Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to improve the contour of the abdomen by removing excess skin and, if necessary, addressing fat tissue and tightening the abdominal muscle wall.

This procedure may be considered for both men and women who have loose abdominal skin following pregnancy, significant weight loss, or changes in skin elasticity due to aging. Each treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s physical condition, skin quality, and goals following a direct examination by a doctor.

For suitable candidates, a tummy tuck can help:

• Reduces excess skin in the lower abdomen

• Creates a flatter , more proportionate abdominal contour

• Helps tighten the abdominal wall in certain conditions, including diastasis recti, as determined by a doctor

• RImproves comfort when dressing if loose skin or abdominal folds are bothersome

• Helps improve the appearance of scars or stretch marks on the lower abdomen that are removed during the procedure

Results may vary from patient to patient, depending on the initial condition, surgical technique, healing process, changes in body weight, and adherence to postoperative instructions.

A tummy tuck is not a substitute for a weight-loss program. This procedure is generally considered when a patient’s weight is relatively stable, but there is still excess skin or abdominal contouring that does not improve with diet and exercise.

During the consultation, the doctor will evaluate the condition of the skin, fat thickness, strength of the abdominal wall, history of pregnancy or previous surgeries, overall health, and the patient’s expectations. This evaluation helps determine whether a tummy tuck, liposuction, a combination of both, or another option is the most appropriate procedure.
