Abdominoplasty abroad

A tummy tuck is a cosmetic procedure that removes loose skin and fat from the abdominal area. It is especially common after pregnancy, weight loss, or simply with age,  when the skin loses its firmness and the belly no longer feels like “you.”

There are two main types of tummy tucks: standard and extended. Both remove loose skin and fat and sometimes tighten the abdominal muscles too. The main difference is the length of the incision and the amount of tissue removed. While a standard tummy tuck improves the front of the abdomen, an extended one also addresses the sides for enhanced contouring.

The procedure is done under general anaesthesia and takes around 2-4 hours. The incision is usually placed along the bikini line, so it stays hidden under underwear or swimwear. During surgery, your surgeon removes excess tissue, repositions the belly button for a natural look, and strengthens the muscle wall if necessary.

Recovery takes a few weeks. You will need to wear a compression garment and follow your surgeon’s instructions closely. Most clients return to everyday activities within 2-3 weeks, with full results visible after 3-6 months. The outcome is a smoother, tighter, and more balanced body shape - and with a healthy lifestyle, results can last for many years.

A tummy tuck does not replace a healthy lifestyle, but for many people, it becomes the turning point. A way to reconnect with your body, feel more confident, and enjoy the results for years to come - especially with the right surgeon and support team beside you.
