Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) in Iran:
Removing or tightening the skin in the abdominal area is one of the modern methods to get rid of fat and excess skin in the abdominal and hip areas. The goal of a tummy tuck is not weight loss but only cosmetic purposes, where excess and sagging skin is removed during the procedure.
There are two solutions to getting rid of excess fat and skin in the abdominal area: surgical tummy tuck and non-surgical tummy tuck. Each method has benefits and drawbacks, and their cost differs depending on various circumstances.
Individuals who are overweight may succeed in losing weight through a suitable diet and exercise. Still, excess and sagging skin in the abdominal area cannot be removed by such solutions, which is why they opt for a tummy tuck and removal of excess skin.
In the tummy tuck procedure, the excess skin is lifted upwards, and the doctor stitches the upper part of the abdominal area. The navel has also been moved to a new location to look natural. Some injuries or bruises may occur after the surgery, but worrying is unnecessary as they gradually fade.
After lifting, the abdomen is smoothed, and the doctor stitches the surgery site using special threads. Excess fluids and blood are drained using small tubes called drains. The surgery takes 2 to 5 hours, depending on each patient’s circumstances.

Tummy Tuck Surgery
Tummy tuck surgery, called abdominoplasty, is one of the treatment methods used to overcome skin sagging in the abdominal area and is also known as the Abdo procedure3.
The surgeon usually removes excess fat from the patient’s abdomen using a liposuction procedure3. To achieve this, the patient is placed under general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia, and excess fat is pulled out from their abdomen. Since the volume of fat extracted is large, the skin usually becomes saggy. For this reason, the surgeon separates the excess skin and stitches the abdomen

Why Iran for Tummy Tuck Surgery?
Surgical Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
This is the traditional, most comprehensive method for significant abdominal contouring.
How it works: A surgeon removes excess fat and skin from the lower and mid-abdomen and then tightens the underlying abdominal muscles. The remaining skin is stretched taut, creating a much smoother, more toned appearance.
Who it’s for: Ideal for individuals with a large amount of loose skin and fat, or those with separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) that cannot be corrected with diet and exercise alone.
Risks & Recovery: As with any major surgery, a surgical tummy tuck has risks, including blood clots, infection, and unfavorable scarring. Recovery can take several weeks, with a period of limited activity to allow the body to heal.
Non-Surgical Tummy Tuck (Body Contouring)
This is a less invasive alternative that addresses smaller pockets of fat and mild skin laxity.
How it works: Non-surgical methods use various technologies—such as radiofrequency, ultrasound, or cryolipolysis (fat freezing)—to destroy fat cells and stimulate collagen production for skin tightening.
Who it’s for: Ideal for individuals at or near their ideal body weight who have localized, stubborn fat deposits and minor sagging skin.
Benefits:
No surgery: No incisions, anesthesia, or significant scarring.
Minimal downtime: Patients can typically return to their normal activities immediately.
Permanent results: Once the targeted fat cells are destroyed, they are gone for good, provided a healthy lifestyle is maintained.
