Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) is a cosmetic surgery designed to improve the appearance of the abdomen.
During the procedure, the surgeon removes excess skin and fat and tightens the abdominal muscles if needed.
This results in a flatter, firmer, and more toned stomach. Tummy Tuck is especially popular for people who have sagging skin after pregnancy or significant weight loss.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision along the lower abdomen, removes excess skin and fat, and tightens the abdominal muscles if necessary.
The remaining skin is carefully repositioned to create a flat and natural-looking contour. The procedure usually takes 2–3 hours, and patients may need to stay in the clinic for 1–2 days.
