Tummy Tuck also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. It can be done to improve the appearance of the abdomen after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging.

The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 2-4 hours. Patients usually stay in the hospital for 1-2 days after surgery.

The recovery time for tummy tuck is typically about 4-6 weeks. People can typically return to work and normal activities within 6-8 weeks after surgery.

The benefits of tummy tuck include reduced excess skin, improved muscle tone, flatter abdomen, and increased self-confidence.

As with any surgery, there are some risks associated with tummy tuck, such as bleeding, infection, numbness, asymmetry, skin irregularities, and seroma.

If you are considering tummy tuck, talk to your doctor about whether it is the right option for you.
