Having a beautiful and fit body a flat stomach with firm skin is the desire of every person who cares about their beauty and fitness. People’s nutrition and lifestyle have made it very difficult to achieve a good body shape. Today, with the development of modern clinical methods, this goal can be easily achieved. One of the modern methods that have been able to attract the attention of many people in this regard is called abdominoplasty or Tommy Tuck. Abdominoplasty (Tommy Tuck) is a surgical procedure in which excess fat and skin from the abdomen are removed and muscles that have weakened over time become tighter. The result of this surgery is having a flat and small abdomen.
Abdominoplasty is an invasive cosmetic procedure in which candidates can see the final positive results immediately after treatment and achieve their ideal body forever if the necessary tips and care are followed. You can also take advantage of abdominoplasty if you are also thinking of getting rid of excess fat that has accumulated around your abdomen and hips but are not able to do hard exercise and diet.
Abdominoplasty is one of the most popular surgical procedures for women, especially women who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their abdomen after childbirth. Abdominal cosmetic surgery or abdominoplasty is recommended when a woman does not achieve the desired result despite exercise and diet. Even many women who are at an ideal body weight may have a bulging abdomen. In Tommy Tuck surgery, the abdominal area will be smooth, without bumps or wrinkles, by removing excess fat and skin and tightening the muscles in the abdominal wall.
Although you may choose liposuction with this surgery to eliminate abdominal obesity, abdominoplasty is not like liposuction and is different. Because the purpose of liposuction is only to remove fat, during which the loose skin or abdominal muscles are not repaired. It is even possible that the skin does not shrink well after liposuction and does not return to its original state, but in abdominoplasty, the appearance of the abdomen changes completely and this area becomes narrower and more beautiful.
In abdominoplasty surgery, the area of the abdomen that has lost its original shape due to weight gain or weight loss, pregnancy, or loss of skin elasticity can regain its firm, well-proportioned tissue. During the operation, the abdominal muscles tighten and the loose skin and excess fat are removed to create a slimmer and shapelier belly. During Tommy Tuck surgery, the main abdominal muscle, weak or detached muscles that were stretched or deformed during pregnancy, return to their original position. The results of abdominoplasty surgery show an increase in control and strength of the bladder and abdominal muscles and a decrease in back pain.
Tommy Tuck surgery is one of the most common treatments for both men and women, especially those whose body has undergone significant changes due to weight loss or other changes such as pregnancy. After pregnancy or weight loss, loose skin and excess fat in the abdomen are very common. This sagging skin may be resistant to diet and exercise and may not be easily removed by these methods. As mentioned, abdominoplasty is suitable for a wide range of men and women, including:
Pregnancy usually has unpleasant side effects such as loosening of the skin and detachment of the abdominal muscles, especially if a woman has given birth several times or has had a cesarean delivery. Usually, postpartum diet and exercise are not enough to strengthen the abdominal muscles and shrink the abdomen. One of the reasons for this is the weakening of the abdominal muscles and the loss of elasticity of the skin, especially after several deliveries. In this situation, abdominoplasty surgery is probably the best treatment option to restore the initial condition of the abdomen before pregnancy. Some women have the chance to use a combination of several cosmetic procedures such as Tommy Tuck, liposuction and breast augmentation.
Of course, it should be noted that if you are a woman who is still planning to have a baby, this surgery may not be suitable for you and you should probably postpone it until after childbirth, because during this surgery, your abdominal muscles tighten and If you become pregnant in the future, these muscles may separate and cause a hernia. Also, if you are still trying to lose a lot of weight, you should wait until your weight stabilizes and reaches the right amount and do not do abdominoplasty before that.
All types of Abdominoplasty (Tommy Tuck) surgery are done under general Anesthesia in equipped hospitals.
Full abdominoplasty is suitable for people who need the most correction and changes in the abdomen. In this procedure, an incision is made in the lower abdomen and across the pelvis. During a complete abdominoplasty, the umbilicus is moved and the skin is pulled down to tighten the abdominal muscles vertically from the breastbone to the lower pelvis. Totally, Full abdominoplasty includes muscle tightening and navel reposition as following:
In this operation, the maximum amount of excess skin and fat are removed. This surgery is useful for people who want to change their shape and eliminate obesity. During the operation, the doctor operates on the skin and muscles that need to be reshaped and repaired. Incisions are also made around the umbilicus to remove excess tissue. The doctor also inserts tubes under the skin to remove excess fluid from the affected area after the operation, and removes them after a few days.
