Tummy Tuck

Tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a body contouring surgery designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles. Pregnancy, significant weight loss, aging and genetic factors can cause loose skin and muscle laxity that cannot be corrected with diet or exercise alone.

At Aesthetiqa Lara, tummy tuck surgery is performed by experienced plastic surgeons using advanced techniques to achieve a flatter, firmer and more proportionate abdominal contour with natural-looking results.

What Is Tummy Tuck Surgery?

Tummy tuck surgery reshapes the abdominal area by:

  • Removing excess skin and stubborn fat
  • Tightening weakened or separated abdominal muscles
  • Improving waistline definition
  • Creating a flatter and firmer abdomen

This procedure is not a weight loss surgery, but a contouring solution for individuals with loose skin and muscle laxity.

Types of Tummy Tuck

Full Tummy Tuck

Addresses the entire abdominal area, including muscle tightening and removal of excess skin above and below the navel.

Mini Tummy Tuck

Targets the lower abdomen below the navel with less extensive correction and a shorter recovery time.

Your surgeon will recommend the most suitable option based on your anatomy and goals.
