Why Choose Tummy Tuck Surgery?

Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, is a transformative procedure aimed at improving the contour and appearance of the abdomen.

Dr. Sanam Zahedi offers this procedure to individuals looking to address excess skin, stubborn fat deposits, and weakened abdominal muscles, often resulting from pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging.

Excess skin and fat in the abdominal area can be challenging to address through diet and exercise alone. Tummy tuck surgery provides a solution by removing excess skin and fat, tightening the abdominal muscles, and creating a smoother, firmer abdominal contour.

Dr. Zahedi understands the physical and emotional toll that a protruding or sagging abdomen can have on self-confidence and quality of life, and works closely with patients to achieve their desired aesthetic goals.

Beyond the cosmetic benefits, tummy tuck surgery can also improve physical comfort and functionality. Patients often experience relief from back pain, improved posture, and increased mobility following the procedure.

With Dr. Zahedi’s expertise and personalized approach, patients can expect natural-looking results that enhance both their appearance and overall well-being.

Procedure: What To Expect?

Wondering what to expect during the Tummy Tuck procedure?

The tummy tuck surgery procedure typically involves several key steps to address specific concerns and achieve desired outcomes.

Before the surgery, Dr. Sanam Zahedi conducts a comprehensive consultation to assess the patient’s abdominal anatomy, discuss their goals, and address any questions or concerns they may have.

During the procedure, Dr. Zahedi carefully removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, tightens the underlying muscles, and repositions the navel to create a more sculpted and contoured appearance.

The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia, and patients can expect to spend several hours in the operating room.

After the surgery, patients will have some downtime to allow for proper healing. It’s essential to follow Dr. Zahedi’s post-operative instructions closely, including wearing compression garments and avoiding strenuous activities during the initial recovery period.

Patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications and proper rest.

Recovery: What You Need To Know

And what about recovery after a Tummy Tuck?

Recovery from tummy tuck surgery typically involves a downtime of 2 to 4 weeks, during which patients should avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting to allow the abdomen to heal properly.

It’s essential to listen to your body and avoid pushing yourself too hard during the recovery process.

Patients should also follow Dr. Sanam Zahedi’s recommendations for post-operative care, including proper wound care, wearing compression garments, and attending follow-up appointments to monitor progress and address any concerns.

As the swelling subsides and the incisions heal, patients will begin to see the full results of their tummy tuck surgery, with a flatter, firmer abdomen and improved body contour.

With patience and proper care, patients can enjoy long-lasting improvements in both their appearance and quality of life.

Tummy Tuck FAQ

~ Is tummy tuck after c section safe?

Yes, a tummy tuck after a C-section is safe. It can even help remove excess skin, tighten abdominal muscles, and improve the appearance of the C-section scar.

~ What are some of the risks of a tummy tuck?

Some risks of a tummy tuck include infection, bleeding, poor wound healing, or fluid accumulation under the skin (seroma). Other potential complications include scarring, numbness or changes in skin sensation, and blood clots. In rare cases, there may be issues with anesthesia or tissue necrosis.

~ What is the average cost of tummy tuck?

The cost of a tummy tuck varies based on individual circumstances, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This excludes anesthesia, facility fees, and other expenses. The final cost depends on the surgeon’s experience, the procedure type, and location. While most insurance plans don’t cover tummy tucks, many surgeons offer financing options.

~ What is the maximum BMI for surgery?

The maximum BMI for a mommy makeover or tummy tuck is under 35 to ensure patient safety and optimal outcomes.

~ What’s the difference between a liposuction tummy tuck and a regular tummy tuck?

A regular tummy tuck removes excess skin, tightens muscles, and addresses stretch marks, while a liposuction tummy tuck focuses on removing stubborn fat. Liposuction is best for those with tight muscles and smooth skin, as it doesn’t correct loose skin or muscle weakness.

~ Can I combine an overweight plus size tummy tuck with other procedures?

Yes, a tummy tuck for plus-size individuals can be combined with other procedures, like liposuction or breast surgery, for better results and shorter recovery. However, doing multiple surgeries at once increases risks, so it’s important to work with an experienced surgeon to ensure safe, successful outcomes.
