Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens underlying abdominal muscles. This results in a smoother, firmer, and more contoured abdomen. It is often performed after significant weight loss or pregnancy when skin elasticity is compromised. The procedure involves a horizontal incision typically below the bikini line, with careful attention to minimizing visible scarring. Recovery varies but generally includes some swelling and restrictions on activity. A tummy tuck can significantly improve body confidence and appearance for suitable candidates.
