Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) in Beverly, MD | Dr. Anoush Hadaegh, MD

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

Tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen while potentially tightening abdominal muscles. This surgical intervention helps patients achieve a smoother, more contoured abdominal profile.

Procedure Overview

During a tummy tuck, Dr. Hadaegh carefully removes unnecessary skin and fat, creating a more defined and toned abdominal area. The procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or post-pregnancy body changes.

Types of Tummy Tuck Procedures

• Full Tummy Tuck: Addresses the entire abdominal region
• Mini Tummy Tuck: Focuses on the lower abdominal area below the belly button

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck

Suitable candidates for tummy tuck surgery typically include:

• Individuals at or near their ideal body weight
• Patients with stable weight and good overall health
• Those with excess abdominal skin or weakened muscles
• Individuals who have completed childbearing

Surgical Considerations

Tummy tuck surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2-3 hours. The procedure involves creating an incision between the hip bones, removing excess tissue, and potentially tightening abdominal muscles to create a smoother contour.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect some initial soreness and swelling following the procedure. Most individuals can return to work within two weeks, though strenuous activities are restricted for approximately six weeks. Dr. Hadaegh provides personalized post-operative guidance to ensure optimal healing.

Combining Procedures

Many patients choose to combine tummy tuck with complementary procedures such as liposuction or breast surgeries to achieve comprehensive body contouring results. Dr. Hadaegh can discuss these options during your initial consultation.

Financial Considerations

Tummy tuck is typically considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by most insurance plans. Financing options are available to help patients manage the cost of their surgical treatment.
