    What Is a Tummy Tuck?

    A tummy tuck surgery is a type of procedure performed for removing excess fat and skin from your belly area to give you a flatter, firmer stomach. It’s usually the spot where those not-so-lovable love handles and unwanted belly pouches reside.

    A tummy tuck may very well be the perfect way for you to lose that muffin top. The procedure removes the annoying fat and restores weakened abdominal muscles to give you the fit, slimmer shape you’ve always wanted.

    Sweating away at the gym is a healthy option for some, but not everyone’s lifestyle permits that time or intense dedication. Others find that despite a healthy diet and workout routine, some areas of belly fat just refuse to go away. A belly fat removal procedure is a viable shortcut to achieving the toned abdominal profile you never thought possible for yourself.

    Clients’ Testimonials

    I did 360 liposuction, BBL and tummy tuck, before my surgery I was concerned about the pain because people usually do this kind of procedure separately, but I was amazing how great I feel next day, the doctor offered me an additional pain relief through the surgery ( spiral), which works really good, I was able to do light activities right next day like cooking, and walk without no problem.

    Clients’ Testimonials

    Tummy Tuck: Different Types of Abdominoplasties

    Achieving your physical goals becomes harder as you age; your body just doesn’t cooperate as well as it once did. Your skin isn’t as elastic and your metabolism isn’t as quick to burn off excess pounds. A belly fat reduction could be a sneaky way to cheat time. No matter how big you are or how much weight you’ve lost or want to lose, your doctor can help you determine which tummy tuck procedure would work best for you.

    Options include:

    • Mini tummy tuck. Mini refers to the amount of fat removed. A mini tummy tuck is perfect for someone with a smaller amount of skin and fat to remove. This option is ideal for men and women who have done a lot of work on their own, but still can’t get the results they want. A mini tuck can take you over the finish line.
    • Full tummy tuck. During a full tummy tuck, an incision is made along your bikini line from hip to hip. Loose muscles are tightened, fat is removed and skin is toned over your now-flat abdomen walls. This process is good for restoring your body following a pregnancy or illness.
    • Extended tummy tuck. Extended tummy tucks require a larger incision, from the front of the abdomen to the back. This larger area allows your plastic surgeon to shape the waistline and remove your least favorite muffin-top look by removing the fat and skin on top of your hip bones, ideal if you’re looking for total body contouring.
    • Non-surgical tummy tuck. A non-surgical belly fat reduction has almost the same effect as a surgical one, with a much shorter recovery time. New advances in electromagnetic therapy and other techniques have created aesthetic devices that help strengthen muscle and reshape your body. Ultherapy, for example, tightens your skin once the fat’s gone. There are a number of different ways this is achieved, ideal if you don’t have time for a longer recovery.

    Depending on the type of procedure you undergo, surgery can last from one to five hours. More intricate surgeries removing larger sections of fat and skin take the longest.

    Different Types of Abdominoplasties

    Tummy Tuck New York City Candidates

    When looking for tummy tuck near me in New York, you need to understand whether you’re candidate. Abdominoplasty may be a solution if you want to change your body after the effects of:

    1. Aging. Getting older shows itself in many little ways. A tummy tuck is a great way to revitalize your shape while getting you back to feeling and looking better and younger than ever. It can also be combined with arm lift, thight lift, butt lift surgery and even Brazilian butt lift procedure to make your body look much younger.
    2. Pregnancy. A tummy tuck after pregnancy is very common, as some women still have large areas of skin that sag once they’ve lost the baby weight.
    3. Weight loss. Extreme weight loss can leave behind folds of unwanted skin and fat deposits. This takes away from the joy you feel from shedding the pounds in the first place. Combined with a panniculectomy procedure, designed to remove large amounts of excess skin after bariatric surgery, a stomach fat surgery gives you the tightening that completes your new look.
    4. Illness. If you’ve gained a significant amount of weight due to an illness that keeps you from exercise, consult your doctor to see if you qualify for a tummy tuck. Stomach fat surgery combined with lipo procedure may also alleviate other symptoms affecting your life caused by weight gain.

    You are not a good candidate for a tummy tuck procedure if:

    • You plan to get pregnant in the future.
    • You have not reached your desired weight, and plan on losing extra weight.
    • You are in poor health. Have advanced cardiopulmonary disease, or cirrhosis, or uncontrolled diabetes.

    *Many plastic surgeons consider current smoking a contraindication to the surgery.

    Dr. Shokrian successfully performed Abdominoplasty on patients who had lost significant weight and whose skin had lost elasticity.

    Your Personal Consultation

    During your consultation, Dr. Elfar or Dr. Shokrian will personally explain what a tummy tuck can do for you, the pros and cons of the procedure, review unique goals, discuss your physiological factors (skin elasticity, muscle tone, prior surgeries), and set realistic expectations.

    I understand that each patient is different. Therefore, I want to ensure each tummy tuck is tailored to what works best for your anatomy and physiology, considering your personal short and long-term goals. ~ Dr. Shokrian

    Our one-on-one consultation provides the perfect opportunity to get to know and establish trust with your board-certified surgeon, see the past results, and have a detailed discussion to understand the procedure.

