At our Beverly Hills practice, Dr. Obaid Chaudhry specializes in helping patients put the finishing touch on their transformation. A tummy tuck can sculpt and redefine your midsection, delivering the flat, toned abdominal profile you’ve worked so hard for.
A tummy tuck, medically known as an abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure expertly designed to create a smoother, firmer, and more contoured abdominal profile. It is the gold standard for correcting issues that cannot be resolved through lifestyle changes alone:
Loose, Sagging Skin: Surgically removes the excess skin that hangs or folds over.
Separated Abdominal Muscles: Repairs the gap between the rectus abdominis muscles (a condition called diastasis recti) to strengthen the core and create a flatter abdomen.
Stubborn Fat: Removes localized fat deposits in the abdominal area.
Stretch Marks: Can eliminate many stretch marks, particularly those located on the skin that is removed.
Personalized care is the cornerstone of our practice. Dr. Obaid Chaudhry believes that exceptional results come from a surgical plan tailored to the individual. During your one-on-one consultation, he will conduct a thorough evaluation of your anatomy and listen carefully to your aesthetic goals. This allows him to design a procedure that addresses your specific concerns.
The abdominoplasty procedure typically involves an incision made low on the abdomen, where it can be easily concealed by underwear or a bikini bottom. Through this incision, Dr. Chaudhry will:
Repair the Muscles: Suture the separated abdominal muscles back together at the midline, creating an internal corset that tightens the core and narrows the waist.
Remove Excess Skin: Expertly trim away the excess skin to create a taut, smooth surface.
Refine the Contours: Often combine the procedure with liposuction to precisely sculpt the waist, hips, and flanks, ensuring your final result is beautifully proportioned and natural-looking.
With Dr. Chaudhry, you can be confident that your procedure will be planned and performed with the highest level of skill and artistry.
A tummy tuck is a significant surgical procedure, and a dedicated recovery period is essential for proper healing. Dr. Chaudhry and our team will provide comprehensive post-operative instructions to guide you through this process.
As a general guideline, you should plan on:
Downtime: Taking 1-2 weeks off from work and most daily activities.
Activity Restrictions: Limiting strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for at least 4-6 weeks.
Common Symptoms: Experiencing soreness, bruising, and swelling. Pain medication will be prescribed to keep you comfortable, and a compression garment must be worn to support the healing tissues and reduce swelling.

You may be a good candidate if you have excess abdominal skin, weakened muscles, or a protruding midsection due to weight changes, pregnancy, or aging. Ideal patients are in good health, near their goal weight, and have realistic expectations about the outcome. A consultation will help determine the best surgical plan for your body.
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the underlying abdominal muscles to restore a flat, firm midsection. It’s often used to repair diastasis recti (separation of abdominal muscles) and can dramatically improve body contour and core strength.
Recovery usually involves 1–2 weeks of downtime, with most patients returning to light activities after two weeks. Full recovery can take 6–8 weeks, especially if muscle repair was done. You’ll need to wear a compression garment, avoid heavy lifting, and follow your surgeon’s guidelines closely during healing.
A tummy tuck is not a weight-loss procedure, but it can remove several pounds of skin and fat and create a slimmer, flatter shape. Many patients find their clothing fits better and feel more confident in their bodies. The best results occur when combined with a healthy lifestyle.

In a full tummy tuck, the belly button is repositioned to match your new abdominal contour. It’s reshaped and placed through a small opening in the newly tightened skin, resulting in a natural, aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Yes, a horizontal scar is made along the lower abdomen, typically low enough to be hidden by underwear or swimwear. With proper scar care and time, it fades significantly and becomes less noticeable. Your surgeon will guide you through post-op scar treatment options.
Absolutely. A tummy tuck is often combined with liposuction, breast surgery, or other body contouring procedures as part of a Mommy Makeover or total transformation. Combining procedures can enhance results and minimize recovery time overall.
Tummy tuck results are long-lasting, especially with a stable weight and healthy habits. While aging will continue naturally, skin and muscle improvements from the procedure are permanent. Significant weight gain or pregnancy afterward can alter results, so timing matters.
