Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) – Achieve a Flat, Toned Abdomen
Loose, hanging abdominal skin after pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or bariatric surgery can affect your confidence and posture. Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat, tighten weakened muscles, and restore a firm, aesthetically pleasing abdominal contour. Perfect for both women and men seeking a smoother, toned midsection.
Why Consider a Tummy Tuck?
- Loose skin and stretch marks, especially in the lower abdomen
- Excess fat accumulation leading to an uneven belly
- Weak abdominal muscles (divarication of recti)
- Post-pregnancy or post-weight loss body contour restoration
- Improved self-confidence and body proportion
Types of Abdominoplasty

Targets the lower abdomen for removal of excess skin and fat. Muscle tightening may be done if necessary. Small incision with minimal scarring.
