Frequently Asked Questions About Dr. Mazaheri Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
How Is Skin Removal Achieved With a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck—also known as abdominoplasty —is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the abdominal muscles.
How Much Weight Do You Lose With a Tummy Tuck?
The amount of weight you lose depends on how much skin and fat is removed during the procedure. With that said, keep in mind that a tummy tuck is not designed for weight loss. It’s designed to remove excess fat and skin and tighten the skin and muscles.
When Is the Right Time to Have a Tummy Tuck After a C-Section?
An ideal tummy tuck patient should meet the following criteria:
1. Maintain a stable weight for three to six months after giving birth
2. Be in good physical condition
3. Not be pregnant or plan to be pregnant in the future
4. Have a recommendation for the procedure from their doctor
What Is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift—also called a mastopexy or boob lift—takes saggy boobs and turns them into perky breasts.
Do I Need Breast Implants to Fix Sagging Breasts?
You don’t need breast implants to fix sagging breasts. The breast lift alone achieves this goal. However, you may choose to undergo a breast lift and a breast augmentation to lift the breasts and enhance breast volume.
Can Saggy Breasts Be Lifted Naturally?
Implementing habits like proper posture, diet, and hydration benefit the health of your skin, including the skin on your breasts. However, these habits can only do so much. Only a breast lift can provide the solution you want for your sagging breasts.
Is Semaglutide Another Yo-Yo Diet?
Unfortunately, semaglutide can end up being a yo-yo diet if you’re not careful.
Studies have shown that weight regain is common when you stop using semaglutide. This is because when you’re on the medication, your appetite is so small that you may not take in enough calories. This can put you into a starvation-like state that your body responds to by increasing your hunger and appetite, as well as your fat production.
Is Semaglutide Good for Weight Loss?
The short answer is yes. Semaglutide is extremely successful in helping people lose weight. It’s particularly triumphant for those with type 2 diabetes and obesity.
However, they are intended to be used as a tool in combination with a healthy lifestyle. If you’re solely dependent on semaglutide for weight loss, it is likely that you will regain the weight after you stop taking it

Being able to put your care first during your recovery is vital to ensure lasting results.
