Tummy Tuck

Tummy tucks are an ideal surgery to tighten the abdominal skin, firm and flatten the torso, and slim the waist. Also known as abdominoplasty, tummy tucks are one of the most widely known plastic surgeries today, and for good reason – the stomach is arguably the area of the body that gives people the most insecurities. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, tummy tucks are among the top five plastic surgery procedures performed annually in the United States. The procedure's incredible popularity extends worldwide.

Tummy tucks can be done alone but are often combined with other cosmetic procedures that change the shape of the body holistically. Contact Dr Beauty Aesthetic Clinic to schedule a consultation and receive a personalized body-transforming treatment plan.

How Does a Tummy Tuck Work?

Pregnancy, weight loss and age-related loss of elasticity in the tummy area can all lead to a body that leaves us feeling self-conscious and embarrassed. A plastic surgeon can use the tummy tuck technique to remove unwanted fat and skin in the abdomen and restore weak and separated muscles, creating a smoother and firmer stomach.

Tummy tucks are performed by a plastic surgeon who makes a horizontal incision in the area between the pubic bone and belly button. From there, the abdominal skin is lifted so that the underlying muscles can be repaired and tightened. At this point, unwanted skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is smoothed back into place.

Excess skin in the upper abdomen may be removed through a second incision around the belly button. If this is necessary to achieve the best result, the belly button is moved into a more aesthetically pleasing position and sutured into place.
