Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Achieve a firmer, flatter, and more toned abdominal contour with a transformative surgical procedure designed to restore confidence and silhouette.
What is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the underlying muscles. This comprehensive treatment is especially effective for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging, and are left with loose skin and stretched abdominal muscles that do not respond to diet and exercise.
At KD Aesthetic Center, our board-certified surgeons tailor each tummy tuck to your unique body, ensuring natural-looking, long-lasting results that enhance your overall figure.
Benefits of a Tummy Tuck
- Flattens and tones the abdomen by removing loose, sagging skin.
- Tightens the abdominal muscles, improving core strength and stability.
- Enhances posture and may help reduce lower back discomfort caused by weakened core muscles.
- Creates a more defined waistline, improving overall body proportions.
- Boosts self-confidence with a smoother, rejuvenated abdominal contour.
Types of a Tummy Tuck
- Full Tummy Tuck
Removes excess skin and fat from the upper and lower abdomen while tightening the entire abdominal wall. Ideal for individuals with significant skin laxity or muscle separation.
- Mini Tummy Tuck
Targets loose skin and mild muscle laxity below the belly button. This option involves a smaller incision, shorter procedure time, and quicker recovery.
