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.
What is Dr. Alizadeh’s Custom NaturaTuck® Abdominoplasty in NYC?
The NaturaTuck® procedure uses multilayer management to address three layers of tissue:
- Muscle - correction of diastasis recti, which is a separation of the left and right abdominal muscles during pregnancy
- Fat - excess fat is contoured for a natural look
- Skin - excess skin is removed
- The procedure uses LTAP (long-acting anesthetic blocks), which numb the entire abdomen for 3-4 days to ensure minimal pain and fast recovery.
- There is minimal drain or no drain management to minimize swelling and discomfort.
- Dr. Alizadeh's Naturatuck® procedure uses proprietary lateral suspension suturing techniques to create an internal corset, which narrows the waste and gives the body a more shapely, athletic look.
- Dr. Alizadeh's umbilical reshaping technique in the NaturaTuck® procedure was born out of his research in the laboratory and takes advantage of the natural contours of the belly button to minimize scarring and maximize the shadows and contours of a youthful abdomen.
- In addition, they use the ON-Q Pain Relief System and EXPAREL®, a long-lasting, non-narcotic anesthetic agent, to numb the abdomen for up to five days after your tummy tuck surgery. These state-of-the-art anesthesia options translate to an optimal recovery with minimal pain and a faster return to work and daily life. In fact, they popularly call his NaturaTuck® Abdominoplasty the "no pain, no drain" tummy tuck.
