Tummy Tuck

Tummy tucks, or abdominoplasty, is a surgery that focuses on cosmetic improvement of the abdomen by performing the following:

• Removing excess skin and fat from the abdominal area.
• Repairing weakened or separated abdominal muscles.
• Forming a smooth and toned abdominal profile.
• Men and women alike are opting for tummy tuck surgery for diverse reasons.

Concerns such as post pregnancy stretch marks, skin laxity, and stubborn fat that dieting and exercising can't help are also addressed with the surgery.

The following list defines a suitable candidate for tummy tuck surgery:

• Suffering from sagging or excess skin around the abdomen.
• Having weakened or separated muscles, commonly referred to as “Divarication of Recti.”
• Possessing excess fat tissue localized to the abdominal area.
• Having a protruding abdomen which is disproportionate to the rest of the body.
• In good overall health, with preferably a BMI of less than 30.

• Mini Tummy Tuck
• Full Tummy Tuck
• Extended Tummy Tuck

We will position your scar along your natural bikini line, and while it will initially be visible, it will fade with time. In addition, we provide advanced treatments and medical-grade scar products as well as laser therapies to improve its appearance.

Postoperative care for a tummy tuck is simple, but needs some care:

• Light movement and activities may be taken up within a few days
• Initial healing will include some swelling and discomfort
• Most patients will expect to return to light, non-strenuous activities within 1-3 weeks
• In addition, a garment for compression will be needed for about 4 weeks to shape and support retention while healing.
