What is Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) for?
A tummy tuck removes loose, excess abdominal skin and tightens weakened or separated abdominal muscles, creating a flatter, firmer profile that diet and exercise alone cannot achieve.
Benefits
- Flatter, firmer abdomen
- Repair of muscle separation
- Removal of many lower-abdominal stretch marks
- Improved core support and posture
Who benefits?
- Women after pregnancy
- Patients after significant weight loss
- Adults with loose skin resistant to exercise
- Those with an overhanging abdominal apron
Recovery time
Expect 2–3 weeks before returning to work, a compression garment for about 6 weeks, and no heavy lifting for 6–8 weeks.
