Tummy Tuck

One of the most rewarding procedures, abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, can give the patient something they cannot achieve through even the most rigorous exercise and diet program- a flat tummy.  Whether a result of pregnancy or weight gain and loss, the strain placed on the abdominal muscles as well as the skin can be reversed with this procedure. The best candidates for an abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, are patients who have loose skin and muscles as well as excess fat as a result of pregnancy or weight gain and loss.

During your consultation, Dr. Dadvand will discuss the abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, procedure in detail as well as what to expect after your tummy tuck operation.

Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes two to four hours to complete. The scar is placed as low as possible and typically extends between the hips. Not only is the excess skin and fat removed, but the muscles, which are usually loose as well, are tightened. Dr. Dadvand takes great pride in creating a new, more attractive belly-button during the tummy tuck operation. Dr. Dadvand frequently incorporates liposuction of the waist and flanks during his tummy tuck operation to give a more beautiful silhouette. Some patients who have their fullness or bulge only below the belly button may be candidates for a mini-tummy tuck. This procedure takes between one and two hours and typically has a shorter, lower scar than a traditional tummy tuck.
