3D Abdominoplasty in Oklahoma City, OK

A 3D abdominoplasty, also known as a full tummy tuck, addresses the stubborn fat and loose skin in the stomach area that many people have issues with. Our skilled team at Sawan Surgical Aesthetics can provide marvelous results, helping to make you feel younger, more attractive, and give you a firmer, more appealing stomach. This is a great option if you struggle to get rid of large, annoying fatty areas in your mid-section with a healthy diet and exercise or if you have loose, baggy skin on your stomach due to natural aging or pregnancy. During your tummy tuck, plastic surgeon Dr. Sawan will start by removing excess fat and skin from your stomach and will then tighten your abdominal muscles. During your 3D abdominoplasty, your lower back and flanks will also be addressed, thus creating a well-rounded 3D change to your body. After your tummy tuck, you'll feel more confident in bathing suits and clothing that highlight the waist.

You may be qualified to get a 3D abdominoplasty if you continue to struggle to get rid of stubborn belly fat. Sometimes known as a "celebrity tummy tuck," a full tummy tuck is suitable for both men and women who have a moderate amount of excess skin in their midsection. It's important that if you're considering a tummy tuck that you are at or near your ideal weight since losing or gaining weight could impact your results. If you have further questions about whether or not you're a good candidate for a 3D abdominoplasty, contact Sawan Surgical Aesthetics for a consultation with plastic surgeon Dr. Sawan.

Considered an outpatient procedure, a tummy tuck is performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility, taking around two hours to complete. At the start of your surgery, an incision will be made that extends from one hip bone to another, giving Dr. Sawan full access to your midsection. Liposuction will be used to remove fat, and the abdominal muscles are pulled and tightly secured. The belly button is usually repositioned for natural placement, as well. From there, Dr. Sawan will address your lower back and flanks to ensure that both your front and back are symmetrical and achieve the look you desire.

After surgery, we will have you wear a compression garment for the duration discussed with Dr. Sawan in order to successfully heal. The first 48 hours should be devoted to rest. While you should do your best to move around in order to help promote blood circulation, you should only attempt to initially stand at a 45-degree angle in order to protect your incisions. Pain medication will be provided to help with any post-operative discomfort. You will probably notice some results immediately, but you should see full results as your swelling dissipates, which can take a few weeks. You will likely be able to get back to your everyday activities after 4 – 6 weeks.

3D abdominoplasty takes traditional tummy tuck surgery a step further by approaching the midsection with a more comprehensive and sculpted strategy. Instead of focusing only on excess skin removal, this technique addresses underlying structure, contour, and definition to create a more natural and dynamic result. It is particularly beneficial for patients who want a more refined waistline and improved overall silhouette. With modern surgical planning and technique, recovery is more streamlined, and results are designed to look balanced from every angle. Key benefits of Dr. Sawan's 3D tummy tuck approach include:

• Flatter abdomen
• Defined waistline
• Improved core contour
• Removal of excess skin
• More natural results
• Better-fitting clothes

This approach allows patients to achieve a more complete transformation that looks and feels cohesive rather than simply tightened.

How long will my results from a 3D abdominoplasty last?

The results of your tummy tuck can be long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight through a healthy diet and regular exercise. Significant weight fluctuations after surgery can alter the appearance of your abdomen and compromise the outcome. Following any post-operative instructions given by Dr. Sawan will also help ensure the longevity of your results.

Will I have noticeable scars after a 3D abdominoplasty?

Yes, a 3D abdominoplasty requires an incision that runs from hip to hip, resulting in a scar. At Sawan Surgical Aesthetics, we strategically place the incision low on the abdomen so it can typically be hidden by underwear or a swimsuit. Over time, the scar will fade, and our team will provide guidance on scar care to minimize its appearance.

Can I combine a 3D abdominoplasty with other procedures?

Yes, it is common to combine a tummy tuck with other cosmetic procedures, such as a breast lift or breast augmentation, often as part of a "mommy makeover." Combining surgeries can reduce overall recovery time and help you achieve more comprehensive results. Discuss your aesthetic goals with our team during your consultation in Oklahoma City, OK, to determine the best plan for you.
