Introduction
About Tummy Tuck
Aging, child-bearing, or significant weight loss are often the culprits of loose, lax skin in the lower body. If this seems familiar, you’re not alone. The struggle to love your body can be long and complicated, impacting your daily life, activities, and outfits you used to love. The tummy tuck has helped many regain confidence by removing loose, excess fat and skin and tightening the underlying abdominal muscles. The result is a smoother-looking waistline that helps you feel like your best, most vital self.

Remove Loose Skin
A tummy tuck removes loose skin left over from weight loss or pregnancy. Removing this skin can help your clothing fit better, boost confidence, and reduce hygiene issues.
Tighten Abdominal Muscles
When your stomach expands with pregnancy or weight gain, it can stretch and separate the abdominal muscles, reducing their capability. A tummy tuck tightens them and brings them back together, providing better support.
Reduce Stubborn Fat
Many people carry fat in their stomachs, and despite diet and exercise, trying to lose fat in your abdomen can be incredibly frustrating. A tummy tuck can reduce this fat and create a slimmer figure.
Benefits of Tummy Tuck
How can we help you feel great about your decision?
Picture how a tummy tuck could bring about the change you want to see. Dr. Tehrani can help you understand more about how a tummy tuck can transform your relationship with your body. Here are some of the top benefits.
Feel Young Again
A tummy tuck may not seem like an anti-aging procedure, but it is. You might find that you enjoy better sleep, increased energy, higher libido, and higher self-confidence.
Strengthen Your Core
Exercise and healthy dieting alone don’t always produce results, especially if you’ve been subject to separated abdominal muscles. Tightening these loosened muscles can give you better support and reduce symptoms like back pain.
Improve Your Health
Shedding body fat can be difficult and frustrating, meaning a tummy tuck can help improve your health. Less body fat dramatically reduces your chances of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, sleep apnea, and more.

- Stop smoking a couple of days before and after the operation (ideally, do this months in advance).
- Avoid certain medications such as aspirins, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements that can increase bleeding. Before your procedure, you may be asked to take an anticoagulant to prevent blood clotting.
- Maintain a stable weight. Some weight fluctuations are fine, but drastic changes can impact your surgical plan.
- Arrange for travel plans to and from the hospital. Make sure a responsible adult can drive you home and care for you during the first 24 hours.
Traditional Tummy Tuck
The traditional tummy tuck is an all-in-one solution for abdominal concerns. It uses an incision across the pelvis to access underlying tissues and rejuvenate the upper, middle, and lower abdomen. It’s ideal for patients who have lost significant weight or undergone pregnancy.
Mini Tummy Tuck
The mini tummy tuck is an excellent solution for patients who don’t want significant downtime or who have only moderate concerns in the abdominal area. It uses a smaller incision in the pelvic area to address the lower abdomen only. It doesn’t involve muscle tightening but can remove stretched skin below the belly button.
Tummy Tuck Recovery
It’s extremely important not to rush your recovery – in fact, it’s the most important part of your tummy tuck journey. Even if you’re excited to see your final results, understand that everyone heals at their own pace. After the procedure, you’ll be given a compression garment to wear for six weeks. This helps control swelling and prevent fluid buildup. You may have drains placed to collect surplus liquids. Those are only temporary and will be removed within 2 weeks. Sutures will be removed in 2-3 weeks during a follow-up appointment. Avoid strenuous activity for six weeks, but take light walks around the house to improve blood flow and prevent complications. Above all, focus on getting adequate rest after your surgery. Dr. Tehrani will prescribe pain medications to help you rest – take these as instructed.
Within 4-6 weeks, you can begin to see your final result and feel the full impact of your new confidence.

VASER HI-DEF 4D Liposuction
Dr. Tehrani can improve your tummy tuck results by performing VASER HI-DEF 4D liposuction. This option is one of the most exciting high-tech liposuction techniques available today. It applies ultrasound emissions through a small cannula to break down and eliminate fat, sculpting the treated areas. Dr. Tehrani can sculpt your abdomen for the tight, flat look you’ve been working toward.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a common addition to tummy tuck for women who have undergone childbirth. Sometimes called a mommy makeover, this combination procedure can target two areas most commonly affected by pregnancy. You can enhance your flatter, more toned abdomen by combining noticeable breast projection for a balanced, feminine figure.
Gynecomastia Surgery
Gynecomastia can sometimes be the result of stubborn fat, impacting your confidence – especially when you also have stubborn fat in your abdomen. Gynecomastia surgery can be combined with a tummy tuck to flatten your chest and stomach for a more masculine look.
