NJ CORE Abdominoplasty Vs. Traditional Tummy Tuck

Body contouring procedures can help achieve a sculpted figure and repair damaged abdominal muscles. Patients who experience excess skin and fat of the abdomen following weight loss or pregnancy may benefit from tummy tuck surgery.

Abdominoplasty is meant to create a toned, firm midsection by repairing weakened muscles while addressing excess skin and fat. Abdominoplasty is ideal for individuals who have undergone a considerable amount of weight loss or women who have weakened stomach muscles due to pregnancy. Traditional tummy tuck surgery removes excess skin and fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. While traditional tummy tuck surgery is an effective body contouring solution, it can sometimes miss abdominal bulges. CORE Abdominoplasty℠ is a revolutionary method of abdominoplasty pioneered by Dr. Asaadi that targets fat traditional techniques may miss.

Traditional Tummy Tuck

Traditional tummy tuck surgery is one of the most common body sculpting procedures performed. Tummy tuck utilizes an incision made in the lower abdomen to remove excess fat and skin, followed by tightening of the muscles before closing the incision. During surgery, the patient is lying completely flat. A traditional tummy tuck can achieve a slimmer waistline by repositioning stomach muscles closer together and simultaneously correct the belly button.

CORE Abdominoplasty℠

CORE Abdominoplasty℠ was developed by Dr. Asaadi to remove excess fat and skin with more precision. The difference between this procedure is that the patients undergo a “Table Tilt Test”, which repositions the patient into a semi-sitting position at a 45° angle during surgery. Because the patient is still under general anesthesia, the body can fully rest and further bulges can be detected. Dr. Asaadi then proceeds to tighten additional muscles as needed to achieve the flattest midsection possible. CORE Abdominoplasty℠ is more ideal for patients with moderate weight loss as significant amounts of fat being adjusted can lead to health complications following the procedure.

A traditional tummy tuck surgery and CORE Abdominoplasty℠ can help patients remove excess fat and skin of the lower abdomen. While both methods of abdominoplasty can achieve a natural-looking, firm figure for patients, CORE Abdominoplasty℠ is a more comprehensive procedure.

During a consultation at Asaadi Plastic Surgery, Dr. Asaadi will take into consideration your anatomy, health, and cosmetic goals to determine if you are a candidate for abdominoplasty and help determine which method is right for you.
