Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck, Breast Implants & Breast Lift is what makes up a Beverly Hills Mommy Makeover
The desire to become a mom is such a strong emotional feeling. This most precious gift can create changes for a mother’s body which can be undesirable. The process of pregnancy leaves permanent effects on the breasts and abdomen. The breasts and abdomen become enlarged and then can become deflated and saggy. Dr. Thomas performs a duo-combo of Breast Enhancement and Tummy Tuck procedures on Patients coined “Mommy Makeover”. When combining these procedures Dr. Thomas can turn back the hands of time and give Patients back their pre-pregnancy bodies.
Components of a Mommy Makeover
Breasts Enhancements – Implants & Lift
Pregnancy and breast feeding often take a toll on the breasts causing a loss of substance and severe sagging. This overall deflation is mainly due to a loss of baby weight and breast tissue, and an inability of the overstretched skin to shrink. A Mommy Makeover can include two types of Breast Enhancement: Breast Lift (Mastopexy) and Breast Augmentation (Silicone or Saline).
Mastopexy (Breast Lift) - Dr. Thomas performs anchor incision Breast Lifts which removes the excessive loose skin and lifts the breasts and nipples to their original youthful position. Stitching is done underneath the skin with absorbable sutures, so there are no stitches to be removed.
Breast Augmentation (Breast Implants) - When Dr. Thomas performs Breast Augmentation, whether with silicone or saline implants, his goal is to restore the youthful breast size, shape, feel and prefers the implants be placed under the chest muscle as this creates a more natural shape and feel.
Tummy
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) – As the baby grows, it stretches the abdominal skin and also thins out and weakens the abdominal muscles pushing out the inner organs, creating the typical after pregnancy tummy bulge. Abdominoplasty is the procedure which removes the excess skin and tightens the overstretched and weakened muscles restoring the pre-pregnancy figure. Dr. Thomas performs an advanced technique of a Tummy Tuck he named “High Lateral TensionTummy Tuck” which creates a tighter, shapelier, and more feminine abdomen and waistline.

Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck – Plastic Surgeon Ivan Thomas featured on ABC 7
Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Ivan Thomas has won numerous awards one of which is the most prestigious in Los Angeles county’s city of Lancaster. This award is Best Plastic Surgeon, voted by the people several years in a row and in 2009.
Dr. Thomas has performed 1000’s of plastic surgery procedures, over the past 28 years, in his fully certified surgery center in Beverly Hills California. Dr. Thomas is known by his patients for his impeccable care and advanced surgical techniques.
Most importantly he is known to produce the best results for his advanced Tummy Tuck procedure called the “High Lateral Tension Tummy Tuck.” So much so, that it grabbed the attention of ABC’s medical reporter Denise Dador and she committed to reporting a special “Healthy Living Segment” on why Dr. Thomas’ Tummy Tucks are so successful. In the 1/2 segment Denise Dador reveals plastic surgery misconceptions, of which she featured Dr. Thomas as the expert plastic surgeon in misconceptions about Tummy Tucks and Liposuction. There is the typical misconception is that Tummy Tucks and Liposuction are forms of weight loss.
Dr. Thomas has been doing Tummy Tuck and reconstructive surgery for nearly 30 years. He says the secret to figuring out if you’re a tummy-tuck candidate is to perform what Dr. Thomas calls a “push test.” A push test is a way to see if his patients are candidates for Tummy Tuck or if they need to continue to loose weight.
In this ABC 7 “Healthy Living Segment”, Annette Wise, a tummy tuck patient talks about what she went through before she was actually ready to have her Tummy Tuck procedure. For more on the story read the special report <<click here>> or watch the segment.

Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck
Beverly Hills tummy tuck specialist Ivan Thomas, M.D., is a Beverly Hills board-certified plastic surgeon, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He has been seen on a Women’s Health Special on ABC Channel 7, and a Mommy Makeover special on KCAL 9 and has been featured in newspapers and magazines across Los Angeles county.
Known for his High Lateral Tension Tummy, an advanced technique of Tummy Tuck, Dr. Thomas explains to viewers Tummy Tuck, or abdominoplasty as the procedure is known to surgeons.
One of the most frequently performed surgical procedures, next to breast augmentation and breast implants, a tummy tuck is a safe and effective way to rejuvenate your body in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles area.
Tummy Tucks are for men and woman patients with bulging stomach muscles and loose overhanging skin. We find more and more men wanting tummy tucks turn to Dr. Ivan Thomas.
Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck and Liposuction Procedures
The high lateral tension Tummy Tuck does not only suture the muscles vertically it also addresses laxity in the muscles horizontally. Dr. Thomas also removes the extra skin in a tummy tuck. Dr. Thomas also uses liposuction to sculpture the abdominal area. The Tummy Tuck Scar is can be hidden in the bikini line where any garment or a bathing suit covers it. The liposuction scars are not visible because the instrument used to suction out the fat is very small.
When is a tummy tuck right for you:
- If you do not plan on having any more children.
- If you have undergone gastric by-pass or Lap Band surgery and you have loose and overhanging skin and bulging stomach muscles.
- If you do not have intro abdominal fat (fat inside and around the organs). Tummy Tuck is not a form of weight of loss. Tummy Tuck is effective for patients who have lost the internal weight and are looking to improve upon their outer layers like skin and muscles.
Liposuction of the inner/outer thighs, flanks, and hips in conjunction with the tummy tuck, will add pleasing contours to your body and will compliment the Tummy Tuck procedure.
Complimentary Consultations
Consultations are complimentary with Dr. Ivan Thomas. You can call to schedule a consultation or email the Doctor to discuss the procedure you always wanted.

- Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck – Shakira
- Beverly Hills Tummy Tuck -Beyonce Knowles
When you think of big Hollywood stars like Brittany Spears, Beyonce Knowles, Shikira and all their the fabulously flat tummy’s in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles & Hollywood. One question comes to mind… How did they get such flat tight tummy’s with such cute Belly Buttons?
Most belly buttons are hidden underneath a layer of fat and loose skin. Especially after extreme weight gain and loss and or childbirth. On the other hand some people never had a flat tight Tummy ever since childhood. Genetics plays a huge roll in the making of a Belly Button. Dr. Thomas can defy the gene pool with one of the most common plastic surgery procedures. The Tummy Tuck.
At Dr. Ivan Thomas’ practice everyone who has received his advanced Tummy Tuck called the High Lateral Tension Tummy Tuck, where stomach muscles are stitched together in an advance criss-cross vector, gets not only a flat tight tummy but they also receive that sought after celebrity Belly Button.
How does Dr. Thomas achieve this for his patients? During the Tummy Tuck operation Dr. Thomas will make an incision from hip bone to hip bone, similar to a C-section incision but a bit longer. The incision is longer because the loose skin must be traced to where it begins. The loose skin must be lifted away from the body. When the skin is lifted the old umbilicus (belly button) opening must be cut away from the umbilicus, so that the muscles can be sutured together in a flat manner. Then the loose skin must be pulled down in a conservative manner. This is why Dr. Thomas’ Tummy Tucks always look so natural and heal so nicely. Once the skin is pulled down the old fatty, loose, belly button opening is pulled down below the pubis, giving Dr. Thomas a newly smooth and tight skin surface to work with. A new belly button hole is then made in the newly pulled down skin and re-attached to the old umbilicus at it’s normal level.
The newly tightened and flattened tummy is a result of Dr. Thomas’ 28 years of experience in combination with his highly advanced Tummy Tuck technique. Patients love their new Beverly Hills Belly Buttons & Beverly Hills Tummy Tucks and can now wear the bikinis the midriffs and enjoy their results for years to come.
