
Expert Care and Results From the Leader in the Mommy Makeover Procedure — Dr. Lakshman Has Performed Over 1,000 Tummy Tucks With Beautiful Results
Abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, helps many patients deal with the effects of yo-yo dieting and pregnancy, which often result in loose skin around the belly and back, stretch marks, and/or a protruding belly. A full abdominoplasty can correct these changes that cannot be improved with diet and exercise alone — diet and exercise cannot tighten loose skin.
A full tummy tuck can be done with or without liposuction. The result is a flat, firm abdomen with no stretch marks. As a board-certified plastic surgeon with additional experience in cosmetic surgery, Dr. Lakshman provides each patient with a customized consultation, safe and effective surgery, and one-on-one post-operative follow-up.

Tummy Tuck FAQs
What does a tummy tuck correct?
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat between the belly button and pubic area, tightens the upper abdomen and underlying fascia, and repositions the belly button.
How is a tummy tuck different from diet and exercise?
Diet and exercise cannot tighten loose skin. A tummy tuck surgically removes excess skin and tightens the underlying tissue for a flat, firm abdomen.
Can a tummy tuck be combined with liposuction?
Yes. A full tummy tuck can be performed with or without liposuction, depending on your goals and anatomy.
How experienced is Dr. Lakshman with tummy tucks?
Dr. Lakshman has performed over 1,000 tummy tucks and is a leader in the Mommy Makeover procedure.
What is a mini tummy tuck?
A mini tummy tuck is a less invasive alternative that removes loose skin of the lower abdomen only, without repositioning the belly button or tightening the upper abdomen.
Will I have stretch marks after a tummy tuck?
The tummy tuck removes the skin and tissue in the treated area, resulting in a flat, firm abdomen with no stretch marks in that area.

Mini Tummy Tuck
A mini tummy tuck offers an alternative, less invasive procedure than the full tummy tuck. This procedure involves removing loose skin of the lower abdomen only. It does not reposition the skin around the belly button or tighten the loose upper abdominal skin. Dr. Lakshman is a board-certified plastic surgeon and highly skilled in providing excellent results with this procedure.
