What is Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is cosmetic surgery that tightens the abdomen’s appearance by surgically removing excess fat and skin. A tummy tuck surgery helps you achieve a slimmer overall appearance in the abdominal area. This major cosmetic surgery uses a minimally invasive laparoscopic technique with small incisions. The procedure mainly involves removing excess loose skin, fat and stretch marks and tightening the abdominal muscles. Tummy tuck surgery aims to remove excess skin on the tummy that cannot be removed through exercise and dieting. The excess skin and fat may have been caused by pregnancy or losing a lot of weight. Tummy tuck is not a quick fix for losing weight as surgeons usually only recommend it for people with a healthy body mass index (BMI). A tummy tuck can help you feel more confident and comfortable in your body. Click here and get a free consultation
Tummy Tuck Step by Step in Iran
1. Consultation for your Tummy Tuck
During the consultation you discuss your medical history and your candidacy for a tummy tuck. The surgeon answers any questions that you may have. At this session, you will also have your body and mind fully examined. This helps your surgeon detect any potential condition and see if you are a fit candidate. If you have additional weight or a medical condition that makes the surgery dangerous, the surgeon may give you the necessary instructions.
2. The Tummy Tuck Surgery in Iran
There are two types of abdominoplasty procedures: a mini-abdominoplasty and a complete abdominoplasty. A mini-abdominoplasty requires a smaller incision and less time than a complete abdominoplasty. In a mini-abdominoplasty, the surgeon do not relocate the belly button. He/she removes the fat only from the lower portion of the abdomen. Most tummy tuck candidates require a complete abdominoplasty to get the results they desire. During your tummy tuck surgery, you will be asleep under general anesthesia. The surgeon will repair stretched abdominal muscles and eliminate excess fat. Next, he/she removes the loose and sagging portion of your skin. Then the surgeon relocates your belly button. Your tummy tuck surgery will last about 2-3 hours. But, a tummy tuck procedure could take longer depending on other procedures performed such as liposuction.

Why should I undergo a Tummy Tuck?
There are several types of reasons why you may need to consider a tummy tuck including:
- Getting rid of excess skin and fat from the abdomen
- Gaining a better and reshaped tummy contour
- Restructuring the muscles of the abdominal wall to reshape the abdomen
- Improving sagging and loose skin on your abdomen area
- Tightening abdominal muscles
- Lack of confidence due to the appearance of your abdomen
What are Different Types of Tummy Tuck?
No two patients share the exact same goals. Your cosmetic surgeon will recommend the type of tummy tuck that will achieve your desired outcome with the least scarring possible.
Standard or Full Tummy Tuck
This is the most common tummy tuck procedure performed. Standard tummy tuck, aka “full tummy tuck”, is ideal for individuals who seek to flatten the abdomen both right above and below the belly button. Standard tummy tuck is extremely common in Iran for women who have gone through pregnancy and childbirth. The following is a brief description of a tummy tuck procedure:
- In a standard tummy tuck, the surgeon makes a horizontal incision between the hips and around the belly button.
- Then he/she removes excess skin and tissue.
- The full tummy tuck procedure concludes with the surgeon repositioning the belly button and closing the incision with sutures.
Full tummy tucks are suitable for healthy people who have excessive midsection skin and/or weakening of the abdominal muscles. Surgeons perform the full tummy tuck procedures under general anesthesia. Most patients require about a 2-week recovery period before resuming normal activities.
Mini Tummy Tuck
A mini tummy tuck is a less invasive procedure, but provides the same great results as a traditional tummy tuck. A mini tummy tuck involves a much smaller incision just above the pubic area and doesn’t need the belly button to be repositioned. Due to mini tummy tuck’s smaller incision, scarring is more limited. You can conceal the scars by undergarments or a bathing suit. And other benefits of a mini tummy tuck include a a quicker recovery, and a flatter, slimmer lower abdomen that looks better in fitted clothing. Due to mini tummy tuck is a less invasive technique, surgeons can do your mini tummy tuck procedure under twilight anesthesia. Most patients require less than 1 week to fully recover.
Extended Tummy Tuck
To perform a circumferential lower body lift, the surgeon creates a horizontal incision. The incision stretches across the lower belly along with a vertical incision through the belly button. It allows the surgeon to tighten more abdominal muscles. Then, the surgeon uses liposuction to remove fat around the lower back and hips and contour those areas. The procedure concludes when the surgeon repositions the belly button and then closes the incisions. Because the extended tummy tuck procedure is more invasive, patients typically should spend one night in the hospital in for recovery. Of all the tummy tuck techniques, this cosmetic surgery technique is most invasive. But, this technique also provides the most dramatic results. The scar from an extended tummy tuck can be hidden by clothing, but it may not be entirely covered for some patients.
Reverse Tummy Tuck
A reverse abdominoplasty involves the upper portion, just below the breasts. Some patients’ upper torsos have loose skin or extra fatty tissue. Surgeons do reverse tummy tucks with one long incision or two small ones underneath the breast. Then, they remove excess skin and fat and tuck upwards toward the breast area. Reverse tummy tuck is an ideal partner with a mini tummy tuck in for an overall reshaping in the midsection area. Also it is an option to do with breast augmentation Due to where the surgeons make incision in reverse tummy tucks, they can do these cosmetic procedures at the same time.

