What is a Tummy Tuck?

The tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty is a procedure that involved removal of excess fat and skin. It helps restore the weakened or separated muscles by building a smooth and firm abdominal profile.

Best Candidate for a Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck surgery is appropriate for both men and women in good health. Women with several pregnancies can benefit from this procedure as it tightens abdominal muscles and reduce the skin.

Who is Not a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

Women planning to get pregnant in future or lose a lot of weight should not opt for a tummy tuck surgery.

The Procedure

The procedure takes anywhere from 1-5 hours. Patient is put under general anaesthesia. Our surgeon will create a horizontally-oriented incision in the area between the belly button and the pubic hairline for a full tummy tuck. The overall length and shape of the incision will depend on excess skin. The abdominal skin is lifted to repair underlying weak abdominal muscles.

Surgeon will make second incision around the navel to remove the excess skin in the upper abdomen. The skin is pulled down and trimmed. Rest of the skin is sutured together and a new belly button opening for is created. Incisions will be closed by using tapes, skin adhesives, clips, or sutures.

The Final Result
