Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Dr. Augusto Rojas MD performs abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) at the AAAHC-accredited Venice Beach Surgical Center in Mar Vista, Los Angeles. The procedure removes excess skin and tightens the abdominal wall musculature, typically following significant weight loss or post-pregnancy changes. Abdominoplasty is frequently combined with liposuction or performed as part of a Mommy Makeover to produce a flatter, firmer abdominal contour.

Abdominoplasty at Venice Beach Surgical Center is performed by Dr. Augusto Rojas MD, a cosmetic surgeon with over four decades of experience and training that spans Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, and multiple international certifications in aesthetic medicine. A tummy tuck addresses two distinct components of abdominal laxity that diet and exercise alone cannot correct: excess skin and subcutaneous tissue that remains after major weight loss or post-partum recovery, and rectus diastasis — the separation of the paired vertical abdominal muscles that frequently occurs during pregnancy and produces a persistent abdominal bulge regardless of core fitness level. The procedure tightens the underlying fascial layer to restore a flatter muscular plane, removes the excess overhanging skin, and repositions the navel to sit naturally within the new contour. Full abdominoplasty addresses the entire abdomen from the costal margin to the pubic hairline, while a mini-abdominoplasty focuses on the lower abdomen only — appropriate when skin laxity and muscle separation are limited to the zone below the navel. Extended abdominoplasty can be combined with flank contouring for circumferential trunk rejuvenation. At Venice Beach Surgical Center, abdominoplasty is commonly combined with VASER liposuction of the flanks and back in the same surgical session to create a cohesive waistline result — an approach that maximises the benefit of a single recovery period. Mommy Makeover packages may also include breast procedures and BBL fat transfer staged appropriately around recovery windows. All surgeries are performed at the on-site accredited facility. Cherry financing is available. The clinic serves patients from Mar Vista, Santa Monica, Culver City, Venice, Playa Vista, and throughout Los Angeles and Southern California.
