What is abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty in Iran is a surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and flanks to achieve a beautiful and fit body.
Abdominoplasty surgeries are often associated with other procedures, such as liposuction, umbilical cord replacement, and abdominal muscle tightening.

Over time, the body naturally falls off and loses skin and muscle firmness, and the abdomen is no exception.
The abdomen can change in appearance due to fluctuations in weight, pregnancy and aging.
The skin may become loose, the abdomen may appear sagging, and excess fat may cause the body to deviate, make it difficult to wear certain clothes, and also have a negative effect on self-esteem.

Abdominoplasty surgery can be performed to correct sagging, tightening of the skin and muscles.

Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck surgery is usually combined with other procedures.

Abdominal stretching is usually performed at the same time as liposuction.

The applicant undergoes general anesthesia at all stages of the operation.

The incision is customized to achieve the individual goals of the applicant, but in general an incision in abdominoplasty is always fixed, a horizontal incision from the left side to the right side.

Abdominoplasty is suitable for people who do not have obesity

Because abdominoplasty is not a practical way to lose weight

It is a practical way to remove sagging skin caused by weight loss

Therefore, obese people should first lose weight through exercise, diet or activities such as sleeves

Then remove the sagging and loose skin with abdominoplasty

The goal of abdominoplasty surgery is to correct a protruding or sagging abdomen

Types of abdominoplasty in Iran
There are different methods of abdominoplasty, but the most common ones that are used in the world are the differences in the size of the incisions and are as follows:

Standard or classic abdominoplasty

Where side-to-side (horizontal) cutting is given as needed

The umbilicus is completely removed, the abdominal muscles are repaired, and a new umbilical cord is inserted, and the extra skin is removed and the layers of skin are sutured one by one.

Small or mini abdominoplasty

In this type of abdominoplasty, the incision is smaller than the previous method and the umbilicus remains in place and only the muscles below the umbilicus are repaired and the extra skin is removed.

Excess skin and sutures in this method are less than other methods

Modern abdominoplasty

For people whose drooping abdomen is due to severe weight loss, to achieve the ideal limb, in addition to the horizontal incision, a vertical incision should be made so that the extra skin gathers in all directions to create a more even and beautiful limb.

discharge caused by the operation.
The wound is bandaged under a sterile environment and transferred to recovery after the operation and anesthesia.
