Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Tummy Tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying abdominal muscles. It helps restore a flatter, firmer, and more toned abdominal contour, especially after pregnancy or significant weight loss.

At Medixir Clinic, tummy tuck surgeries are tailored to individual body types and cosmetic goals. Whether you struggle with loose skin, separated muscles (diastasis recti), or stubborn fat in the midsection, our expert surgeons use advanced techniques to deliver safe and aesthetically pleasing results.

During the procedure, an incision is made along the lower abdomen (usually within the bikini line), and the excess skin and fat are removed. The abdominal muscles are tightened and realigned, and the remaining skin is redraped for a smooth, natural appearance. In many cases, the belly button is repositioned for optimal aesthetics.

There are different types of tummy tucks depending on your needs: a full abdominoplasty treats the entire abdomen, while a mini tummy tuck focuses only on the area below the navel. Extended tummy tucks may also address the flanks and lower back for more comprehensive contouring.

Tummy tuck surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes 2 to 4 hours. Most patients stay overnight at the clinic for monitoring and comfort. Drainage tubes may be placed temporarily to prevent fluid buildup.

Recovery time varies, but most people return to normal activities within 2 to 3 weeks. Strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks. Compression garments help reduce swelling and support the healing process.

The results of a tummy tuck are long-lasting when combined with a healthy lifestyle. Scars are hidden below the underwear line and fade significantly over time with proper care.

Tummy tuck surgery not only improves appearance but also posture and core strength by reinforcing weakened abdominal muscles. Patients often experience increased confidence and comfort in clothing.

Ideal candidates include men and women in good health, with stable weight, and no plans for future pregnancies. This procedure is not a weight-loss solution but a body contouring surgery for those who already follow a healthy lifestyle.

At Medixir Clinic, our commitment to precision, safety, and personalized care ensures each tummy tuck delivers transformative and satisfying results tailored to your unique shape.
