Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, is performed to restore abdominal contour by removing excess skin and tightening weakened abdominal muscles.

Changes caused by pregnancy, significant weight loss or ageing may lead to loose abdominal skin and separation of the abdominal muscles. In such cases, tummy tuck surgery can help restore a firmer and more balanced abdominal profile.

At Nova, tummy tuck procedures are coordinated in accredited hospital environments and planned individually according to skin elasticity, abdominal structure and overall body proportions.

What Does Tummy Tuck Address?

• Excess abdominal skin following weight loss or pregnancy
• Separation of abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
• Loss of abdominal firmness and contour
• Skin folds in the lower abdomen
• Difficulty achieving abdominal tightening through exercise alone

Surgical Approach

Tummy tuck surgery focuses on restoring abdominal structure and contour through a combination of tissue tightening and skin removal. The procedure may involve:

• Removal of excess abdominal skin
• Tightening of weakened abdominal muscles
• Reshaping of the abdominal contour
• Repositioning of the navel when required

In some cases, tummy tuck may be combined with liposuction to improve contour definition. All procedures are performed in accredited hospital operating theatres under specialist supervision.

Recovery & Monitoring

• Initial swelling and healing phase
• Use of supportive compression garments
• Structured follow-up coordination
• Gradual return to normal physical activities
• Monitoring of abdominal contour stabilisation

Expected Outcomes

Focus on:

• Firmer abdominal contour
• Improved body proportion
• Reduction of loose abdominal skin
• Enhanced waistline definition
