TUMMY TUCK

Your journey of self discovery begins here.

Tummy Tuck

Pregnancy, significant weight loss, ageing and changes in body weight can leave the abdomen with loose skin, stubborn fat and weakened or separated muscles. Even with regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle, these concerns may not always improve on their own.

A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a body-contouring procedure designed to remove excess abdominal skin and fat, tighten weakened muscles where appropriate, and create a smoother, firmer abdominal profile.

Depending on your needs, treatment may involve

Removing loose or hanging abdominal skin
Reducing selected areas of excess abdominal fat
Repairing or tightening weakened abdominal muscles
Improving the appearance of a lower abdominal overhang
Repositioning the remaining skin for a smoother contour
Creating a firmer and more proportionate abdominal profile

A tummy tuck is particularly helpful when loose skin has lost its elasticity and cannot be corrected through exercise or weight loss alone.

However, it is important to understand that a tummy tuck is not a weight-loss operation. It is a body-contouring procedure intended for people who are reasonably close to a healthy, stable weight but have excess skin, weakened muscles or localised fat around the abdomen.