In Mini abdominoplasty method, the cuts are shorter and smaller. This surgery is often performed on people who have fat deposits and a position of obesity below the navel. During this procedure, the umbilicus is unlikely to move and the abdominal skin between the incision line and the umbilicus is surgically removed and the excess is removed. Mini abdominoplasty includes correction of lower abdomen as following:
This type of operation may be done differently with an endoscope (a long tube with a small camera at the end). Depending on physical condition and other factors, surgery may take up to two hours. As with full abdominoplasty, mini abdominoplasty may use tubes to remove excess tissue fluid from the area.
Mini-abdominoplasty focuses on removing excess skin in the area below the navel and is the best option for people who are looking to shape and reshape their lower abdomen and do not need to strengthen the abdominal muscles. In this method, the umbilicus is usually not displaced and the muscles tighten less, the incisions are smaller, resulting in a smaller scar and a shorter recovery period.
Abdominoplasty 360 is combines circumferential liposuction of the trunk (back, hips/flanks, and abdomen) with a tummy tuck for a truly dramatic re-contouring and restoration of the entire mid-section. When there is excess fat in the back as well as the abdomen, back liposuction or abdominoplasty around the abdomen is called Abdominoplasty 360 in which in addition to removing fat from the pelvis and back, excess skin is removed. It will correct and improve the shape of the body.
Reverse abdominoplasty surgery is suitable after sudden and excessive weight loss or having extra skin on the upper abdomen. In this operation, an incision is made under the breast bone under the breasts instead of below or near the navel and the skin is pulled upwards instead of being pulled down, and extra tissue is removed from this area. Reverse abdominoplasty focuses on removing excess skin and fat from the upper abdomen and does not tighten the muscles in the lower layer in any way.
The scars (wound effects) caused by this operation remain hidden under the chest. In addition, in reverse abdominoplasty, the risk of complications is minimized because blood flow is not disturbed much.
It does not matter which type of abdominoplasty procedure is right for you, it is important to remember that in this procedure, the excess skin and fat in the abdomen area is removed and the abdominal wall muscles are tightened if necessary. The extent of the procedure requires a long recovery period, so it is important for the surgeon to minimize the risk of bleeding and other side effects as much as possible. For this reason, in the pre-abdominoplasty consultation session, you will be given instructions that you must follow.
Your medical history and the medications and supplements you take will be discussed at the consultation. It is very important for the surgeon to assess your health, so plastic surgeon will monitor your condition carefully to prevent complications such as thrombosis (blood clots in the arteries that can lead to serious complications).Your surgeon may ask you to follow these instructions in the days before surgery
If you are physically active and exercising, you should give up four to six weeks of strenuous exercise. Your doctor may also give you a month off to fully recover. Before abdominal surgery, your doctor will give you preoperative instructions. It is very important that you follow these instructions carefully to get the best results from your surgery. It is recommended to wait until you reach your ideal weight and then have an abdominoplasty.
The person seeking abdominoplasty surgery should generally be in relatively good physical health. Women applying for this operation should also resort to this treatment after childbirth or when they no longer intend to have children to prevent further stretching of the abdominal muscles during pregnancy. Smoking can increase postoperative complications and delay recovery. If you smoke, you will have to quit for a period of time specified by your doctor. Of course, just not smoking is not enough, and you should avoid all types of chewing gum and nicotine labels and e-cigarettes for at least two weeks before surgery and two weeks after surgery.
Make sure you get proper and complete meals. Before the operation, try not to eat a heavy diet because proper nutrition plays an essential role in recovery. As part of preoperative counseling, your doctor may order that you stop taking certain medications and supplements for a period of time before and after surgery. Some medication that contains aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen / naproxen sodium should not be taken at least two weeks before surgery. Using hormones or herbal supplements and diet pills should be stopped too. This also applies to medicines.
