Tummy Tuck Surgery
What Is Tummy Tuck Surgery?
Tummy tuck surgery, medically known as abdominoplasty is performed to remove excess fat and skin and restore weakened or separated muscles of the abdominal area to make the abdomen look flatter, smoother and firmer.
Stubborn fat in abdominal area that is exercise and diet resistant can be removed using liposuction techniques and the skin is then tightened to give a flatter abdominal profile.

We performed abdominoplasty for our patient. All the extra skin was removed, and the edges of the skin were sutured to give her an hourglass shape. The skin was perfectly tightened on the abdomen area to remove all signs of sagging. The bikini incision was made to excise the extra skin tissue and was kept extremely low to keep it hidden inside the pelvic crease.

What is the Procedure of Tummy Tuck Surgery?
Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck involves the removal of excess fat and skin from the patient’s abdomen. Using the state-of-the-art liposuction technology at RG Aesthetics, we remove excess fat. Then the excess skin is measured, removed and sutured back so that it is tucked away. The measuring is done by pulling down the excess skin from the upper abdomen over the newly flat muscle structure.
This procedure has excellent results that are long-lasting and look very natural. Therefore, they are very desirable, especially in people who would like to see immediate differences in body type. It can also correct the divarication of recti muscles, which is one of the side effects of multiple pregnancies.

- You may have some swelling, bruising & discomfort in the first 24-48 hours. This is only temporary and diminishes as the recovery proceeds.
- You can start your daily routine work from next day after the surgery and can go for a walk etc.
