Tummy Tuck / Abdominoplasty Surgery

When a person loses a lot of weight after bariatric surgery or dieting (extreme weight loss) or after pregnancy, excess skin and fat develops in the abdomen. If you’re struggling with loose skin, stubborn belly fat, or weakened abdominal muscles—even after weight loss or pregnancy—a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) can help you regain a firm, toned midsection.

What Is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen and tightens the abdominal muscles for a smoother, flatter belly. It is especially beneficial for individuals who have:

  • Postpartum body changes
  • Loose skin after massive weight loss

    Targets both upper and lower abdomen. Ideal for patients with loose skin, muscle separation, and extensive fat accumulation.

  • Extended Tummy Tuck:
    Removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, flanks, and lower back. Suitable for post-bariatric or massive weight loss patients.
