What is Tummy Tuck?

  Liposuction is an effective method for reducing the amount of excess fat around the abdominal area. However, it is important to note that this procedure cannot be a solution for sagging skin. If you are experiencing sagging and flabby abdominal fat or excessive stretching, liposuction alone may not be adequate to achieve your desired waistline contours.

Tummy Tuck is recommended if:

• You want to remove sagging skin with minimal scarring and fast recovery

• You desire to eliminate postpartum stretch marks or flabbiness

• You are seeking a more curvaceous and contoured S-line figure

• You want to eliminate uneven body fat resulting from unsuccessful liposuction and to attain a smoother and more refined body contour

• You want a flat and slim belly and waistline

Types of Tummy Tuck

• Total Abdominoplasty

Total Abdominoplasty combines liposuction and lifting, as a result, excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen, and the abdominal muscles are tightened. The procedure can help to address issues such as sagging skin, excess fat, and weakened abdominal muscles, often resulting from significant weight loss or pregnancy. The result of total abdominoplasty is a flatter, firmer, and more toned abdomen.

• Mini Abdominoplasty

Mini abdominoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves small incisions in the lower abdomen through which a camera and surgical instruments are inserted to improve the appearance of the lower abdomen for individuals with a small amount of excess skin or fat. This procedure is highly recommended if your sagging is concentrated around the lower abdomen. Mini abdominoplasty results in less scarring, less pain, and a shorter recovery time compared to traditional abdominoplasty.

Step 1. Thorough analyses are made before the surgery. In-body check is done at the same time.

Step 2. Based on the analysis, a doctor designs a desired bodyline for the patient.

Step 3. The incision is made after the anesthesia is performed. The length and number of incisions depend on the type of technique applied.

Step 4. Sagging and weak muscles are tightened, and then the skin is pulled down to create a tight and smooth tummy. Loose skin is trimmed away. Liposuction is performed to remove excess fat before pulling down the skin.

Step 5. Belly button reconstruction may be performed in some cases to ensure it is in a natural-looking location.

Step 6. The suture line is located on the lower abdomen for easy coverage with underwear, and the scar will fade over time.
