Tummy Tuck in Danville, CA
What Is A Tummy Tuck?
Many adults find sagging skin and stubborn fat around the abdomen frustratingly resistant to diet and exercise. Common culprits include pregnancy, weight loss, and aging, often making it difficult to achieve a slim, toned stomach. At Elite MD in Danville, CA, Dr. Vivek Bansal offers tailored body contouring solutions, including tummy tuck surgery and its less invasive counterpart, the mini tummy tuck. These procedures are adapted depending on the extent of excess skin and fat. Whether it's through a full abdominoplasty or a mini tummy tuck, patients can enjoy a sculpted abdomen, a redefined physique, and a boost in confidence. To discover how these surgeries can eliminate excess skin and fat while tightening abdominal muscles, we invite you to schedule a consultation with us.
How Is A Tummy Tuck Performed?
Abdominoplasty, performed under general anesthesia, offers a range of surgical options customized by Dr. Bansal to meet each patient's specific requirements. The extent of excess skin dictates the incision size, ranging from an extended tummy tuck with a hip-to-hip incision for those with significant skin laxity to a mini tummy tuck for those with minimal skin wrinkling. Both procedures at Elite MD offer skin tightening and sculpting with the length and visibility of scars varying according to the technique employed. A mini tummy tuck focuses on the area beneath the belly button, involving a smaller incision and often incorporating liposuction to remove excess fat. The remaining skin is tightened, resulting in a toned, flat abdomen. Typically, the belly button remains unaltered, and any scarring is discreet, easily hidden under swimwear or underwear.
What Are the Benefits of A Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck can be a good surgical treatment for individuals in the Danville, CA area who want to treat stomach fat, acquire a more toned look, and match their shape to their fitness levels. This procedure done at Elite MD provides a few of these perks:

Tummy Tuck Reviews
Elite is True to Name! I am more confident and my clothes fit amazingly - Let me start by saying this: I took about six months to write this review to make sure that it was comprehensive and addressed at least six months of my experience with Dr. Bansal & the team at Elite. From the moment I walked in the door, Tricia was incredibly kind and thoughtful, and she really made me feel at ease with my consultation. I explained to her that I already had a consultation at a major medical company, and they advised that I needed to lose 20lbs before they would do a tummy tuck. I was feeling discouraged. Tricia gave me comfort by letting me know that I didn’t need that procedure. This was great news because I was at Elite for info on the vaser liposuction procedure after seeing those commercials over and over. Lol. I had a complete consultation, paid my deposit, and left with my surgery date on the books!I spoke with Dr. Bansal for my pre-op by phone and he assured me that he would take care of me like family. He knew I was concerned about what the other surgeon told me about losing weight as well as potential complications from having sickle cell disease. I found relief in the honesty/transparency from Dr. Bansal. He advised that I did not need a fully invasive procedure like a tummy tuck, and he was confident in his ability to achieve my desired outcome with minimal downtime and minimal scarring. He was so confident that he even offered to do the tummy tuck if I was not satisfied with the results minus the price I was already paying for vaser lipo. On my surgery date, I already had all of my necessary medications and was relaxed prior to starting the procedure. The procedure was completed on an outpatient basis, and I went home to rest immediately after. I followed the doctors orders with regards to diet, limiting physical exercise, and even watching certain documentaries. I returned for my first post-op lymphatic massage with Rema and I was surprised at the results after just a few days. The pinch test was no joke! Fast forward to today and I just completed my fourth lymphatic massage with Rema (I didn’t follow the exact scheduling recommendation initially) and I am mesmerized by the results. I am more confident and my clothes fit amazingly well, accentuating my curves. I could not have given myself a better birthday gift. pI am really big on self-care and would only recommend a provider that understands holistic health care and treating the whole person. Elite absolutely lives up to their name. I would highly recommend the this dynamic team to anyone seeking cosmetic or dermatological services.
Very pleased with the outcome of the procedure - I went to EliteMD after seeing Dr Sonya’s commercial on their liposuction procedure. I had just reached my weight goal but wanted to get rid of those pockets of stubborn fat areas that exercise and diet were not resolving. However, during my consultation with Dr Bansal, I expressed not wanting tummy tuck surgery and that I would like a little volume in my breast. We agreed on liposuction and fat transfer to the breast. I must say that my experience with EliteMD was way beyond my expectations. Dr Bansal and the entire staff gave me all the support I needed, pre-op and post op, to achieve the best results. With every post op visit with Dr Bansal it became less about the physical appearance and more about my whole self. He encourages a healthy lifestyle and the transformation of the whole person. I am very pleased with the outcome of the procedure and with my whole “Transformation!” Thank you Dr Bansal and the entire team. Dr Desvigne, Tricia, Rema, and the entire staff! Helen

