Considering tummy tuck surgery? Your safety is our priority!
Individuals across Southern California have finally banished stubborn belly fat with the “tummy tuck” procedure. Abdominoplasty may support weight loss of five to ten pounds and one to four clothing sizes! It is particularly beneficial for patients with lax skin and weak abdominal muscles.
Treating these problems requires more than diet and exercise; it demands a skilled and highly qualified hand in the form of a Board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Thomas T. Nguyen. When combined with our accredited Orange County Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery Center inside Huntington Beach Regional Hospital’s Outpatient Services Building, Dr. Nguyen’s considerable focused knowledge and experience also supports safe, predictable, tailored, and optimal treatment.
Your treatment is in good hands.
Dr. Nguyen has advanced training beyond medical school in various surgical and cosmetic treatments. As a Board-certified specialist, he stays on top of the latest, safest, and greatest techniques and treatments in the field. Furthermore, he brings more than 20 years of clinical experience to each procedure. There is no substitute for hands-on, experiential know-how.
Dr. Nguyen also surrounds himself with highly capable professionals, experts, and specialists in given fields and disciplines. For individuals who do not have a general physician, he may recommend visiting Dr. Chi Phan in Irvine well before surgery.
We are big advocates of “prehabilitation” care. This approach emphasizes getting the patient as healthy as possible prior to the day of surgery. In doing so, we help to minimize the risks of side effects and complications associated with treatment.
Our team can work hand in hand with other members of your care team on steps to put you in the best possible position for a healthy, speedy recovery and healing. For instance, we may advise on smoking cessation.
It should be emphasized that treatments like abdominoplasty are not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle, good eating habits, and exercise. Candidates for a tummy tuck are typically at or close to their ideal weight range. They just tend to “store” stubborn fat in highly localized areas and as fat pockets.
Furthermore, women may have loose, saggy skin and muscles as a result of childbirth. They may find that their bodies are not bouncing back to their pre-baby contours. The tummy tuck can help with this common concern by tightening muscles and removing excess skin and fat to restore a flatter belly.
When our patients are ready for surgery, Dr. Nguyen also partners with a Board-certified anesthesiologist. This specialist administers anesthesia for utmost safety. As noted, our surgery center has also achieved national accreditation from the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care. As such, we must demonstrate our adherence to the most rigorous standards of quality and care related to cleanliness, sanitation, and safety on an ongoing basis.
To further support the safest experience, it is essential for patients to adhere to post-operative instructions. As we advise on prehabilitation and preparation before surgery, we will review everything you need to do following surgery. Wearing garments as advised and maintaining follow-up appointments helps to ensure optimal and predictable healing.
