Loose abdominal skin, stubborn fat deposits, and weakened abdominal muscles are common concerns after pregnancy, significant weight loss, aging, or major weight fluctuations. While diet and exercise can help reduce body fat, they cannot remove excess skin or repair separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti). Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a Tummy Tuck, is a cosmetic body contouring procedure that removes excess skin and fat while tightening the abdominal wall to create a flatter, firmer, and more toned appearance.
At Yatharth Hospital, our experienced plastic and reconstructive surgeons perform advanced tummy tuck procedures using modern surgical techniques and personalized treatment plans to help patients achieve natural-looking body contours with a strong focus on safety, aesthetics, and long-term satisfaction.
Abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the connective tissue (fascia) and repairing separated abdominal muscles when necessary.

Excess skin and fat are removed, and liposuction may be performed when appropriate for improved contouring.
The remaining skin is pulled downward and carefully repositioned to create a smooth abdominal contour. The belly button may also be repositioned during a full tummy tuck.
The incisions are closed with sutures, and dressings and drainage tubes may be placed temporarily.
Recovery varies depending on the extent of surgery.
