Full Tummy Tuck NYC

A tummy tuck is a highly customizable procedure. After your assessment, your surgeon determines the target areas before creating a surgical plan. The main steps in the procedure include:

1. Anesthesia. An anesthesiologist administers general anesthesia to make you sleep through the procedure. You’ll need someone to drive you home after surgery.
2. Incisions. Dr. Shokrian maps the incision points from hip to hip just above your pubic area. Another incision around your navel helps the doctor access the fat and skin around your belly button.
3. Fat and skin removal. Your surgeon uses liposuction procedure to remove excess fat. Then he removes the excess skin and tissue from your lower and upper abdomen, stretching your abdominal skin down and cutting away the excess.
4. Closing. Afterward, your doctor closes the incisions carefully to reduce scarring. The incisions are carefully cleaned and dressed.
5. Post-operative care. You’re placed in an observation room while you recover from the anesthesia. You don’t usually need a hospital stay.
6. Recovery. Dr. Shokrian provides aftercare instructions. A full recovery takes three to six months. During that time, you need to avoid strenuous physical activities.
7. Pain medication. After surgery, you may experience some soreness. Your doctor prescribes painkillers to reduce short-term discomfort.

After surgery, your body needs a few weeks of rest. Eat a healthy diet during this time to improve your results. As the swelling and bruises disappear after several weeks, you’ll begin to see the results you expect. To maintain your results, you’ll need to keep fit and keep your weight constant.

A full tummy tuck can be a life-changing cosmetic procedure, especially if you’ve struggled with stubborn abdominal fat. Besides the aesthetic results, the procedure may include abdominal muscle repair, as your surgeon sutures them together to strengthen them. A full tummy tuck procedure offers multiple benefits, including:

• More extensive, more dramatic results due to greater access to your abdomen
• Desired cosmetic goals with a flatter, better-looking abdomen
• A potentially stronger abdominal core
• Improved self-esteem that comes with a better self-image and self-confidence
• Decreasing back pain, especially after childbirth
• Improved posture and overall flexibility through stronger abdominal muscles
• Prevention of a ventral hernia, which may be caused by weak abdominal muscles
• Improved symptoms of stress urinary incontinence

The average cost of a full tummy tuck starts at about $6,000, but the cost can rise if you consider other factors, including:

• The experience and training of your surgeon
• Anesthesia fees
• Other, complementary procedures, such as a butt enlargement
• The length of your surgery
• The extent of fat and tissue removed
• Operating room costs
• Aftercare medication
