What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening the underlying muscles. This surgery is ideal for individuals who struggle with loose skin or a protruding abdomen, particularly after significant weight loss or pregnancy.

A tummy tuck helps restore a smoother, firmer, and more toned abdominal contour, enhancing overall body proportions. It is not a weight loss surgery but rather a body contouring procedure for those near their ideal weight.

What Happens During Surgery?

The tummy tuck procedure begins with the administration of general anaesthesia. Your surgeon will make a horizontal incision along the lower abdomen, typically hidden in the bikini line. Excess skin and fat are then removed, and the underlying abdominal muscles are tightened for a flatter, more toned appearance.

If necessary, liposuction may be used to remove stubborn fat deposits. The remaining skin is repositioned and stitched to create a smooth, well-contoured abdomen. The procedure typically takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the extent of the surgery.

After the surgery, you will need to wear a compression garment to support your healing process and reduce swelling.

Is a Tummy Tuck Right for Me?

A tummy tuck is ideal for individuals who have excess skin or fat in the abdominal area, especially after significant weight loss, or aging. It is not a solution for obesity or a substitute for weight loss. The procedure works best for those who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the results.

If you are considering a tummy tuck, it is essential to maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle to sustain your results.

A tummy tuck provides a flatter, firmer, and more toned abdominal appearance by removing excess skin and fat that resist diet and exercise. It improves body proportions, enhances contours, and delivers long-lasting results, boosting self-confidence.
As with any surgical procedure, tummy tuck surgery carries some risks. These may include temporary swelling, bruising, and scarring, which are typically minor and fade over time. In rare cases, complications such as infection, poor healing, or changes in sensation may occur. However, following post-operative care instructions reduces the risk of these complications.
