Abdominoplasty is a comprehensive body-contouring procedure designed to correct abdominal sagging, weakened muscles, excess skin, and localized fat deposits. These changes commonly occur after pregnancy, rapid weight fluctuations, or natural aging. While the procedure is often referred to as a “tummy tuck” in everyday language, the accurate and medically appropriate term is abdominoplasty. This surgery not only improves the aesthetic appearance of the abdomen but also restores functional strength by tightening the abdominal wall.
During pregnancy or major weight changes, the abdominal muscles can separate—a condition known as diastasis recti. Abdominoplasty surgically repairs this muscle separation, reduces excess skin, and reshapes the abdominal contour for a firmer and more proportional appearance. The goal is not simply to remove skin but to restore the structural support of the abdomen, improving both aesthetics and daily physical comfort.
Before surgery, the surgeon evaluates skin quality, muscle integrity, and fat distribution. Abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia. Excess skin and fat are removed, the abdominal muscles are tightened, and the remaining tissues are reshaped to restore a smooth, firm contour. Incisions are placed discreetly along the bikini line. Depending on the patient’s needs, mini, full, or extended techniques may be used.
Mild swelling and tightness are expected in the first few days. Most patients return to daily routines within 10–14 days, while final results become more defined within 3–6 months. With proper aftercare and stable weight, results remain long-lasting.
Yes. Muscle repair and removal of excess skin are permanent changes, provided weight remains stable.
Incisions are placed along the bikini line. Over time, scars fade significantly.
Typically 6–12 months after giving birth, once the abdominal tissues stabilize.
No. It is a contouring procedure, not a weight-loss surgery.
A mini abdominoplasty focuses on the lower abdomen, while a full abdominoplasty addresses the entire abdominal wall.
