Tummy tuck or Abdominoplasty for large or plus size people in Los Angeles
 Tummy tuck for plus size women is performed by board certified plastic surgeons who specialize in extreme body contouring in Los Angeles. Men and women of large size seek abdominoplasty not only to shape their body and to improve their figure, but also to be able to function better. For example, large hanging abdominal pannus is not only displeasing but also hinders one’s ability to exercise effectively and is a constant source of rash and irritation. Large abdominal skin folds and heavy belly fat can also restrict one’s chest wall movement, thus hampering normal breathing and exacerbate sleep apnea.
Men and women of plus size often complain that they just can’t fit well in their cloths, no matter how they have them altered. A large belly and fullness of the flanks and the lower back  can often make the buttocks look too small or inadequate.
The technique of abdominoplasty for plus size people varies from a Panniculectomy or belt lipectomy. Unlike a Panniculectomy which usually only removes the hanging lower abdominal pannus, a High Tension Abdominoplasty removes most of the stretch marks, narrows the waist by shaping the abdomen, flanks, and lower back; tightens the stretched out abdominal wall; and even pulls up and smoothens the upper thighs and hips. Depending on the patient’s needs, Large-volume-liposuction is first performed in order to prepare a large size person for a High Tension Abdominoplasty.
One of the requisites for undergoing a tummy tuck is for the plus size person to be medically optimized prior to surgery. This means that any health condition such as diabetes,  hypertension, and thyroid, heart and lung diseases should be first properly evaluated and optimized by the appropriate medical specialist. It is also essential to perform extensive body contouring procedures, such as this, at an accredidated surgical facility which is prepared for such procedures.
