Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat, tightening the abdominal muscles, and contouring the waistline. This procedure is suitable for individuals who have loose or sagging abdominal skin and weakened abdominal muscles due to factors such as pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging. Abdominoplasty can address various concerns, including excess skin and fat, stretch marks, and abdominal bulging, resulting in a firmer, flatter, and more toned abdomen.
Abdominoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, resulting in a flatter, firmer, and more toned abdominal contour.
The procedure repairs and tightens the abdominal muscles, addressing muscle separation (diastasis recti) and improving core strength and stability.
Abdominoplasty can improve body proportions and restore a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing figure, particularly for individuals with significant abdominal laxity.

Recovery following abdominoplasty may involve a period of swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with pain medication and compression garments. Most patients can resume light activities within a few weeks, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks to allow for proper healing.
Abdominoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia and may take 2-5 hours, depending on the extent of the procedure. The surgery involves making incisions in the lower abdomen to remove excess skin and fat, tighten the abdominal muscles, and reposition the remaining tissues for a smoother and firmer appearance.
While individual results may vary, many patients experience a significant improvement in abdominal contour and firmness following abdominoplasty, with final results becoming apparent as swelling subsides and the tissues settle into their new position. With proper diet, exercise, and maintenance, the results of abdominoplasty can be long-lasting, providing a more sculpted and toned abdomen for years to come.
