Tummy Tuck
Childbirth, genetics, and weight loss can all leave excess fat and skin around your midsection.
A tummy tuck is a powerful plastic surgery that can slim, flatten, and contour your abdomen.
Houston, TX, trusts their tummy tucks to Dr. Azita Madjidi, our board-certified surgeon.
Just What Is a Tummy Tuck?
"Tummy tuck" is the layman’s term for the surgery known as abdominoplasty. Abdominoplasty is performed to remove excess fat and excess skin, as well as to tighten abdominal muscles. Abdominoplasty is very popular with patients who want to refine their waistlines following significant weight loss or pregnancy.
Who Can Benefit From a Tummy Tuck?
Abdominoplasty can be a great option for men and women alike. Virtually anyone who wants to eliminate excess skin and fat from their midsections can benefit from this procedure. Take a look at some of the most common reasons patients turn to Dr. Madjidi in Houston, TX, for abdominoplasty:
It can be incredibly difficult to shed those extra pounds and loose skin after giving birth. If you've had multiple children, it can feel downright impossible. Abdominoplasty can help you target those problem areas for better results than diet and exercise alone. During the procedure, Dr. Madjidi can also tighten the abdominal muscles, which often weaken during pregnancy, to improve core strength.
If you've taken the steps to lose weight and improve your health and quality of life, you have our admiration and congratulations. If you find yourself left with excess skin and stubborn pockets of fat after the weight loss process, you are not alone, and Dr. Madjidi can help. Tummy tuck surgery can be the perfect finishing touch to your weight loss journey, giving you the smooth contours you desire.
Many men naturally begin to gain weight in their 30s and 40s due to hormonal changes, slowing metabolism, and other factors out of their control. This weight tends to fall around the abdomen, and it can be very difficult to eliminate through diet and exercise. Undergoing abdominoplasty in combination with liposuction can give you a more youthful, masculine figure that you feel proud of.
Abdominoplasty Is Incredibly Popular

Dr. Madjidi never recommends procedures that are unsuitable for a patient. When you come to her Houston office, she will evaluate many areas to determine if a tummy tuck is right for you.
She will examine your medical history and all-around health to find anything that might make an abdominoplasty especially high-risk for you. She will also make sure that you are maintaining a stable, near-ideal weight and that you are not planning to have any more children. Pregnancy and weight fluctuations can both expand the abdominal wall and cause stretch marks, reversing tummy tuck results.

We Also Perform Mini Tummy Tucks
A mini tummy tuck is a less invasive alternative to a traditional tummy tuck. Mini tummy tucks are a more targeted surgery and only improve the area underneath the belly button.
Despite its limited scope, a mini tummy tuck can still provide noticeable abdominal definition. Mini tummy tucks also require smaller incisions, produce less scarring, and result in a swifter recovery than the traditional option.
While a mini tummy tuck offers many benefits, it is important to keep its capabilities in mind. They do not address the area above the belly button and cannot provide the same level of improvement as a full tummy tuck. They are also unsuitable if you have already had children.
Dr. Madjidi will recommend the best surgery for your unique needs.
Tummy Tucks Pair Brilliantly With Several Other Procedures
Pairing a tummy tuck with a complementary procedure can achieve truly transformative improvements. These are two especially in-demand combinations:
Tummy Tuck With Liposuction
Some patients struggle with excess fat deposits along with the issues a tummy tuck alone can address. By pairing fat-removing liposuction with a stomach-flattening tummy tuck, you can achieve a flattering comprehensive enhancement.
Tummy Tuck in a Mommy Makeover
A mommy makeover is a personalized combination of several plastic surgery procedures. It may include a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast augmentation, breast lift, and non-invasive skin tightening. Mommy makeovers can tighten excess skin, eliminate fat, address stretch marks, and more.
