Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and repairs weakened or separated abdominal muscles to improve contour and core support. The operation can be tailored as a full, mini, or extended abdominoplasty depending on the amount and location of excess tissue, and is usually performed under general anesthesia with an incision placed low on the abdomen to minimise visible scarring.

Recovery typically includes wearing a compression garment, avoiding heavy lifting for several weeks, and following wound-care instructions to reduce risks such as seroma, infection, or unfavourable scarring; swelling gradually subsides and final results may take months to fully appear. Good candidates are in stable health and at a stable weight, and many patients combine abdominoplasty with liposuction or other body-contouring procedures to address multiple concerns in a single surgical plan.
