Tummy tuck after childbirth

A tummy tuck after childbirth is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and tissue in the abdominal area and tightens the abdominal muscles. After pregnancy, the strong stretching of the skin and muscles can lead to sagging skin, abdominal excess, or a rectus diastasis (separation of the straight abdominal muscles), which cannot be corrected through exercise or dieting.

The procedure restores the abdominal contour, creates a flatter, firmer silhouette, and can reconstruct the abdominal muscles if necessary. A tummy tuck helps women feel more comfortable in their bodies again and balances the changes caused by pregnancy and childbirth. It is often combined with liposuction to optimize the results.

The procedure should only be performed after family planning is complete.
