Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck is a surgical body contouring procedure which tightens and reshapes the abdominal area, helping to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing, slimmer overall appearance. Having a flatter, firmer midsection can dramatically improve the way clothing fits and looks, helping you feel more confident and comfortable in your body.
During the surgery, the abdominal muscles are tightened and excess, sagging skin is eliminated, correcting a protruding belly and leaving the midsection flatter and better toned. Tummy tucks are a popular procedure for men and women, particularly those whose bodies have undergone dramatic changes from weight loss or pregnancy.

What is a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck, medically known as an abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat and skin from the stomach area. It is often performed on people who have lost a lot of weight and are left with excess skin and tissue. The surgery can also be used to tighten the muscles in the stomach area.
The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia, meaning you will fall asleep during the surgery. The surgeon will make a horizontal incision across the stomach area, just above the pubic bone. The skin will be cut open, and the excess fat and skin will be removed. The surgeon will then tighten the muscles in the stomach area and sew up the incision.
Recovery time from a tummy tuck surgery vat typically takes around two weeks. You will likely experience some pain and swelling in the days following surgery. You will also need to take it easy for a few weeks and avoid strenuous activity.
A tummy tuck can be a great way to achieve a flatter stomach and improved body contour. If you are considering this surgery, please consult with our Daso Plastic Surgery qualified surgeons to discuss your options and determine if this procedure is correct.

Overall, there are several benefits to getting a tummy tuck.
What is the surgery like?
The surgery is a relatively short procedure, typically lasting around 3 hours. The patient is placed under general anesthesia, and a incision is made in the abdomen. The surgeon then remove the excess of skin and fat, then tighten the muscles in the stomach area and sew up the incision.
How long will the results of a tummy tuck last?
The results of a tummy tuck are usually permanent, but there are a few things you can do to help maintain your results.
First, keep your weight within a healthy range. If you gain weight after your surgery, it may cause the skin around your stomach to stretch out and the results of your surgery to fade. Second, exercise regularly. A strong abdominal wall will help keep your tummy looking toned and flat. Finally, avoid smoking. Cigarette smoke can damage the skin and make it less elastic, leading to sagging skin after surgery.
If you follow these tips, you can expect to enjoy the results of your tummy tuck for many years.
The surgery is relatively straightforward and typically takes two to three hours to complete. Recovery times vary depending on the individual but are generally short – most people take approximately two weeks to feel they can return to their normal activities. Risks and side effects associated with a tummy tuck are minimal compared to other surgical procedures; however, as with any surgery, there are potential risks that should be discussed with your surgeon before the surgery.
