Dr. Ahmadi, founder and owner of Avante Plastic Surgery, developed his innovative (and trademarked) technique called LipoTuck™, a combined tummy tuck and liposuction procedure, more than 20 years ago. A technique that combines two procedures in one surgery, LipoTuck is conducted in the surgical center attached to the Avante office in the heart of Sugar Land. Today, after two decades, the procedure is used by plastic surgeons everywhere and is often called 360 Lipo.
 
“We’re still perfecting the technique with every surgery we do. We need to make sure the belly button is pretty and the scars are low and thin,” Dr. Ahmadi explains. “It’s rewarding to see the newly found confidence in people who have never worn a two-piece swimsuit before. Some people cry because they’re able to wear something they never thought they’d be comfortable in.”
 
“Now a drainless procedure, recovery is faster and easier than ever,” Dr. Ahmadi continues. “People are able to return to their normal activity level quickly. The very next day after surgery, they walk themselves into my office and are usually driving the second week after surgery.”
 
Dr. Ahmadi has even developed a way to reduce post-op pain significantly without the use of narcotics. “Having a surgical center onsite makes it even easier for Fort Bend residents to have this procedure done,” he explains. “There’s no reason to drive into Houston when it’s available right in your own backyard.”
 
Dr. Ahmadi began his practice in 2002 and has been in the same location ever since. He is the longest-practicing plastic surgeon in the area and opened the first office-based surgery center for plastic surgery in Sugar Land. Dr. Ahmadi explains, “I just enjoy what I do. It’s so fun to see the transformations. I really like the challenge of plastic surgery.”
 
An expert at his LipoTuck technique, Dr. Ahmadi also does other types of plastic surgery, including: LipoTuck for the arms, face, and thighs; Deep Plane facelifts; thigh, arm, and flank lifts; plus-size tummy tucks; upper and lower eyelid lifts; rhinoplasty; post weight loss surgery; and more. “We even offer the ‘once in a decade’ chemical peel that can turn back the clock on aging significantly,” he says.
 
Any type of surgery can be nerve-wracking for patients, but Dr. Ahmadi quickly eases the anxiety for his patients. He explains everything in detail with a calm and soothing demeanor that immediately makes patients feel comfortable.
 
“I get a lot of hugs from patients after they see their results,” he says with an easy smile. “We’re successful here because we only do what we need to do … we don’t add unnecessary procedures. I’ve been doing this successfully for so many years that I can tell exactly how each patient will look in the end from the early moments in the consult room. We’re upfront and honest and just want you to be comfortable the minute you walk in the door.”
