    Why Dr. Sergey Turin of KODA Plastic Surgery is the Best

    Dr. Sergey Turin and his team at KODA Plastic Surgery are known as the best in the business, for good reason. Dr. Sergey customizes surgical approaches for every patient by creating a plan for all three issues that need to be addressed for an ideal trunk contour: skin, fat, and muscle. You can then get the best result with the minimal amount of surgery and scars necessary!

    Skin: Patients with minimal or moderately loose skin with high skin quality don’t need the same skin excision as a traditional tummy tuck! For these patients, we offer a mini-tummy tuck, a midi-tummy tuck, or liposuction to help the skin tighten up. For patients with a true roll or significant loose skin, we customize the pattern to remove all the extra skin, like a traditional tummy tuck or extend it over the hips for an extended tummy tuck or even a body lift.

    Fat: High-end liposuction treatments are our bread and butter here, so we will create a beautiful sculpting plan for you to help define your abs, sculpt your flanks, and get rid of the love handles. If you’re a leaner patient, we can do the sculpting directly, without liposuction, to minimize downtime and discomfort.

    Muscle: If your abdominal wall has been significantly stretched (pregnancies, massive weight loss), we can bring your muscles back together and give you that strong core back! We also repair any belly button hernias at the same time, of course. If you have no issues with the abdominal wall muscles, we can avoid this portion of the tummy tuck, speeding up your recovery considerably!

    The Tummy Tuck is a Functional Procedure

    You use your core every day; just think back to how you unconsciously engaged your abs the last time you stood up or picked something up off the floor. Moreover, our midsection is also the most obvious indicator of our fitness and a key factor in how we feel about our attractiveness. Can you remember the last time you saw a magazine cover without a chiseled set of abs or a sculpted belly?
    Being able to use your body effortlessly is anatomically functional. Being able to go to a pool party and enjoy it without being self-conscious is socially functional. Either way, life is better when your body works and looks how you want it to.
    Guess what? It gets better: removing the excess fat in some individuals can help improve your lipid markers, and fixing a poorly functioning abdominal wall can even help with back pain and urinary incontinence!
    We think it’s time we start thinking about tummy tucks not as purely aesthetic procedures but as a custom therapeutic approach to creating the midsection you need to live your best life.

    Who is the Right Person for a Tummy Tuck?

    Traditionally, the majority of patients requesting tummy tucks are pregnant women who would like their stomachs to look flat and tight. However, we are seeing more and more requests for these procedures from both men and women after significant weight loss (whether due to bariatric surgery or Ozempic/Mounjaro/GLP-1 drugs).

    Unfortunately, the loose skin and contour left behind by pregnancy and weight loss cannot be exercised or dieted away for most people, so it’s great that we have a very safe and very effective procedure for this! We also do custom procedures to help revise your appearance after injuries, prior hernia surgeries, poor C-section scar healing, etc.

    If you think you may be a candidate for this type of surgery, call or text us at (480) 256-8018, and we can schedule a consultation to discuss your options!

    Types of Tucks

    The No Tuck

    Sometimes, you just don’t want a scar, right? We often hear this and are always happy to work with patients who want an improved contour to their ab wall without a long scar. We can often achieve a beautiful improvement with liposuction, with or without fat transfer, and then let the skin contract naturally afterward. We can always upgrade to a skin excision procedure later, but most patients choosing this route are super happy with their improved contour and are ok with a little loose skin to avoid incisions.

    Mini-Tummy Tuck

    A mini tummy tuck is the smallest and least invasive variety of tummy tuck. It only addresses a small amount of skin excess right above the pubic region, so it is the best option for someone unhappy with the appearance of a C-section scar. It does not remove any real amount of skin and does not repair the muscles at all. Of course, it can be combined with liposuction for contouring, but in and of itself, it’s best thought of as a high-end C-section scar revision.

    Because it’s a smaller procedure, the recovery is faster, there is less discomfort, and the scar is quite short (just a little longer than a C-section scar), so it’s great for patients with that specific issue.

    MIDI Tummy Tuck

    A MIDI tummy tuck is phenomenal for someone with a mild to moderate amount of loose skin in the lower abdomen and a normal to high position for the belly button. It’s one of our favorite procedures because of how elegant it is!

    As the name implies, it’s between a mini and a full/traditional tummy tuck. The key differences are: the incision length is between a mini and a traditional tummy tuck; the muscle repair is a full muscle repair, same as a full tummy tuck; and the belly button is kept intact—so there is no scar around the belly button!

    We’re very proud of our beautiful tummy tuck belly buttons, but having no scar there is even better. Overall, a MIDI tummy tuck is one of the most in-demand procedures because it significantly improves the abdomen without requiring more extensive surgery.

    Hi Definition Tummy Tuck—Our Version of the Full/Traditional Abdominoplasty

    A hi definition tummy tuck uses a multidimensional approach to improve abdominal laxity and contour the abdomen. This type of tummy tuck is best for patients with significant loose skin, whether or not they are heavier or lean. This is the most powerful technique for removing extra skin in the abdomen and is the standard for MWL (massive weight loss) patients. The incision is always placed very low so that underwear and bathing suits cover it well, and we perform a lift of the pubic mons at the same time to create a smooth appearance all the way through.

