Tummy Tuck Candidacy

Newport Beach - Orange County, California

Dr. Douglas Hendricks, Orange County plastic surgeon, has helped thousands of Newport Beach patients reshape their stomach areas with the tummy tuck procedure, also called an abdominoplasty. This treatment works well to tone and firm stomachs that have been affected by excess fat, sagging skin, and stretched abdominal muscles due to pregnancy. After the tummy tuck procedure, many of our patients are amazed at the overall appearance improvement and the enhanced confidence that comes from a strong, attractive mid-section.

Ideally, candidates for the tummy tuck procedure will be in good physical condition and have a realistic view of what the treatment can and cannot do. Dr. Hendricks will tell you everything you need to know during your extensive cosmetic surgery consultation at our Orange County office.

The adominoplasty procedure may be your perfect procedure if:

  • You want to repair stretched abdominal muscles after pregnancy and you are not planning on having additional children.
  • You are over 18 years of age.
  • Your current condition or health history does not indicate any increased risks.
  • You have sagging skin or stretchmarks in the stomach area due to significant weight loss.
  • Genetics or the aging process has resulted in a belly “pooch.”
  • You have tried unsuccessfully to get a firmer abdomen through diet and exercise.
  • You have excess belly fat.
  • You desire a more toned abdomen.
