Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Tummy tuck surgery, medically known as abdominoplasty, removes excess abdominal skin and may tighten weakened or separated abdominal muscles to improve abdominal contour after pregnancy, significant weight changes, or skin laxity.

Abdominoplasty is a surgical body-contouring procedure primarily intended to address loose abdominal skin and abdominal-wall laxity.

Unlike liposuction, which mainly targets localized fat, a tummy tuck focuses on excess skin and may also include abdominal muscle repair when clinically appropriate.

Treatment May Include
๐ Removal of excess abdominal skin
๐ Lower abdominal contouring
๐ Abdominal muscle tightening
๐ Umbilical repositioning in selected cases
๐ Combination with Liposuction where appropriate

May Be Suitable For
๐ Loose abdominal skin after pregnancy
๐ Excess skin after significant weight loss
๐ Abdominal muscle laxity
๐ Lower abdominal skin folds
๐ Patients seeking abdominal contour improvement

Recovery & Considerations
Recovery is generally more extensive than liposuction alone. Temporary swelling, tightness, discomfort, and reduced mobility may occur during early recovery. Patients should follow postoperative instructions regarding activity, wound care, and compression garments.
