What is a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a body contouring procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the weakened abdominal muscles to create a flat, firm, and well-shaped stomach. It is the ideal solution for patients who cannot achieve a tight abdomen through diet and exercise alone, especially after pregnancy or major weight loss.

Who is a good candidate for a tummy tuck?

This procedure is recommended for patients who:
• Have loose or sagging abdominal skin
• Have stretched abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
• Have stubborn fat in the lower abdomen
• Have undergone significant weight loss
• Want a tighter and flatter waistline

Is a tummy tuck a weight-loss procedure?

No. A tummy tuck is not for weight loss, it is a reshaping procedure designed to remove excess skin and tighten the abdominal wall for a more sculpted body contour.