How can I Get rid of the Remained Scaring after surgery?
One of the side effects of a tummy tuck surgery is scaring. While the scars keep getting better by time, it will not fade away totally. There are several ways to remove the marks of scaring after a tummy tuck:
-
Surgical procedure
This is the most invasive choice as it involves a surgery to remove scar signs. During the procedure, a surgeon might reduce the size of a wide scar or take skin from another body part and place it over the area with unwanted scarring.
-
Laser scar removal
Laser scar removal is an effective, non–surgical option for treating scar marks. This method uses intense light to reduce the size, color, and shape of a scar and thus make is less visible.
-
Chemical peels.
A dermatologist applies a chemical solution on the area of your skin with scarring. After removing the peel, a layer of skin lifts away to leave a smoother layer of skin. Chemical peels require multiple treatment sessions and are best solution for surface–level scars.
Other scar treatment option:
- Dermabrasion uses a machine to smoothen the top layer of your skin. This can help improve the appearance of wrinkles, acne, and scars from accidents and previous surgery (in this case your tummy tuck procedure)
- Steroid injections can reduce the size of the scar and make it even with the surface of your skin. There are also other injection options including dermal fillers or collagen, which fill in the area around a deep scar to improve its appearance.
- Creams and ointments are also a good solution to remove minor scarring. You can ask a dermatologist to prescribe effective scar treatment gels. Note that the results are not as dramatic as other treatment options
- Tattoo is almost the best way to get rid of surgical scars. In this way, the tattoo can draw the scar marks into the edges of a tattoo to minimize their look on skin

Tummy tuck Versus Liposuction
Abdominoplasty and liposuction are two very similar, but different surgical procedures that aim to change the appearance of your midsection. In below you can read the main features that are common between the two surgery types:
- Tummy tuck and Liposuction both procedures claim to make your stomach appear flatter, tighter, and smaller.
- Both surgeries are performed by plastic surgeons, and are both cosmetic and reconstructive
On contrary, the main difference between the two medical abdominal procedures are as follows:
- If you’re trying to get rid of some stubborn fat areas on your body rather than excess or loose skin, then liposuction might be right for you. However, if your trouble is excess skin or stretch marks as a result of rapid weight loss or pregnancy, then a tummy tuck might be the better option.
- Liposuction removes small fat deposits in the body found on the hips, thighs, bottom or stomach.
- A tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin, which cannot be fixed with diet and exercise
Obviously, Whatever procedure you decide to choose, you shouldn’t make the decision without the assistance of an experienced plastic surgeon. Feel free to contact our consultants for FREE if you have any further question.
Tummy Tuck and BBL
Have you ever thought about boosting the size of your buttock while reducing fat from your abdomen? In fact, there are many women complaining about excess fat in their belly and their undesirable buttock size. For these women, a combination of tummy tuck and BBL seems a dazzling choice. During this procedure, your surgeon starts by suctioning out excess fat from abdominal area. Next, he/she purifies the fat cells so only healthy cells remain. Then, the extracted fat can be injected into your buttock to both add size and create a shapelier butt contour.
Body Lift and Tummy tuck
Tummy tuck is considered an insuperable part of body lift surgery. The procedure can lift and tone the abdominal area of the body.

Tummy Tuck Belt
Tummy tuck belt, also known as the 10-Minute At-Home Tummy Tuck Method, is a non-medical device that claims to burn abdominal fat without any surgery. This method uses an “accelerator cream” and a “tummy tuck belt” (essentially an elastic compression bandage) to create a slimmer waist and abdomen. An abdominal belt can gradually help tone and shape the belly muscles, tighten loose muscles, and reduce unwanted fat. However, note that the results of a tummy tuck belt are not as effective as a surgical tummy tuck.
Tummy with Muscle Repair
It is so common to perform muscle repair during a tummy tuck procedure that it is almost considered as an integral part of the procedure. In a muscle-repair tummy tucks, the surgeon pulls the separated muscles together and sutures inside the connective tissues to hold them in place. This creates a significant change in the muscle structure of the abdominal area.

Can I get a tummy tuck and a c-section at the same time?
The immediate period after having a C-section is NOT a good time for this cosmetic surgery and plastic surgeons don’t recommend it. Most patients decide to wait until another time to have the tummy tuck.
Can tummy tuck remove stretch marks?
Yes, a full tummy tuck can remove stretch marks resulting from weight loss or pregnancy.
Can you get a C-section after your tummy tuck?
It is recommended that you wait 6-12 months after your C-Section to ensure that you have properly recovered from that surgery. After healing from your C-section you are free to undergo a tummy tuck in case it is necessary.
What happens to your belly button during your tummy tuck?
In most cases of full tummy tuck, the belly button stays in place, and only the surrounding skin moves. The tummy tuck incision is made low on the abdomen, and the abdominal skin is lifted.
