This procedure significantly enhances abdominal tone and contour; however, it leaves a horizontal incision line across the lower abdomen, which remains discreetly concealed beneath standard underwear or swimwear.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"17\">This procedure is particularly beneficial for women whose abdominal skin and muscular wall have stretched due to multiple pregnancies. Patients planning future pregnancies or significant weight loss should defer surgery until their family is complete and weight remains stable for at least 6 months.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"18\">Existing surgical scars located above the umbilicus (navel) from prior surgeries can compromise blood supply during skin flap elevation. Therefore, a comprehensive physical examination by your plastic surgeon prior to surgery is essential.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"19\">Thousands of successful abdominoplasty procedures are performed in Iran every year. When executed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, patient satisfaction is exceptionally high and complication rates remain low.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"21\">Anesthesia, Duration, and Surgical Techniques<\/h2>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"22\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"22,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"22,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Anesthesia:<\/b> Abdominoplasty is primarily performed under general anesthesia. However, depending on surgeon evaluation, spinal anesthesia combined with IV sedation may be utilized.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"22,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"22,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Duration:<\/b> The operation typically lasts between 3 to 4 hours.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"22,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"22,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Liposuction Combination:<\/b> Liposuction is frequently combined with abdominoplasty to sculpt the flanks and upper abdomen, achieving a refined, harmonious waistline.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"24\">C-Section Scars and Abdominal Stretch Marks<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"25\">If a previous Caesarean section (C-section) scar is located on the lower abdomen below the navel, it is typically excised along with the excess skin during abdominoplasty. The higher-quality, more elastic skin from above the navel is mobilized downward to form the new abdominal surface. Lower abdominal stretch marks (striae) are largely removed, leaving a single, neat surgical incision line along the bikini line.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"27\">Pre-Operative Care &amp; Guidelines<\/h2>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"28\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"28,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"28,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Smoking Interdiction:<\/b> Strictly avoid tobacco and smoking for at least 2 weeks before and after surgery.
