There are several reasons why extra fat, loose skin, or weakened connective tissue may develop in the abdomen, including:
A tummy tuck can address these issues by removing excess skin and fat, repairing rectus diastasis (where the abdominal muscles have separated), and tightening weakened connective tissue, known as fascia. In some cases, stretch marks and extra skin in the lower abdomen below the belly button may also be removed.
For those who have had a C-section, the existing scar can often be incorporated into the new tummy tuck incision, improving the overall appearance.
A tummy tuck can also be combined with other body contouring procedures, such as breast surgery or the removal of excess skin from areas like the arms or thighs, to enhance overall body shape.
However, a tummy tuck is not suitable for everyone. Your plastic surgeon may advise against the procedure if you:
A tummy tuck, like any major surgery, carries potential risks, including:
Other general surgical risks include bleeding, pain, infection, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.
The lock and glue tummy tuck or lipoabdominoplasty is an innovative approach combining internal locking stitches, tissue glue and local anaesthetic infusion pumps without the use of drains ( tubes left within the abdominal wound to drain excess blood and body fluids) which we use for all our tummy tuck patients.
The result is greater comfort for the patients, earlier mobilisation, earlier discharge and less risk of complications. The quilting and liposuction is effective in creating a more athletic looking abdomen with greater definitions.

A tummy tuck is usually performed in a hospital or surgical center under general anesthesia, which keeps you asleep and pain-free throughout the procedure.
The exact technique your surgeon uses depends on your goals and the extent of correction needed. In a typical tummy tuck:
The length and placement of incisions vary depending on how much skin is removed and the type of tummy tuck performed.
The main incision is usually located just above the pubic area, within the swimsuit line, leaving a discreet, well-concealed scar.
You may also receive antibiotics during surgery to reduce the risk of infection. Most tummy tuck procedures take under four hours to complete.
After surgery, your incisions will be covered with dressings, and small drains may be placed to remove excess fluid.
