Tummy tuck procedures generally involve the removal of excess fat, or the correction of muscle or skin laxity resulting, for example, from significant weight loss or the aesthetic after-effects of pregnancy.

Belly liposuction
Liposuction, or liposuction of the abdomen, slims and reshapes belly areas by removing excess fat and improving contours. Liposuction can be performed alone or in combination with abdominoplasty.

Abdominoplasty
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, removes excess fat and skin and restores weakened muscles to create a smoother, firmer abdominal profile.
The benefits of tummy tuck surgery
- Removing excess fat: Liposuction precisely targets fat deposits to refine the abdominal area
- Correction of sagging skin: Abdominoplasty removes excess skin after weight loss or pregnancy.
- Restores abdominal muscles: Strengthens and tightens the muscle wall for a firmer, more toned abdomen
- Improved abdominal contours: Redefines the silhouette for a harmonious, balanced abdominal profile
- Lasting results: An effective solution for stable body changes with proper maintenance
- Reduce post-pregnancy after-effects: Treat sagging and stretch marks to restore a more youthful abdomen
- Combinable procedures: Liposuction and abdominoplasty can be combined for optimized results
