Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
What is Abdominoplasty?
Abdominoplasty, or a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure aimed at reshaping the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying muscles. This transformative surgery is especially beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy, or abdominal changes due to aging.
Understanding the Aesthetic Impact
The abdominal area is a central focus of the body's aesthetic, and changes such as sagging skin, weakened muscles, and stubborn fat deposits can affect one's confidence. Abdominoplasty is a versatile procedure that addresses these concerns, resulting in a flatter, more toned, and youthful abdominal profile.

At our clinic, we recognize that each individual has a unique abdominal structure and aesthetic goals. Our experienced plastic surgeons take a personalized and customized approach to abdominoplasty, ensuring that the procedure is tailored to address your specific concerns. Whether you're seeking to restore pre-pregnancy contours, address post-weight loss concerns, or rejuvenate your abdominal appearance, our goal is to deliver results that enhance your natural beauty.
The Abdominoplasty Procedure
Consultation and Planning
The journey towards a firmer abdomen begins with a comprehensive consultation. During this initial meeting, our plastic surgeons will assess your abdominal anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and address any questions or concerns you may have. This collaborative approach ensures that your abdominoplasty procedure is uniquely tailored to meet your expectations.
Anesthesia
Abdominoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure the patient's comfort and a pain-free experience during the procedure.
Incisions
Our skilled surgeons make incisions strategically placed in natural body creases to minimize visible scarring. The choice of incision locations depends on the extent of correction needed and the specific areas targeted.
Skin and Fat Removal
Once the incisions are made, excess skin and fat are carefully removed, revealing a firmer and more contoured abdominal area. This step also allows for the tightening of underlying muscles, addressing any abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti).
Liposuction for Enhanced Contouring
In some cases, liposuction may be incorporated to further enhance the contouring effects of the tummy tuck, targeting stubborn fat deposits in surrounding areas.
Closing Incisions
After the necessary adjustments are made, the incisions are meticulously closed with sutures, ensuring minimal scarring and promoting optimal healing.
Recovery and Aftercare
Following abdominoplasty, patients can expect some swelling and bruising, with full recovery typically occurring over several weeks. Our dedicated team provides thorough post-operative care instructions, and our surgeons are readily available to address any concerns during the recovery period.
