Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a cosmetic surgery designed to improve the contour of the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat while tightening the underlying muscles. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or post-pregnancy changes.

• Procedure: Performed under general anesthesia, the surgeon makes a horizontal incision between the pubic area and navel. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the abdominal muscles are tightened to create a firmer appearance. The incision is then carefully closed with sutures.
• Recovery: Most patients spend 1-2 days in the hospital. Typically need to wear a compression garment and limit physical activities for 6-8 weeks to support healing.
• Follow-Up: Postoperative appointments monitor recovery and ensure optimal results.

Cost estimates can vary based on the surgeon’s expertise, facility fees, and individual patient needs.
