Abdominoplasty Tummy Tuck Overview Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a body contouring procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles. It creates a flatter, firmer, and more toned abdominal profile, particularly after significant weight loss or pregnancy. Benefits Removes excess abdominal skin and stubborn fat Tightens weakened or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) Creates a flatter and firmer abdomen Improves waistline definition and body contours Reduces skin laxity and stretch marks located on the lower abdomen Enhances self-confidence and body image Ideal Candidates Individuals with loose abdominal skin, weakened abdominal muscles, or excess fat that has not improved with diet and exercise, especially following pregnancy or major weight loss. Procedure The procedure involves removing excess skin and fat through a carefully planned lower abdominal incision. The abdominal muscles are tightened, and the remaining skin is repositioned to create a smoother and firmer contour. Liposuction may be combined with abdominoplasty to further enhance body shaping when appropriate. Recovery Most patients can return to light daily activities within 2–3 weeks, while more strenuous exercise is generally resumed after 6–8 weeks, depending on the surgeon's recommendations and individual healing. Expected Results The abdomen appears flatter, tighter, and more sculpted, with improved body proportions and a smoother silhouette. Results are long-lasting when maintained with a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle.