He patiently explained that it’s imperative to bring in mind, body, and soul improvements to secure as much success as possible. Definitely not what I expected.He said:For my mind, fill it with knowledge of nutrition, activity, and positivity.

I am ready to dress this new body and continue to live life to the fullest! - Where do I begin? The vision I had for myself was turned into a reality with Elite MD. I’ve undergone two procedures with them, an eyelid lift and tummy tuck. Two decisions I do not regret! From the beginning, my experience with Elite MD has been nothing but positive. My first procedure was an eyelid lift as it impacted my vision. Needless to say, I am very happy with my results. No longer do I look as if I’m always in great thought!My biggest transformation has come from my tummy tuck with Dr. Bansal. He and his staff made me feel like family. As a seasoned, woman of color, not only was my outward appearance addressed, but my overall health (mind included) was a factor. It was also comforting to know my physician has knowledge and concern for patients with ethnic skin.My tummy tuck was on 12/17/2024 and I’m loving what I see. Dr. Bansal expressed my results will not solely come from him. Having a positive mind and healthy eating habits are also factors. I have found this to be true. Even my husband took heed to what Dr. Bansal said and has made changes to his eating habits. I can honestly say I have a great team behind me!Words cannot express how grateful I am to have undergone my transformation with Elite MD. The care and attention to detail are truly one of a kind. I am excited for the day when I’ve fully recovered. I am ready to dress this new body and continue to live life to the fullest!

How do I know if I need a full tummy tuck or a mini tummy tuck?
The choice between a full tummy tuck and a mini tummy tuck depends on the amount of excess skin and muscle laxity. A full tummy tuck is ideal for patients with significant skin sagging, muscle separation, or excess fat across the entire abdomen. This procedure tightens both the upper and lower abdominal area, often repositioning the belly button for a natural look. A mini tummy tuck is best for those with minimal skin laxity limited to the lower abdomen. It requires a smaller incision and typically does not involve muscle repair above the belly button. A consultation with Dr. Vivek Bansal at Elite MD can help determine which approach is right for your goals.
Will a tummy tuck help me lose weight?
A tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure but rather a body contouring surgery designed to remove excess skin and reshape the midsection. While some fat may be removed during the procedure, it is not a substitute for weight loss. Ideal candidates are at or near their goal weight but struggle with loose skin or muscle separation due to pregnancy, aging, or significant weight loss. Maintaining a stable weight before and after surgery helps ensure long-lasting results.
What will my scars look like after a tummy tuck?
Scarring depends on the type of tummy tuck performed. A full tummy tuck typically involves a hip-to-hip incision that is placed low on the abdomen so it can be concealed under clothing. A mini tummy tuck requires a smaller incision, usually just above the pubic area. Over time, scars fade and become less noticeable, especially with proper scar care and sun protection. Dr. Bansal carefully plans incisions to ensure the best possible cosmetic outcome.
Reveal A Sleek Silhouette
Many factors can lead to a drooping abdomen, leaving behind loose and wrinkled skin that many find bothersome. Often, surgery is the most effective solution to address this issue. If the excess skin in your abdominal area is a source of discomfort for you, Dr. Bansal's abdominoplasty in Danville, CA can give you the physique you desire. You're invited to reach out to Elite MD for further details and to explore how this procedure can transform your body.
