Transform Your Midsection with a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a highly sought-after cosmetic surgery designed to sculpt and tone your abdominal area. By removing excess skin and fat, and tightening the muscles beneath, this procedure can dramatically enhance the contour of your abdomen and waistline.
Whether you’re looking to regain your pre-pregnancy shape or address the effects of significant weight loss, a tummy tuck offers a path to a flatter, firmer belly that looks naturally toned.
Tummy Tuck: Achieve a Flat and Sculpted Abdomen
Abdominoplasty is ideal for individuals dealing with loose abdominal skin, stubborn fat deposits, or stretch marks that diminish the appearance of their midsection. It’s a versatile procedure, suitable for both cosmetic and reconstructive purposes, such as repairing muscle separation following a cesarean section. Depending on your specific needs, tummy tucks can range from “mini” procedures to more comprehensive surgeries.
This safe and effective method not only rejuvenates your appearance but also restores confidence. Whether you’ve undergone multiple pregnancies, experienced significant weight loss, or simply wish to refine your body’s silhouette, abdominoplasty can provide the transformative results you desire. Educating yourself and carefully considering your options are crucial steps toward making an informed decision about this life-changing procedure.
As we age, our bodies, especially the abdomen, undergo changes due to factors like pregnancy, stretch marks, weight fluctuations, and natural aging. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed for both men and women to achieve a flat, contoured abdomen when diet and exercise are not enough.
Expert Care with Dr. Suren Sahakyan
Dr. Suren Sahakyan has helped thousands of patients in Yerevan, Armenia, Moscow, and Krasnodar, Russia, achieve their ideal abdominal contours. With extensive experience in performing abdominoplasties, Dr. Sahakyan offers a personalized approach to body contouring and reshaping.
Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery
Tummy tuck surgery is a popular procedure, particularly for women looking to restore their figure after pregnancy or significant weight loss. Both male and female patients benefit from a smoother, more toned stomach, gaining confidence in their appearance.
The procedure involves an incision along the lower abdomen, near the pubic hairline, and around the belly button. In mini-tummy tucks, the scar around the belly button is eliminated. Excess skin is removed, and the underlying muscles are tightened. Dr. Sahakyan customizes the incision pattern to ensure a natural-looking result.
Benefits of a Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck offers numerous benefits, including:
- Removal of excess skin and fat
- A flatter, firmer midsection
- Enhanced abdominal contours
- Reduced appearance of stretch marks
- Elimination of sagging skin after major weight loss
- Tightened abdominal muscles, especially post-pregnancy
Often combined with liposuction, a tummy tuck can address the entire torso for a comprehensive transformation.
Ideal Candidates
A tummy tuck is suitable for healthy men and women seeking a flatter, more defined abdomen. Common candidates include post-pregnancy mothers and individuals who have lost significant weight. Men with protruding abdominal skin also benefit greatly from this procedure. While exercise and diet are crucial, they cannot achieve the dramatic results of a tummy tuck.
Personal Consultation
Dr. Suren Sahakyan will discuss the benefits and potential drawbacks of a tummy tuck during your consultation. He will review your medical history, including medications and past procedures, to ensure you are a suitable candidate. Viewing before-and-after photos helps set realistic expectations for the surgery’s outcome.
Preparation for Surgery
To prepare for your tummy tuck, follow Dr. Sahakyan’s instructions, which include stopping smoking and avoiding certain medications weeks before and after the surgery. Arrange for someone to stay with you for the first 24 hours post-surgery, and fast for at least eight hours before the procedure.
The Procedure
On the day of your surgery, you will change into a gown, and the surgical team will administer general anesthesia. Dr. Sahakyan will make incisions around your abdomen, remove excess tissue and skin, and tighten the abdominal muscles. The incisions are then closed with sutures, and you will be taken to a recovery room.
Recovery Process
Recovery begins immediately, with detailed aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Sahakyan. Wearing an abdominal binder or compression garment helps reduce swelling and support muscle recovery. These garments are typically worn for eight weeks. Regular walking is encouraged to promote healing, and follow-up appointments are essential for monitoring your progress.
Results
You will notice an improvement in your abdomen immediately after surgery. With proper care, the results can last a lifetime. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet ensures long-lasting results.

Circular Abdominoplasty
Circular abdominoplasty addresses the excess fat and skin on both the back and abdomen. When significant fat is present in these areas, a combination of back liposuction and tummy tuck abdominoplasty may be necessary. This procedure removes excess skin and fat from the back and thighs, enhancing the body’s overall shape from all angles.
By eliminating excess skin and fat and tightening the abdominal muscles, circular abdominoplasty results in a firmer and slimmer abdomen. These results are typically long-lasting, especially when maintaining a stable weight.
