    Advanced Abdominal Surgery at Egrari Plastic Surgery

    Double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sepehr Egrari, MD, FACS, leads one of Seattle’s most respected aesthetic centers, known for complex body contouring and exacting surgical standards. With decades of experience and national recognition within leading plastic surgery societies, Dr. Egrari performs abdominoplasty in our accredited Bellevue facility with deliberate focus on anatomy, scar placement, and long-term stability. If you are considering a tummy tuck in Seattle, we invite you to schedule a private consultation to explore your options.

    What Is a Tummy Tuck?

    A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a comprehensive procedure that removes excess abdominal skin and fat while repairing weakened or separated abdominal muscles. The objective is to restore a firmer abdominal wall and create a smoother, more proportionate waistline.

    The operation involves a low horizontal incision positioned along the lower abdomen for discreet concealment. When muscle separation is present, the abdominal wall is tightened to reinforce support. Redundant skin is removed, remaining tissue is redraped with precision, and the belly button is reshaped and repositioned to maintain a natural appearance. For patients who need additional refinement, liposuction may be incorporated to enhance contour along the flanks and create seamless transitions.

    Am I a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

    Candidates are typically healthy adults who are near their ideal weight and concerned about abdominal laxity that persists despite diet and exercise. Pregnancy-related muscle separation and skin redundancy after weight changes are common reasons for surgery. Non-smokers with stable weight and realistic expectations are generally well-suited. A thorough evaluation with Dr. Egrari determines candidacy and the safest surgical approach.

    Why Choose Egrari for Your Tummy Tuck?

    Dr. Egrari is recognized throughout Seattle and Bellevue for technically sophisticated abdominal reshaping and advanced drainless methods. His certifications through the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery reflect rigorous training beyond standard requirements. Each tummy tuck is carefully individualized, with particular attention to low scar placement, elegant umbilical contour, balanced flank shaping, and the subtle central indentation often referred to as the champagne line.

    How Much Does It Cost?

    The cost of tummy tuck surgery in Bellevue depends on the extent of skin removal, the degree of muscle repair, and whether adjunctive contouring is performed. Because surgical plans vary significantly from patient to patient, precise pricing is determined after an in-person assessment. Our team reviews all associated fees clearly so you can make an informed decision without uncertainty.

    What to Expect During Your Tummy Tuck Procedure

    Abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia in our fully accredited surgical center.

    Through a carefully positioned low incision, excess skin and fat are removed, the abdominal wall is tightened when indicated, and internal tissues are secured, often using a drainless progressive tension technique.

     Liposuction may be incorporated to refine surrounding contours, and the skin and belly button are meticulously reshaped to achieve a smooth, natural appearing result.

    Tummy Tuck Recovery and Results

    Recovery requires careful adherence to postoperative instructions to support optimal healing. Most patients return home the same day, begin light walking within one to two days, and resume non-strenuous daily activities in approximately ten to fourteen days. EXPAREL, a long-acting anesthetic, is routinely used to enhance early comfort, while more vigorous exercise is typically reintroduced after about six weeks.As swelling gradually subsides over the following months, the abdomen appears flatter and firmer with improved waistline definition. When body weight remains stable, results are enduring and structurally supportive.

    Drainless vs Traditional Tummy Tuck

    One of the defining distinctions in modern abdominoplasty is whether surgical drains are required during recovery. Dr. Egrari frequently performs a drainless tummy tuck using progressive tension suturing to secure internal tissue layers, though traditional techniques may be appropriate in select situations depending on anatomy and surgical findings.

    • Drainless tummy tuck: Utilizes layered internal suturing to eliminate the need for external drains, reduce fluid accumulation, and often support a more streamlined recovery experience.
    • Traditional tummy tuck: Involves placement of temporary surgical drains to remove excess fluid during early healing when tissue characteristics or surgical extent warrant additional support.

    Complementary and Related Procedures

    • Liposuction: Removes targeted fat deposits to further refine abdominal and flank contours.
    • Mommy makeover: Combines tummy tuck with breast enhancement to restore post-pregnancy balance.
    • Weight loss body contouring: Excises excess skin after significant weight reduction for comprehensive reshaping.
    • Brazilian butt lift: Transfers purified fat to enhance buttock projection and overall proportion.
    • Lower body lift: Elevates and tightens the abdomen, hips, and buttocks in patients with circumferential laxity.
