Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery designed to improve the appearance of the abdomen. During the procedure, excess skin and fat are removed, and the abdominal muscles are tightened. It’s often sought by people who have loose or sagging skin due to weight loss, pregnancy, or aging.

There are a few variations of tummy tucks:
Full Tummy Tuck: This involves a larger incision across the lower abdomen, from hip to hip, and often includes tightening of the abdominal muscles and removal of excess skin. It usually results in a scar that can be hidden by underwear or a swimsuit.
Mini Tummy Tuck: This procedure involves a smaller incision and is typically recommended for those with less excess skin or fat, usually below the belly button. It doesn’t involve as much muscle tightening as the full tummy tuck.
Extended Tummy Tuck: This is a more extensive procedure that addresses not only the abdomen but also the flanks or sides. It’s often chosen by those who have undergone significant weight loss.
Circumferential Tummy Tuck: Also known as a body lift, this is a more extensive procedure that goes around the entire lower body to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, back, and sides.
Recovery typically involves some downtime, with patients needing to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support the healing process. Full recovery can take several weeks, and it’s important to follow the surgeon’s post-operative care instructions for the best results.
