What Is Tummy Tuck?
Tummy Tuck, also known as Abdominoplasty, is a body contouring plastic surgery designed to tighten loose abdominal skin and strengthen the abdominal muscle wall. It is not a weight-loss but a contouring procedure that improves the shape and firmness of the abdomen and waist.
The procedure targets sagging skin, wrinkles, stretch marks, and weakened abdominal muscles which commonly result from pregnancy, significant weight loss, aging, or previous surgeries. In some cases, Tummy Tuck may be combined with liposuction to remove excess fat and enhance overall abdominal contour, provided it is approved by the doctor.
How It Works
Tummy Tuck works by surgically removing excess skin and tightening the abdominal muscles to restore a flatter and more toned appearance. After carefully planned incisions are made, the doctor at our affiliated clinic repairs and tightens the underlying muscle wall, removes loose or sagging skin, and redrapes the remaining skin smoothly across the abdomen. When combined with liposuction, excess fat is broken down and suctioned to further refine the waistline. The result is a firmer, smoother, and more proportionate abdominal contour.
Tummy Tuck Procedure
1. Consultation and examination will be conducted.
2. Local anesthesia will be administered.
3. Liposuction may be performed as suitable.
4. Abdominal muscles will be tightened.
5. Excess skin will be removed and reshaped.
6. Incisions will be closed and bandages will be applied.
7. A compression band or corset will be placed.
8. Post-care instructions will be provided.
Types of Tummy Tuck
· Full Abdominoplasty
This technique treats the entire abdominal area, both above and below the belly button. In addition to removing excess skin, the abdominal muscles are tightened to restore a firm abdominal wall. This approach is suitable for patients with significant skin laxity, muscle separation, or extensive changes due to pregnancy or major weight loss.
· Partial Abdominoplasty (Mini Tummy Tuck)
This technique focuses on the area below the belly button. It is ideal for patients with mild skin sagging, small fat deposits, or loose skin in the lower abdomen. Muscle tightening is not always required, and scars are minimal and typically hidden around the bikini line or belly button area.
