Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, removes loose skin and excess fat from the abdomen while repairing and tightening separated abdominal muscles. It delivers dramatic results, especially for women after pregnancy and for patients after major weight loss.

In many cases it is combined with liposuction to refine the flanks and waistline for a seamless, natural result.

Articles about this procedure

Abdominoplasty Cost in Tehran: What the Bill Really Contains The cost of an abdominoplasty is the sum of separate lines: surgeon, anesthesia, hospital, tests, garment and medication. An advertised figure may include only some of them, so compare two quotes line by line rather than by the total alone.Extended vs Fleur-de-Lis Abdominoplasty: When Vertical Is Needed An extended abdominoplasty carries the incision toward the flanks to remove tissue beside the hips. Fleur-de-lis adds a vertical incision for skin loose both across and along the abdomen, typically after major weight loss.Mini Abdominoplasty: What It Is and Who Is Truly a Candidate A mini abdominoplasty removes only skin and fat below the navel. A good candidate has stable weight and laxity confined to the lower belly; loose skin above the navel or a wide muscle gap usually needs a full tummy tuck.Abdominoplasty With a Cesarean: Why Most Surgeons Say No Combining abdominoplasty with a cesarean is technically done at some centers, but most surgeons avoid it: the abdominal wall is still swollen and changing, and combining two major surgeries raises bleeding, infection, and clotting risk.
