Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery

A Tummy Tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat while tightening weakened abdominal muscles. This transformative surgery helps individuals achieve a firmer, more contoured abdominal profile.

Who Benefits from a Tummy Tuck?

Ideal candidates for a Tummy Tuck include individuals who:

Have stable body weight
Possess excess abdominal skin or fat resistant to diet and exercise
Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
Are in good overall health

The Surgical Procedure

Dr. Majidian performs Tummy Tuck surgery under general anesthesia, typically lasting two to five hours. The procedure involves carefully removing excess skin and fat, repairing weakened abdominal muscles, and reshaping the waistline to create a more toned appearance.

Surgical Technique

The surgical approach includes:

Horizontal incision above the pubic hairline
Strategic removal of excess skin and fat
Muscle repair and tightening
Potential liposuction for refined contouring

Recovery and Results

Recovery typically spans 2-3 weeks, with patients experiencing gradual improvement in abdominal contour. Wearing a compression garment and following post-operative instructions are crucial for optimal healing and results.

Long-Term Outcomes

Tummy Tuck results are long-lasting when maintained through a healthy lifestyle, including consistent exercise and balanced nutrition. Patients can expect a significantly improved abdominal profile that enhances body confidence.

Potential Considerations

While Tummy Tuck offers remarkable body transformation, patients should understand that future weight fluctuations or pregnancies can impact surgical results. Consulting with Dr. Majidian will help determine the most appropriate timing for the procedure.
