Tummy tuck
"Reclaim your confidence, sculpt the perfect silhouette!"
Who is a good candidate for a tummy tuck?
Good candidates for a tummy tuck are individuals who have excess abdominal skin and fat, weakened or separated abdominal muscles (commonly after pregnancy or significant weight loss), and are in overall good health. It is important to have realistic expectations and a commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle after the procedure.
Will a tummy tuck help me lose weight?
A tummy tuck is not a weight-loss procedure. While some weight may be removed with the excess skin and fat, the primary goal of a tummy tuck is to contour and tighten the abdominal area. It is important to achieve a stable weight before undergoing the procedure for optimal results.
Will a tummy tuck remove stretch marks?
A tummy tuck can remove some stretch marks located on the lower abdomen that are within the area of skin being excised. However, it cannot eliminate stretch marks on other areas of the abdomen or prevent the development of new stretch marks in the future.
Can I get pregnant after a tummy tuck?
It is generally recommended to complete your family planning before undergoing a tummy tuck. While a tummy tuck does not affect the ability to conceive or carry a pregnancy, the results of the procedure may be compromised if pregnancy occurs afterward.
Mini tummy tuck

What is a mini tummy tuck?
A mini tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that focuses on the lower abdomen below the belly button. It is a less extensive version of a full tummy tuck and is ideal for patients with minimal excess skin or muscle laxity in the lower abdomen.
How is a mini tummy tuck different from a full tummy tuck?
The main difference between a mini tummy tuck and a full tummy tuck is the extent of the procedure. A mini tummy tuck focuses on the lower abdomen, while a full tummy tuck addresses both the upper and lower abdomen, including muscle repair and repositioning of the belly button.
What is the recovery process like after a mini tummy tuck?
The recovery period after a mini tummy tuck is generally shorter compared to a full tummy tuck. Patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Most individuals can resume light activities within a week or two.
Will there be visible scarring after a mini tummy tuck?
Incisions for a mini tummy tuck are typically smaller and placed low on the abdomen, making them less noticeable. Over time, the scars tend to fade and become less prominent. Proper scar care can help optimize healing.
