Tummy Tuck

Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to:

• Remove excess or overhanging abdominal skin

• Reduce localized fat deposits (if clinically indicated)

• Repair separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)

• Support improved abdominal contour and posture

The procedure may be performed for both women and men based on clinical assessment.

You may be considered for tummy tuck surgery if you have:

• Loose abdominal skin after pregnancy or weight loss

• A protruding abdomen that does not improve with exercise

• Abdominal muscle separation

• Excess skin or fat in the lower abdomen

• Stable body weight and overall good health

The type of abdominoplasty performed depends on clinical assessment and the extent of correction required.

Mini Tummy Tuck

Performed for mild skin laxity limited to the lower abdomen. It involves a smaller incision and addresses the area below the navel.

Full Tummy Tuck

Addresses the entire abdominal area and includes muscle repair and skin removal from both the upper and lower abdomen.

Extended / Circumferential Abdominoplasty

Used when excess skin extends to the flanks or lower back, often after major weight loss. It may be combined with liposuction when clinically appropriate.

Male Tummy Tuck

Planned according to male anatomy and body contouring requirements based on clinical evaluation.

Tummy tuck surgery may provide:

• Improved abdominal contour and firmness

• Improved posture due to muscle repair

• Improved clothing fit

• Reduced skin irritation or rashes caused by excess skin

• Results that can be maintained with stable weight and healthy lifestyle habits

The surgical steps typically include:

• Placement of an incision in the lower abdominal area

• Removal of excess skin and fat

• Repair of abdominal muscles when required

• Repositioning of the navel (for full abdominoplasty)

• Closure of incisions using surgical sutures

The procedure usually takes 2 to 4 hours and is performed under general anesthesia.

As with any surgical procedure, tummy tuck surgery carries potential risks, including:

• Temporary swelling or bruising

• Scarring that may become less visible over time

• Temporary numbness around the incision area

• Infection or fluid accumulation

All procedures are performed following recognized medical standards, with pre-operative assessment and post-operative follow-up provided to support safe recovery.

Recovery varies depending on the procedure and individual healing response.

Typical recovery milestones include:

• Light walking encouraged early to support circulation

• Wearing a compression garment as instructed

• Return to desk-based work: approximately 2 weeks

• Resumption of exercise: 4 to 6 weeks

• Gradual improvement in results over several months

Patients receive structured aftercare guidance and follow-up appointments to monitor healing.

The cost of tummy tuck surgery varies based on the type of procedure, surgical complexity, operating time, and hospital and anesthesia fees. A detailed cost estimate is provided after clinical consultation and assessment.
