Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening weakened or separated muscles.
This procedure helps create a smoother, firmer, and more toned midsection, ideal for individuals dealing with sagging skin after weight loss, pregnancy, or aging.
For mothers with loose skin or weakened abdominal muscles.
Ideal for those with excess skin after major weight reduction.
Targets fat that diet and exercise can't eliminate.
Minimizes scars and stretch marks in the lower abdomen.
Repairs and strengthens separated or weak muscles.
The surgery involves making an incision just above the pubic area, often hidden by underwear or swimwear.
Excess skin and fat are removed, and the abdominal muscles are tightened. In some cases, liposuction may be combined to enhance results. The belly button is repositioned for a natural look. The procedure typically takes 3–4 hours and is performed under general anesthesia.
