Reclaim Your Stomach & Waist

Sometimes, dedicated dieting and exercising are simply not enough to fully restore the desired definition and shape of your midsection. When persistent loose skin or separated abdominal muscles stand in the way of your ideal waistline, consider a tummy tuck. During this transformative surgery, Dr. Firouz expertly removes excess skin and stubborn fatty deposits while simultaneously repositioning the abdominal muscles into a tighter, firmer formation, resulting in a beautifully flatter and tighter abdomen.

What Is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat and skin while tightening the underlying muscles to reshape and contour the abdomen. This procedure is especially helpful for those who have experienced significant weight changes, pregnancy, or aging, which can lead to loose skin and weakened abdominal muscles. Unlike liposuction, which only targets fat, a tummy tuck addresses the skin, fat, and muscle layers to restore a firmer, more sculpted midsection.

While not a weight-loss solution, a tummy tuck can offer transformative results for those struggling with abdominal laxity that cannot be fixed by diet and exercise alone. It enhances body contours, tightens muscles, and removes excess tissue, giving a smoother, more toned appearance. Dr. Firouz customizes each tummy tuck to your unique needs, ensuring natural, beautiful results.

Tummy Tuck Benefits

A tummy tuck with Dr. Firouz goes beyond simple fat removal to provide comprehensive body contouring. As a premier provider of abdominoplasty in Beverly Hills, Dr. Firouz addresses the skin, fat, and muscle layers simultaneously so patients can experience several life-changing benefits:

  • Restored Core Strength: Dr. Firouz repairs and tightens abdominal muscles that have been weakened or separated (diastasis recti), providing a firmer internal foundation.
  • Elimination of Excess Skin: The procedure removes sagging, loose skin caused by pregnancy or significant weight loss that cannot be addressed through exercise alone.
  • A Flatter, Toned Profile: By removing stubborn fat deposits and smoothing the remaining skin, you can achieve a more sculpted waistline and a flatter midsection.
  • Improved Posture and Comfort: Tightening the abdominal wall often leads to improved posture and can alleviate back pain or skin irritation caused by excess tissue.
  • Permanent Results: While your body will continue to age naturally, the removal of skin and repair of muscles are permanent, provided you maintain a stable weight.
  • Enhanced Confidence: Patients often report a significant boost in self-esteem, feeling more comfortable in form-fitting clothing and swimwear.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

A Beverly Hills tummy tuck is ideal for patients looking to restore a firm, flat midsection. You may be a good candidate if you meet the following criteria:

  • Excess Skin: You have loose or sagging abdominal skin from pregnancy, aging, or weight loss.
  • Muscle Weakness: You have "diastasis recti" (separated muscles) that diet and exercise cannot fix.
  • Stable Weight: You are at or near your goal weight and have maintained it for several months.
  • Good Health: You are a healthy non-smoker with no medical conditions that hinder healing.
  • Post-Childbearing: You have completed your family, as future pregnancies can alter surgical results.

Your Tummy Tuck Journey

The Abdominoplasty Procedure

Dr. Firouz will tailor the tummy tuck to your body. To begin, he will make an incision just above your pubic bone. In most cases, it will extend horizontally across the lower abdomen. In some cases, it may continue around to the back. You may also require an incision around the navel. 

Through the opening, he will trim away excess skin and adjust the underlying muscles to create a firm and contoured waistline. Once your abdomen has been shaped and tightened, he will close the incisions and place drainage tubes to promote your recovery and help remove excess fluid. The entire surgery will last between one and five hours, depending on your body and desired results. 

Recovery and Results

In general, your post-operative instructions will call for rest to promote healing and reduce recovery time. In the initial days and weeks, you can expect some pain, swelling, and discomfort. 

However, you should be able to manage it with medication prescribed by Dr. Firouz. Most patients can resume the normal daily routines within two weeks, though it may take your body up to a year to completely adapt to your new abdominal configuration.

I recently had a tummy tuck after losing over 100 pounds by Dr. Firouz, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From my first consultation through every step of post-op care, Dr. Firouz and his team made me feel informed, supported, and confident. The results exceeded my expectations and my stomach is flatter, tighter, and more sculpted than I ever imagined possible. The precision and attention to detail truly shows in my results. Recovery was manageable, and any concerns I had were addressed promptly with kindness and care. I am so grateful for this transformation and highly recommend Dr. Firouz to anyone considering a tummy tuck or body contouring procedure. He’s the best!!

A year ago, I looked for a good plastic surgeon to do breast reduction and tummy tuck. I interviewed many doctors in OC and L.A., but when I met Dr. Firouz, I knew that I found the doctor I was looking for. He is honest, very knowledgeable, and, most importantly excellent in what he does. I am so happy with my results, and I got so many compliments from my friends and family. He is the only plastic surgeon in southern California that I trust with my body. Since then he is doing my botox and fillers, and I honestly can say I can't be happier with the result. I am so grateful for what he did for me since I've seen so many of my friends butchered by other doctors.

Tummy Tuck FAQs

Where will my tummy tuck scar be located?

Dr. Firouz typically places the horizontal incision very low on the abdomen, just above the pubic area. This placement is strategically chosen so that the resulting scar can be easily hidden beneath most underwear and bikini bottoms.

Will a tummy tuck get rid of my stretch marks?

A tummy tuck can effectively remove stretch marks located on the lower abdomen (below the belly button) because that skin is physically excised during the procedure. Stretch marks on the upper abdomen may remain, but they are often pulled lower and become less noticeable.

Can I get a tummy tuck if I’ve had a previous C-section?

Yes. In many cases, Dr. Firouz can incorporate your existing C-section scar into the new tummy tuck incision. The procedure can also address 'C-section shelfing,' where skin hangs over the old surgical scar.

How long do I need to wear the compression garment?

Most patients wear a medical-grade compression garment or abdominal binder for about 4 to 6 weeks. This helps minimize swelling, supports the newly tightened muscles, and helps the skin conform to your new body contours.

Does a tummy tuck affect future pregnancies?

While a tummy tuck does not affect your ability to have a healthy pregnancy, it is generally recommended to wait until you are finished having children. A future pregnancy can stretch the repaired muscles and skin, potentially compromising your surgical results.

Can you combine my Beverly Hills abdominoplasty with other procedures?

Yes. Dr. Firouz frequently combines abdominoplasty with liposuction, breast augmentation, or a breast lift to achieve comprehensive results. This approach, often called a 'Mommy Makeover,' allows you to address multiple areas of concern during a single surgery and recovery period.

How long-lasting is a tummy tuck?

With proper diet and exercise, the incredible results of your tummy tuck should be very long-lasting.
