Tummy Tuck

Abdominoplasty to remove excess skin, tighten abdominal muscles, and restore a flat, firm abdominal contour.

Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) addresses two elements that cannot be corrected by exercise or liposuction alone: excess skin (from weight loss or pregnancy) and separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti). The surgery removes excess skin and fat below the navel, repairs the muscle wall, and repositions the navel to a natural position. It is frequently combined with liposuction for comprehensive abdominal contouring.

Benefits
Removes excess skin
Skin laxity after significant weight loss or multiple pregnancies cannot be corrected non-surgically. Abdominoplasty removes it definitively.
Repairs muscle separation
Diastasis recti (separation of the rectus muscles) causes a persistent bulge that no exercise programme can correct — direct repair restores a flat profile.
Comprehensive contouring
Combined with liposuction of the flanks, abdominoplasty achieves a circumferential improvement not possible with either alone.
Family-complete candidates
Ideal for women who have completed childbearing — future pregnancies could stretch the repaired muscles and skin.
How it works

A horizontal incision is made from hip to hip, just above the pubic area. Skin and fat are elevated from the abdominal wall. The rectus muscles are sutured together at the midline (repairing diastasis). Excess skin is removed, the remaining skin is redraped, and a new opening is created for the navel. Drains are placed for 1–2 weeks to prevent fluid accumulation.

The post-op care was just as impressive as the procedure itself. I felt supported at every step and the team was always reachable.

I looked in the mirror two weeks post-op and genuinely teared up. The results were beyond what I imagined and recovery was much smoother than I feared.
