Tummy Tuck

Tummy Tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening weakened abdominal muscles to create a flatter, firmer, and more contoured midsection.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a transformative body contouring procedure that targets loose skin, stubborn fat, and weakened abdominal muscles, often resulting from pregnancy, significant weight loss, or aging. This surgery is not just about aesthetics—it can also restore core strength and posture by repairing separated or weakened muscles (diastasis recti). At our clinic, experienced plastic surgeons tailor the tummy tuck procedure to each patient’s anatomy and goals, offering full, mini, or extended versions depending on the extent of correction needed. The result is a smoother, firmer abdominal profile that enhances both appearance and confidence.

The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 2–4 hours. Most patients can return home the same day or after an overnight stay. Recovery involves several weeks of reduced activity, with most returning to normal routines within 2–4 weeks. Compression garments are used to minimize swelling and support healing. While a tummy tuck is not a weight-loss method, it delivers long-lasting results when combined with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Scars are placed strategically below the bikini line and fade significantly over time.

Purpose

Tightens loose skin and muscles on abdomen.

Procedure

Removes skin and repairs abdominal muscles.

Areas Treated

Lower and upper abdomen.

Anesthesia

Performed under general anesthesia.

Recovery

Swelling and soreness for weeks.

Results

Flatter, firmer abdominal area.

What is Rhinoplasty ?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose for aesthetic enhancement or functional improvement. It can address concerns like:

  • A dorsal hump

  • Drooping or bulbous nasal tip

  • Crooked bridge

  • Overall facial imbalance

In many cases, rhinoplasty is also performed to improve nasal breathing, particularly when combined with correction of a deviated septum.

At our clinic, board-certified surgeons take a personalized, detail-oriented approach, analyzing each patient’s facial structure to deliver natural-looking and harmonious results.

Rhinoplasty Process

1. Consultation

  • Detailed facial and nasal analysis

  • Discussion of aesthetic goals and functional concerns

  • Customized surgical plan tailored to your features

2. Surgical Procedure

  • General anesthesia is typically used

  • Hidden incisions (inside the nostrils) minimize visible scarring

  • The nose is reshaped (tip refined, hump reduced, bridge straightened, etc.)

  • If needed, internal corrections like a septoplasty are performed to enhance breathing

3. Recovery

  • Surgery duration: 2–3 hours

  • Outpatient procedure: most patients go home the same day

  • Swelling and bruising peak in the first week and subside within 1–2 weeks

  • External splint worn for about a week

  • Return to light activities and office work: typically within 7–10 days

  • Final results: refined nasal shape settles within 12 months

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about tummy tuck? We’ve answered the most common concerns to help you feel confident and informed before your procedure.

What age is best for a tummy tuck?

While there is no strict age limit, ideal candidates are adults with stable body weight, good skin elasticity, and localized fat deposits. Most patients are between 25 and 55 years old.

Yes, liposuction can dramatically enhance body contours by removing targeted fat. However, results are natural-looking and depend on factors like skin tone and overall body structure.

The fat cells removed during liposuction are permanently eliminated. Maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise helps sustain results long term.

Mild to moderate discomfort may occur, especially in the first few days. Pain is usually well managed with prescribed medications. Soreness and tightness are expected but subside over time.

Initial recovery is about 1 week, but swelling may persist for several weeks. Most people resume normal activities within a few days and exercise after 3–4 weeks.

Will I have visible scars after my tummy tuck?

Scars are minimal and strategically placed in discreet areas. Over time, they fade and are often barely visible.

Yes. Liposuction is often performed alongside tummy tucks, breast surgery, or fat transfer procedures like BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) for comprehensive results.

Ideal candidates are near their ideal weight, have stubborn fat areas, good skin elasticity, and realistic expectations. Liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss.

Stop smoking and avoid certain medications like blood thinners before surgery. Maintain hydration and follow your surgeon’s pre-op instructions carefully.

Liposuction removes fat but does not significantly tighten loose skin. Patients with poor skin elasticity may be advised to combine it with skin-tightening procedures or consider alternatives like tummy tuck.
