Classic abdominoplasty, complete or tummy tuck
This is normally for when the abdominal volume is small. Methods such as cool sculpting only result in slight stiffness in the skin of the abdomen and are of little use for loose and sagging bellies.

How It Is Done
- Tummy tuck is performed under general anesthesia and depending on the surgical equipment it takes between two to five hours.
- The surgical technique and the volume of excess tissue are determined by your surgeon in the consultation session. Then on the day of the operation, the surgeon will mark the necessary areas with special markers.
- After you are unconscious, the surgeon will make the appropriate surgical incision depending on the technique determined earlier. If you are a candidate for classic abdominoplasty, a horizontal incision is made in the target area of the abdomen and all abdominal tissues, including skin and fat, are removed from the area. Of course, the umbilicus remains intact to maintain its blood supply. Also, if needed, the abdominal wall muscles are sutured to achieve the desired quality of stiffness and a smaller more eye-catching waist.
- Finally, after removing the excess fat and skin, the remaining skin tissue is sutured at the bottom of the incision. After that, the shape of the umbilicus and its location are determined and the patient’s umbilicus is sutured to the desired location.
If the surgeon uses limited abdominoplasty technique, the incision and the tissue removed from the body is smaller. In lipoabdominoplasty, the surgeon will remove excess fat from the body through liposuction before removing excess tissue.
- Finally, to drain the blood and secretions from the wounds, the surgeon inserts a tube called a drain under the skin of the operation site and bandages the wound after closing it.
- After tummy tuck surgery in Iran, you will be hospitalized for 24 to 48 hours and will be discharged after receiving the necessary advice.

Side Effects of Abdominoplasty
- Pain, swelling, and bruising at the site of surgery are normal and resolve over time.
- Having a scar is normal after the operation and, like the incision site of other surgeries, fades in a few months.
- The surgical incision may turn numb, which in many cases resolves after a few months.
Comparing Tummy Tuck With Other Common Abdomen Reduction Surgeries
Compared to the Mini Tummy Tuck, the surgical incision is smaller in limited abdominoplasty and leaves fewer scars. On the other hand, abdominal correction is better in the classical method and is more suitable for large and sagging abdomens. Also, in limited abdominoplasty, the muscles do not tighten and the shape of the abdomen does not change as much.
Abdominoplasty and Liposuction, Which One Is Better?
Liposuction and lipomatics both help with the reduction of fat mass in the abdomen, hips, buttocks and thighs and improve the overall shape of the body. Abdominoplasty is not a fat reduction method, instead it removes excess loose and sagging skin of the abdomen and is more useful in people who have lost weight or given birth. Candidates can undergo liposuction at the same time as abdominoplasty for enhanced results. Lipoabdominoplasty has advantages such as limited bleeding, improving the patient’s body shape, reducing excess fat and fewer postoperative complications and has become the first choice of many people.
Note that the Tummy Tuck abdominoplasty technique is not for weight loss but for correcting sagging and loose abdominal skin. If you are looking to reduce excess body fat, it is better to choose fat reduction methods.
