NaturaTuck® AbdominoplastyDr. Alizadeh’s custom tummy tuck procedure
Tummy Tuck with Dr. Alizadeh
The abdomen, or “tummy,” can be one of the toughest areas to tone or shed fat from. A belly pooch shows up because of weight gain, after a pregnancy, or as a natural part of aging. Despite healthy eating, targeted exercise, or other attempts to reduce this troublesome area, it often remains. That’s where Dr. Alizadeh's tummy tuck in NYC comes in.
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the abdomen. Excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen, and the muscle is tightened with sutures, thereby firming and shaping the abdominal area for a more attractive appearance.
What is a NaturaTuck®?
As a highly experienced tummy tuck surgeon in New York City, Dr. Alizadeh’s custom procedure, the NaturaTuck® Abdominoplasty, begins with liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, and mons pubis. After contouring the trunk with liposuction, one incision is made across the lower abdomen at the level of the pubic hair so that any scarring is hidden by underwear or a bathing suit. Dr. Alizadeh specially designs the operation with the patient's bikini in mind to minimize the appearance of any scars.

The following procedures often work well in tandem with a tummy tuck.
Mini Tummy Tuck
For some patients, a full tummy tuck is not needed. If there is a bulge only below the belly button, which is often a result of abdominal muscles separating during pregnancy, a mini tummy tuck may be more optimal. The mini tummy tuck requires a smaller, lower incision and leaves the belly button intact. Using gentle assisted liposuction, Dr. Alizadeh removes excess fat and then repairs the separated muscle tissue by stitching it together. This restores a firm, flat lower abdomen.
Torso Lift Belt Lipectomy
A torso lift, or belt lipectomy, allows Dr. Alizadeh to contour the hips, thighs, and buttocks. In addition to the abdomen, the patient’s lower body is lifted, shaped, and sculpted. This procedure is designed for patients who have lost a large amount of weight yet still struggle with excess, unwanted skin.
Lateral Torso Abdominoplasty LTAP
This procedure is designed for those with excess upper abdominal or lateral breast skin and can also benefit patients who have had previous operations. Dr. Alizadeh will create a tapered contour by removing the excess skin hanging laterally and redraping and securing it along the sides of the torso, creating a smoother, tighter physique.
Panniculectomy Surgery For The Abdominal Apron
Also known as a pannus stomach or mother’s apron, apron belly occurs when the belly and fat expand due to weight gain or pregnancy. This appears as an apron-like flap that can hang low below the beltline, cause back pain, and prevent good genital hygiene. Patients who have worked hard to lose significant weight often have this extra pouch. Removing it helps them feel better about their weight loss and proud of their impressive achievement.
Mommy Makeover
After having children, the flesh of the body can sag and hang instead of bouncing back as you want it to. Dr. Alizadeh can provide a "mommy makeover" procedure for women who desire a full-body restoration. This restoring procedure generally includes a tummy tuck and breast augmentation or a NaturaBra® Breast Lift. Once it is complete, you can see your pre-pregnancy figure again, firmed, contoured, and in a beautiful hourglass shape.
Spot Liposuction
In addition to removing excess skin, liposuction can help achieve a slimmer, shapely result as part of comprehensive body contouring.
Based on your vision for your body, Dr. Alizadeh may also discuss grafting fat to your face or breasts to enhance or augment areas that need a lift.
Additionally, Dr. Alizadeh may recommend layering the unwanted fat in cellulite removal procedures to help prevent future scarring or dimpling.
