Sculpted, Confident, and Customized to You

A tummy tuck does more than flatten your stomach. By removing excess skin, tightening separated muscles, and refining your waistline, it restores the core strength and definition that pregnancy, weight changes, and aging can take away. Dr. Brian Shafa approaches every abdominoplasty as a custom procedure, matching the technique to your anatomy and goals rather than applying one method to everyone. The result is a firmer, more contoured midsection that looks natural and lasts. Your consultation begins with a clear, honest conversation about what's possible for your body.

My name is Diana, I’m 6 weeks post op for a mommy make over with Dr. Shafa. He did an AMAZING job. My abdomen is tighter and more toned than when I was younger. My breast implants look so natural and feel great. No pain whatsoever after surgery and not a single pain killer was necessary. The staff was great and Dr. Shafa answered all my questions, checked in on me when I was home and was always available for any questions I had. He provided me his cell phone number and always had a quick response...

I'm grateful to have come across Dr. Shafa. He provided me with outstanding care for my breast replacement and Lipo suction 360. I am so happy that I went with him instead of a different surgeon. Him and his Beverly Hills staff took great care of me. They provided excellent communication with me every step of the way. I loved how they check in with me via phone calls and text. They also provided speedy responses whenever I had questions or concerns. During and after my surgery I felt I was in the...

Dr. Shafa is a class act from consultation to post-op! I have wanted to have SmartLipo done on my neck and jawline for a long time now and after spending many hours doing my research on the procedure and doctors who performed it; I found Dr. Shafa. My consultation was informative and at the same time, he made me feel at ease while sharing one of my biggest insecurities. On the day of my procedure, I expected some anxiety while on the operating table. (It was my first time having surgery.) But to ...

Everyone here is simply amazing. Always so kind and caring. They helped save my life and I am forever grateful.

We look forward to meeting you

Types of Tummy Tucks: Which Is Right for You?

Dr. Shafa customizes every tummy tuck procedure based on your anatomy and goals — each abdominoplasty in Beverly Hills is uniquely tailored for natural, sculpted results.

Standard Tummy Tuck: Ideal for post-pregnancy or weight loss. Tightens muscles and removes excess skin from the lower abdomen.
Extended Tummy Tuck: Targets "love handles" and flanks. Ideal for major weight loss patients.
Mini Tummy Tuck: For those with minimal sagging below the belly button. Less invasive with a shorter recovery.
Reverse Tummy Tuck: Focuses on skin tightening above the belly button, often paired with breast procedures.
HD Tummy Tuck: This advanced procedure combines a traditional tummy tuck with high-definition liposuction to remove excess fat and sculpt the abdominal muscles for a more defined, athletic look.

What are the Benefits of an Abdominoplasty Procedure?

Whether due to pregnancy, weight changes, or aging, the abdominal area can lose firmness and definition over time. A tummy tuck addresses these concerns by removing excess skin and fat, tightening underlying muscles, and enhancing overall contour.

Removes excess fat and skin: Eliminates the “muffin top,” love handles, and lower belly bulge.
Repairs abdominal muscles: Strengthens separated or weakened muscles (common after childbirth).
Defines your waistline: Accentuates a natural hourglass figure for a balanced shape.
Improves belly button appearance: Corrects misshapen, stretched, or “sad” belly buttons.
Reduces stretch marks: Especially those below the belly button area.
