    Excess skin between the line created in the bikini area and below the navel is separated and removed. This procedure usually takes between one and two hours.

    • Pulling and bringing together the skin on both sides of the abdomen and suturing it.

    Full tummy tuck in Iran

    Full tummy tuck in Iran is recommended for people who need a lot of correction in their abdominal areas. The amount of excess skin is the factor that determines the length of the surgical incision.

    In this method, after making the necessary incision, the surgeon undergoes many changes in the skin and fat of the abdomen and makes an incision in the umbilical cord, and separates it from the surrounding tissue to improve its appearance. After the surgery, the surgeon may place a drain under the skin to remove excess fluid. Doctors clear the gutters a few days after the surgery.

    Full tummy tuck in Iran includes:

    • Making a large incision in the head to the lower abdomen, parallel to the left side to the right side or vice versa.

    Tummy tuck risks and complications

    • Abdominoplasty, like any surgery, has its risks and complications. Abdominal surgery risks include:
    • Infection and blood clots are severe risks after abdominal surgery. However, this rarely happens, and antibiotics usually treat the infection.
    • Pulmonary embolism (blood clot), heart attack, or stroke are infrequent complications that may result from any surgery, resulting in blood clots due to post-operative immobility.
    • Skin necrosis is one complication that may require another procedure because the dead skin must be replaced with a skin graft.
    • Although necrosis is rare, smokers have an increased risk of skin necrosis.
    • Quitting nicotine and smoking a few weeks before and a few weeks after surgery will cleanse the body and improve the chances of an uneventful recovery.
    • One of the common problems after abdominoplasty surgery is a fluid collection under the skin. A surgeon can remove the fluid with a needle, which stops within a month and does not affect the final results.
    • Abdominoplasty scars are long, significant, and permanent in appearance. The size of the spot depends on the amount of skin cut, the techniques used for the surgery, the surgeon’s skill, and the body’s ability to heal. Although the scars will never become invisible, it usually takes nine months to a year to smooth out and lighten in color.
    • The risks mentioned are seen in cases where a trained plastic surgeon selects and operates on a suitable patient with very few degrees. Still, the important thing is that you must know and study these things. And then, sign the surgical consent form knowing everything after a sufficient explanation from your surgeon.