    By the end of the consultation, you’ll feel confident and informed. If you decide to go through the procedure, the doctor will explain the next steps and the required pre-op testing and provide preparation instructions.

    New York Board-Certified Tummy Tuck Surgeon

    Are There Any Health Benefits to a Tummy Tuck Surgery?

    You may be thinking that tummy tucks are only for people who want to look perfect, but that’s not the case. Finally having a flat, toned stomach can be a major game-changer in your everyday life. How you look to others and how you feel about yourself truly re-routes your life into the one you’ve always dreamed of living. Tummy tucks aren’t just about looking good, they’re about feeling good too.

    Along with a fond farewell to your old fat and the old you, there are some overall health benefits that accompany abdominoplasty surgery.

    A few bonus side effects of a stomach fat surgery include:

    • Stronger core.
    • Motivated mind.
    • Hernia prevention.
    • Lowered risk of other medical conditions.

    Stronger core.

    With the once weak muscles in your abdomen now tighter and stronger, your body has more support from its central muscular space, alleviating issues in your back, neck or legs. Lower back pain often is a direct result of poor posture and a weak core.

    Motivated mind.

    A tummy tuck can jumpstart your motivation to stay fit and thin. Changing your body changes your mind and vice versa. Choosing this procedure is life-changing in more ways than one.

    Hernia prevention.

    Tightening your abdominal muscles helps prevent or treat umbilical and ventral hernias. It’s an ideal solution if you’ve struggled with both belly fat and hernias.

    Lowered risk of other medical conditions.

    A belly fat removal can prevent conditions often caused by weight gain, such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Staying fit and at a healthy weight lowers your risk of disease so you maintain a productive energy level.

    What Does Recovery Look Like after My Abdominoplasty?

    It takes between six and eight weeks to get back to your normal activity after a tummy tuck, although you may be able to get back to non-strenuous work after five to seven days.

    After the surgery, during your healing process, Dr. Shokrian or Dr. Elfar will do multiple checkups to inspect your incisions and ask recovery-related questions. Follow the doctor’s instructions and attend follow-up and post-procedure appointments for the quickest tummy tuck recovery.

    During your recovery:

    • Elevated sleep is recommended for one to three weeks after a mini tummy tuck and four to six weeks after a full tummy tuck.
    • Sleeping at an angle with a wedge pillow helps your muscles heal quicker.
    • Avoid lying flat after surgery until approved by your doctor.
    • Full recovery from a tummy tuck may take up to three months.
    • Use this time period to watch as your swelling subsides to reveal your brand new Baywatch bod.

    Your Midtown Manhattan aesthetics team ensures you know all the post-op do’s and don’ts, such as:

    • Getting proper rest
    • Taking short daily walks
    • Avoiding any strenuous abdominal work
    • Keeping incision areas clean

    Seroma: A Potential Side Effect After Tummy Tuck (Easily Treatable in Most Cases)
    A seroma is a formation of clear fluid that builds up underneath the surface of your skin. After a tummy tuck, the surgical team administers drainage tubes for several hours or days to prevent seromas from forming. Seromas are easily treated.

    The main goal at Millennial Plastic Surgery is to ensure you get the results you came for, with the quickest recovery experience and a minimal amount of discomfort.

    Enhancing Your Results: Procedures to Complement a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

    To maximize the impact of a tummy tuck, patients often consider complementary surgical procedures. These additional surgeries can enhance overall aesthetics and balance out the new, flatter tummy.

    • Breast Augmentation or Lift: Many women find that a breast procedure complements a tummy tuck, especially post-pregnancy. It can restore volume and position for a more harmonized upper body silhouette.
    • Buttock Augmentation: This can be done using implants or fat transfer (often using fat from liposuction) to achieve a fuller, more lifted appearance, complementing the flatter abdomen.
    • Thigh Lift: If sagging skin extends into the thigh area, a thigh lift can address this, offering smoother, tighter contours.
    • Arm Lift: Similar to the thigh lift, an arm lift removes excess skin from the upper arms, especially beneficial for those who’ve experienced significant weight loss.
    • Body Contouring with Non-surgical Procedures: Technologies like CoolSculpting or radiofrequency treatments can refine results, targeting smaller areas or providing skin tightening.

    Contact Dr. Shokrian to discuss your overall aesthetic goals. He can guide you on which procedures will provide the best outcomes while ensuring safety and feasibility.

    How Much Does a Tummy Tuck Cost in New York?

    The average cost of abdominoplasty in New York is about $18,000 to $25,000, while a mini tummy tuck costs around $12,000 to $16,000.

    Many tummy tuck costs are considered elective, non-medical procedures that aren’t covered by insurance. There are some instances, however, when you may be able to receive some aid. If, for example, you develop ventral hernias that cause urinary incontinence, an abdominoplasty may be considered medically necessary and covered by insurance.
