Tummy tuck after weight loss

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure commonly performed after significant weight loss. It involves the removal of excess, sagging skin and the tightening of the abdominal muscles to achieve a flatter and firmer abdominal contour.

After substantial weight loss, skin excess and a loss of elasticity can occur, which cannot be corrected by exercise or dieting. The tummy tuck helps improve the aesthetic appearance while simultaneously enhancing wellbeing.

It is often combined with other procedures, such as liposuction, to further optimize the result. The procedure leads to a smoother abdomen and helps patients feel comfortable in their body again after weight reduction.
