What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening underlying muscles. It helps patients achieve a smooth, firm, and youthful abdominal profile, especially after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. 

Who is it For?

  • Patients with loose, sagging abdominal skin
  • Individuals with stubborn belly fat resistant to diet and exercise
  • Those who want a toned, flat stomach and improved body contour
  • Ideal for men and women seeking premium surgical results and a confident silhouette

How the Procedure Works

  • Consultation & Assessment: Personalized evaluation of skin, fat, and muscle tone.
  • Anesthesia: General anesthesia ensures a safe, pain-free procedure.
  • Surgical Removal & Muscle Repair: Excess skin is removed, and weakened abdominal muscles are tightened for a firmer core.
  • Closure & Dressing: Incisions are carefully closed; drains and compression garments may be applied.
  • Recovery & Follow-Up: Close monitoring ensures optimal healing and a smooth, natural contour.

Recovery & Downtime

  • Mild swelling, bruising, or soreness may last 2–3 weeks
  • Most patients return to light daily activities within 1–2 weeks
  • Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for 4–6 weeks
  • Full results appear gradually over 2–3 months
