What is the difference between a tummy tuck and a 3D body lift? | Dr. Aric Aghayan

Are you trying to figure out your next steps after losing weight on GLP-1 medications? In this episode of Big Butts No Lies, Mavi sits down with board-certified Portland plastic surgeon Dr. Aric Aghayan to talk about the reality of body contouring after significant weight loss.
Dr. Aghayan breaks down why a traditional tummy tuck only addresses two-dimensional, post-pregnancy changes in the front, and why anyone who has lost more than 50 pounds is likely a much better candidate for a 360-degree 3D body lift. We dive deep into the absolute complexities of the belly button, including how surgeons use "origami" techniques to create a completely new belly button when the original tissue has been severely stretched out. Dr. Aghayan also introduces us to Preservation Breast Augmentation—the biggest innovation in breast surgery since the 90s—which uses a balloon technique to protect your natural nerves and blood vessels, eliminates lifting restrictions, and allows patients to get back to the gym in just one week. Plus, we get his unfiltered, rapid-fire takes on the "religion" of lymphatic massages, his rules on post-BBL sitting, and when he chooses to use surgical drains versus going drain-free.
