At The Skinfinity, we understand that excess abdominal skin and weakened muscles can affect both appearance and confidence. Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening underlying muscles, creating a firmer, smoother, and more toned abdominal profile.
Why Do Abdominoplasty?
Patients seek abdominoplasty for various reasons:
- To eliminate excess, sagging skin caused by pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging.
- To tighten abdominal muscles weakened by pregnancy or weight changes.
- To improve body contour and proportion, enhancing overall aesthetics.
- To boost self-confidence when wearing fitted clothing or swimwear.
- To correct stretch marks or scars in the lower abdomen caused by prior pregnancies or surgeries.
How Abdominoplasty is Performed
The procedure is customized to each patient’s anatomy and goals:
- Consultation and Assessment — Detailed evaluation of abdominal skin, fat distribution, muscle tone, and overall body proportion.
- Anesthesia — The procedure is performed under general anesthesia for safety and comfort.
- Incision and Reshaping — A horizontal incision is made along the lower abdomen. Excess skin and fat are removed, and underlying abdominal muscles are tightened. In some cases, the belly button is repositioned for a natural look.
- Closure — Incisions are meticulously closed with sutures to minimize scarring.
- Duration — Typically lasts 2–5 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure.
Advantages of Abdominoplasty

Recovery and Aftercare
Proper post-operative care is crucial for optimal results:
- Wearing compression garments to support healing and reduce swelling.
- Activity restrictions to avoid strain on the abdominal muscles for several weeks.
- Follow-up visits for monitoring, suture removal, and guidance on scar care.
- Lifestyle and nutrition advice to maintain long-term results.