Iran is a great destination for Abdominoplasty abroad because of high skilled and experienced plastic surgeons that have high surgery success rates. The number of cosmetic surgeries in the world is 0.2% of the world’s population, while the number of cosmetic surgeries in Iran is 1% of the population. This means that in Iran, cosmetic surgery is performed 5 times more than the global average. According to the report of the International Association of Plastic Surgery, Iran was ranked 20th in 2016 in terms of the number of cosmetic surgeries performed.
So, lots of successful portfolios, using advanced techniques, professional nursing system, and complete patient guidance before and after surgery distinguish Iranian as one of the best destination for cosmetic surgeries.
Abdominoplasty in Iran is more affordable than anywhere in the world. In terms of costs of Tummy tuck, there is a dramatic difference between Iran and other countries. While the Abdominoplasty costs in the US and Europe is almost 8,300 $, and in Turkey about $ 4,000, the average of Tummy tuck cost ranges from 2,400 $ to 3,700$ based on the surgeon’s reputation and level of expertise, the complexity of the procedure, hospital and anesthesia, pre op tests, consultation, medication during hospitalization, checkup, follow up and compression garments. Iran provides the lowest fee for Tummy tuck surgery and this is mainly because of the low value of the Iranian currency (IRR) and due to its very affordable price, many people from all over the world travel to Iran every year to undergo Tummy tuck surgery.
It should be noted that individual brochures based on the patient / client plan, including pre- and post-operative instructions, as well as the necessary information and processes for further follow-up are provided to you. During your stay in Iran, the translators of Nora Health Tour fully support you 24/7 and will happily help you to resolve any concerns or ambiguities that may arise for you.
It depends on your doctor’s approval and your individual case; you might need to spend 1 to 3 night in the hospital.
The person will usually not feel much pain during abdominoplasty because the surgery is performed under anesthesia.
Of course. Tummy tuck is safe and will solve many of your body problems. Significant size reduction is one of the main benefits of this operation.
The cost of abdominoplasty depends on where you perform the procedure and the type of abdominoplasty. You may have costs after the operation or you may want to do it in combination with another operation, in which case the costs will vary.
In this operation, as in all other surgeries, there is always the possibility of infection and if left untreated, it can spread to the whole body. Symptoms of infection include:
Keeping wounds clean and changing clothes regularly can reduce the risk of infection.
It depends on one factor: the amount of loose skin you have on your abdomen. If there is a lot of extra skin in the abdomen and the abdominal muscles are weak, you can remove the excess skin and tighten the abdominal muscles by performing abdominoplasty. On the other hand, if your skin is loose, you have little extra fat and your abdominal muscles are strong, you can use liposuction. In addition, liposuction can be performed simultaneously with abdominoplasty to better shape the body. Consulting with a skilled and experienced doctor can be very helpful in choosing the right treatment and achieving your goals.
Because the incisions made in mini-abdominoplasty are much smaller and smaller, many people want to know if they are a good volunteer to do it. Unfortunately, mini-abdominoplasty is not a good option for everyone. When choosing your procedure, keep in mind that mini-abdominoplasty is not suitable for stretching and shrinking the skin, but it can only treat a small area above the pubic ridge and below the navel. Excessive stretching of the skin can cause more scarring. Mini-abdominoplasty cannot cure skin cracks or separation of the abdominal muscles above the umbilicus. On the other hand, with complete abdominoplasty, the separation of the abdominal muscles can be treated and the extra skin above and below the navel can be removed. In principle, these two actions are completely different from each other. You can choose the most appropriate abdominoplasty procedure by consulting your doctor.
Yes, it can be done to a certain extent. To treat skin cracks, the affected part of the skin must be removed. This means that you need to have a certain amount of loose skin for this to be possible. In general, the skin cracks below the navel can be removed, but the skin cracks above the navel can not be removed either. Because the skin is pulled in this operation, skin cracks may also heal.
Yes! If you can maintain your weight over time, abdominoplasty is typically performed once and done! There is no need to do it again. Over the decades, your skin will age a bit, but it mostly never gets back to the looseness, you experienced before tummy tuck surgery.
