First, let us have a look at the procedure itself:
Tummy tuck, otherwise known as abdominoplasty, removes excess fat and skin and, in most cases, restores weakened or separated muscles creating an abdominal profile that is flatter, smoother, and firmer.
This procedure helps reduce loose or sagging abdomens caused by heredity, major fluctuations in weight, the aging process, and post-pregnancy stretching.

Best plastic surgeons performing abdominoplasty in Iran
Going for plastic surgery like abdominoplasty is a difficult decision, so is choosing the best plastic surgeon for your procedure. Whether you’re considering Iran for the reasonable prices or high-quality medical services, you would definitely want to have surgery under the hands of a skilled Iranian surgeon.
Most Iranian surgeons, if not all, have earned their fellowships and certifications in plastic surgery from top medical universities in Iran and around the globe. Therefore, you can rest assured that you will have a safe treatment for your protruded abdomen with the least possibility of any upcoming complications.
How is tummy tuck performed in Iran?
An incision is made to the abdomen from hip to hip, along the pubic area or the so-called bikini line. A circular incision is then made around the belly button to free it from the surrounding skin.
After tightening muscles, removing excess fat and skin and pulling down the skin, a new hole is created in the right position for the belly button.
The incisions are finally stitched up with sutures. A dressing or sometimes a compression garment is applied and the excess fluid is drained.
You may also be recommended to have liposuction at the same time to have the most satisfactory outcomes.
What to expect during the recovery?
A drainage device will be left for a few days in your body, if necessary. Your doctor will give you the instructions regarding how to take care of it when you are at home. To learn about the post-operative instructions during recovery, read the section ‘what to do after tummy tuck procedure’.
Mini tummy tuck in Iran
As the name suggests, mini tummy tuck refers to less invasive and minimal abdominoplasty.
This procedure is an ideal option for those with a small amount of excess fat and skin in their abdominal area. People whose abdominal area is beginning to sag due to aging or who have slim abdomens may also consider this surgery to sculpt their abdominal profile into a more desirable shape.
In a mini tummy tuck, muscles are tightened and excess skin is removed from below the belly button only. There will be an incision in the lower abdomen but the belly button will not need repositioning.
Mini tummy tuck vs. full tummy tuck
As mentioned above, a mini tummy tuck is less invasive as it involves less surgery. The recovery process is also faster compared to the time it takes to heal from a full tummy tuck.
Furthermore, a few number of patients are the right candidates for this surgery as it takes away the excess tissue only from under the belly button.
In contrast, full abdominoplasty eliminates a larger amount of excess tissues from both the middle and lower abdominal area. Accordingly, there may be a longer recovery period for those undergoing this surgery.
WHAT TO DO BEFORE Abdominoplasty?
In order to have better operation and heal faster after the surgery follows these instructions:
- Lose as much weight as possible (reach your ideal weight) before undergoing an abdominoplasty, as losing further weight after the operation will undermine the final result and may create a need for another surgery.
- Arrange your transportation beforehand.
- Finish your important tasks before going for the surgery, as you will need to rest for a few days and take care of yourself during your recovery process.
- Make sure there will be someone to help and take care of you for at least a couple of days after surgery.
What to do AFTER TUMMY TUCK SURGERY?
After shaping your belly through the surgery, you need to take into considerations the below facts and instructions:
- You may have dressings and drains for removing excess liquid in place before/after being discharged from the hospital.
- Your doctor may prescribe painkillers for you to be taken during the recovery time.
Tummy tuck risks and complications
If you want to experience a smooth course of treatment, you need to become an educated patient. By this, you will be aware of the procedure, results, and more importantly risks and complications you may face.
For abdominoplasty, there is bleeding, pain, scarring, swelling, reaction to anesthesia, infection, seroma (fluid accumulation under the skin), and hematoma (blood accumulation).
A practical point for your care
Before an operation, the pre-assessment team should review your health, previous tests and all medicines and supplements. Ask for written instructions on medicines, eating, drinking and aftercare that apply to your planned procedure.[1]