    Additionally, lipo360 is used to sculpt and shape the torso, back, and love handles. This creates a tighter waist to complement the flatter front of the abdomen. When we reposition the ab muscles for patients who require it, the rectus diastasis is also repaired.

    One key benefit of this procedure is its ability to preserve abdominal definition and contour. Unlike a traditional tummy tuck, which achieves a flat abdomen, a high-definition tummy tuck significantly defines and contours the abdomen. Thanks to the incision placement, patients can enjoy wearing a low-cut bikini or underwear while hiding their incision scar.

    Extended Tummy Tuck

    An extended tummy tuck is ideal for individuals with much excess skin or fat on their lower belly, hips, or love handles. This body-sculpting procedure is common for individuals who have lost significant weight and are left with excess skin.

    This type of tummy tuck is more extensive than the ones mentioned above. A longer incision is made above the bikini line, extending from hip to hip. Additionally, the belly button is repositioned to look more anatomically correct. A surgeon removes excess fat and skin and tightens the abdominal wall muscles. This surgery is done in combination with 360 liposuction, providing a more comprehensive body contouring procedure. The surgical scar is generally concealable for most patients under a bathing suit or underwear.

    KODA Plastic Surgery Testimonials

    After 2 years of hard work to lose over 100 pounds, I found myself unsatisfied with the way my body did not "bounce back" like it did in my twenties. Dr. Turin was wonderful in educating me on options to further accomplish my goals. He was patient in answering all my questions and giving me realistic expectations going forward with a breast reduction and tummy tuck. I am amazed at the results and feel so much better. My chronic low back pain has even all but disappeared with the abdominal repair done during the abdominoplasty. I am so grateful to have Dr. Turin as a key partner in my journey to becoming my best self. If you are looking for a caring, compassionate, exceptionally skilled surgeon, Dr. Sergey Turin @ Koda Plastic Surgery is your last stop!

    Kristy G.

    I lost a lot of weight and was very unhappy with how much loose skin I had on my tummy and breast. I scheduled a consult with Dr. Turin for a mommy makeover and I was a bit nervous about it. Him and his staff made me feel comfortable and were a big help with answering any questions or concerns that I had. He made everything look much better and I feel more confident in my clothes. Thank you Dr. Turin you are amazing!!

    Beth T.

    Dr. Turin was amazing from start to finish. He explained everything to me and made sure I had a clear understanding beforehand. The procedure was near painless and he played my favorite artist during surgery. I wanted to look very natural and he delivered the results I wanted! Afterwards, he called to check on me and answered all of my questions. I am very happy I chose Dr. Turin.

    Angela P.

    I chose Dr. Turin in 2022 as my surgeon. I had gone to other offices to meet doctors and no one made me feel comfortable or heard like Dr. Turin did. From my very first consultation to our last follow up appointment, he was professional, welcoming and made me feel at ease. I was extremely nervous for my procedure and how my results and recovery would be. He educated me and made me feel at ease no matter how “silly” my question/concern was. My results were more than I could have ever imagined and highly recommend Dr. Turin to anyone interested!

    Amy V.

    I was extremely nervous and skeptical if I even wanted to have the procedure after having a bad exam and experience with a previous provider. Dr Turin answered my 1000s of questions and made me feel so comfortable with the decision and made sure I was 100 percent happy with every step of the process. So happy with my results. I would recommend Dr Turin to everyone! Best of the best!

    Tummy Tuck FAQs

    We always place the tummy tuck incision way low on the abdomen, hidden by your underwear or bathing suits. We actually ask you to bring your favorite pair with you when we mark you on the day of surgery so that we can be sure it’ll be hidden. The belly button incision is harder to hide, so we spend so much time on the belly button inset. Dr. Turin personally performs every part of the belly button inset to create a 3-dimensional and youthful appearance and hide the scar. He is also a published author on belly button reconstruction!

    Of course, without MIDI tummy tuck, you don’t have any scars around the belly button at all!

    Our patients are usually very surprised by the ease of their recovery compared to the average recovery story you’ll see online. You don’t need to walk bent over after surgery for a mini or MIDI tummy tuck! Dr. Turin also uses a very gentle dissection technique, avoiding thermal damage, which leads to less inflammation, less pain, and faster healing.

    For all our patients with a muscle repair, we ask them to hold off on exercise for 6 weeks and heavy lifting for up to 3 months, depending on whether there’s a hernia repair or the muscle separation is very wide. We also always use Exparel to numb the abdominal wall during the case, providing excellent pain relief so you’re comfortable when you wake up from surgery.

    The answer is that it’s up to you! Every patient and every body is different, so why would you treat yourself with a one-size-fits-all surgery? Our tummy tuck or abdominal sculpting procedures range in price from $9,500 to $25,000, depending on your goals, body, and timeline. We also offer financing, including 0% interest options through Cherry, PatientFI, and Carecredit.
