Abdominoplasty

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a body-contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal region while tightening the muscles, resulting in a flatter, more defined midsection. It’s not a weight-loss surgery, but it improves body contours and can boost confidence. To achieve lasting results, maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise is recommended.

Surgery details—such as technique selection, skin removal, and muscle repair—are determined during a pre-operative examination. Recovery involves a hospital stay of 1 to 3 days, wearing a supportive corset for about 6 weeks, and avoiding heavy activities during this period. Proper aftercare, including adjustments to diet and lifestyle, can minimize complications like gas, bloating, and visible scarring. In addition to a tummy tuck, other aesthetic procedures—like arm and thigh lifts or liposuction—can address changes in other areas of the body resulting from weight fluctuations or pregnancy.
