Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a popular cosmetic surgery designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening the abdominal muscles. It is ideal for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging, leading to loose, sagging skin or a protruding abdomen.

Benefits of a Tummy Tuck

  • Removes Excess Skin & Fat – Achieve a smoother, firmer abdomen.
  • Tightens Abdominal Muscles – Restores muscle tone after pregnancy or weight loss.
  • Improves Body Contours – Creates a more defined, sculpted shape.
  • Enhances Posture & Confidence – Stand taller and feel more confident in your appearance.
  • Permanent Results – Long-lasting improvements with a stable weight.

Types of Tummy Tucks

  • Full Tummy Tuck – Removes excess skin and fat from the upper and lower abdomen, tightens muscles, and creates a more contoured look.
  • Mini Tummy Tuck – Targets the lower abdomen for a less invasive approach with smaller incisions.
  • Extended Tummy Tuck – Ideal for individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight, removing skin from the flanks and lower back as well.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

  • You have excess skin or fat in the abdominal area that does not respond to diet or exercise.
