Tummy Tuck IN MONTREAL, QUEBEC
Excess skin and fat on your abdomen can make you feel uncomfortable and self-conscious. A tummy tuck — technically known as an abdominoplasty – can give you a flatter, firmer abdomen by removing unsightly fat and skin, as well as tightening your abdominal muscles.
Many of Dr Ali Izadpanah tummy tuck patients are very independent women who may be dissatisfied with their abdomen following pregnancy or weight loss. While foundation garments are a temporary solution, they can be uncomfortable and are not helpful in intimate situations. A tummy tuck is a way to restore your pre-pregnancy abdomen and regain their femininity.
For many of Dr Ali Izadpanah patients, the decision to have a tummy tuck is about more than their abdomen. The choice to have a tummy tuck signifies that they are finished having children and are ready to focus on themselves. Choosing to have a tummy tuck is a decision to feel more feminine and confident. Dr Ali Izadpanah’s goal is to help every patient look and feel her best.

ARE YOU A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A TUMMY TUCK?
You are a good candidate for a tummy tuck if, despite diet and exercise, you are unhappy with the appearance of your abdomen. An abdominoplasty is a good solution for women whose muscles have been stretched apart during pregnancy, as well as women who have excess fat and skin following weight loss.
You must also have realistic expectations for the surgery. Abdominoplasty is major surgery and is not a treatment for obesity. It is also not an effective treatment for stretch marks located above the umbilicus.
For the best results from a tummy tuck, you should also be close to your ideal weight and your weight should be stable. You should be physically healthy and not smoke. If you are planning to become pregnant in the future, Dr Ali Izadpanah recommends postponing your tummy tuck until after you have finished having children. She does not recommend you undergo a tummy tuck at the same time as a Caesarean section.
