Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

---

Abdominoplasty restores a flatter, firmer abdomen by removing excess skin and tightening

the abdominal muscles. It is often combined with liposuction of the flanks to create a more

defined, hourglass shape and improved overall body contour. This procedure is especially

beneficial after pregnancy or weight loss.

During consultation, your surgeon will assess skin laxity, muscle separation, and

determine the precise technique and incision placement required. The incision is typically

hidden low on the abdomen, beneath the underwear line for minimal visibility.

Recovery:

• 1 week resting at home

• Postoperative drains are required and are easy to manage

• Compression garments are worn to support healing and reduce swelling

• Postoperative lymphatic massage is helpful for reducing swelling, improving contour, and

minimizing scar tissue formation

• Full recovery at 6 weeks
