Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Annandale, VA | Dr. Khalique S. Zahir, MD

Understanding Abdominoplasty in Northern Virginia

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a specialized surgical procedure designed for candidates with specific abdominal challenges. The treatment targets patients with loose abdominal skin, significant fat deposits unresponsive to diet and exercise, and post-pregnancy skin laxity.

Comprehensive Tummy Tuck Procedure

Dr. Khalique S. Zahir's tummy tuck procedure involves strategic surgical techniques to reshape and rejuvenate the abdominal area. Key aspects of the surgery include:

• Removing up to one-third of lower abdominal wall skin
• Eliminating stretch marks and excess fat
• Reinforcing abdominal muscles with permanent sutures
• Creating a more youthful, flat abdominal profile

Advanced Surgical Approaches

Standard Abdominoplasty

The standard tummy tuck focuses on tightening abdominal muscles and removing excess skin. The procedure preserves the belly button while repositioning it to complement the new contour.

Circumferential Tummy Tuck (Belt Abdominoplasty)

Reserved for patients with significant weight loss, this advanced technique removes excess skin circumferentially. The procedure creates both vertical and horizontal incisions, effectively restoring a more defined waistline.

Ideal Candidates for Tummy Tuck

Candidates typically include individuals experiencing:

• Post-pregnancy abdominal changes
