Surgeries performed by award winning Los Angeles plastic surgeon, Dr. Kenneth Hughes
Tummy tuck is a surgery that removes skin and subcutaneous tissue from the abdomen and tightens the abdominal wall.
Before | After |
This is a 40 year old female who had undergone a massive weight loss procedure and was requesting improvement of her loose skin and stretchmarks on her abdomen. Dr. Hughes was able to achieve a dramatic change with a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) alone. Notice the much improved contour, the removal of loose skin and stretchmarks, the nice, shapely belly button, and the incredibly flat abdomen. Even the abdominal musculature is now visible. Notice the low, very fine scar Dr. Hughes was able to achieve.

Dr. Kenneth Hughes, MD in Los Angeles produces another very flat tummy tuck result. Dr. Hughes precisely plicates the abdominal wall fascia to tighten the abdominal wall and fix any defects. He also frequently repairs hernias at the same time. He also dissects higher on the abdominal wall to recruit more tissue so that more tissue can be removed. Upper abdominal fullness due to inadequate upper abdominal plication, inadequate superior dissection of the abdominal flap, or a combination of both.

This gentleman had received 3 previous surgeries from other surgeons including tummy tuck, liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, and back, and a tummy tuck revision. He still expressed concerns about the lateral abdomen and flanks. Notice the “rolls” in the preoperative picture. Several surgical methods were employed including liposuction to achieve the extremely flat flank contours seen in his postop picture on the right.

This patient underwent tummy tuck alone, though she certainly could have benefited from circumferential liposuction of the trunk or liposuction 360. Dr. Hughes was still able to produce a dramatic improvement in all respects. The result is natural. Dr. Hughes produces a nice result with a low-lying scar and a natural belly button. Fascial plication or muscle tightening is routinely performed with tummy tuck by Dr. Hughes at his surgery center in Los Angeles.

Dr. Hughes performed this tummy tuck as part of a mommy makeover procedure at his surgery center in Los Angeles. Notice the improvement in tummy flatness and overall improvement in body shape. Some patients do not want the smallest waist possible, but if they do Dr. Hughes can perform liposuction 360 degrees of the waist to produce the smallest waist possible.

This patient had a tummy tuck procedure with muscle tightening and a new belly button as is standard. Dr. Hughes pulls the patient waist in from the sides to create a waist taper. Pulling the skin straight down as many surgeons do produces a much more square and boxier look that many patients find objectionable. As Dr. Hughes frequently states it is not just whether or not you can talk about performing a surgery or whether you can sell a surgery to a patient, it is a question of whether you can execute a surgery with precision and nuance that produces the most favorable result.
