Tummy Tuck
Surgical tightening of loose abdominal skin and, when needed, the muscle wall after pregnancy or large weight change.
Overview
A tummy tuck is planned for skin and fascia that no longer spring back after pregnancy or major weight loss. It is not a shortcut for fat that diet and time can still change, and it is not booked from a photo alone. The surgeon examines skin quality, navel position, hernia risk, and whether another pregnancy is still likely. A full, mini, or combined plan with liposuction is chosen only after that review. Meridia arranges the stay and the first dressing checks; the operating team sets how long you must remain in the city before a long flight.
Who it may be suitable for
- Adults at a stable weight with loose abdominal skin that exercise has not corrected
- Patients who can wear a binder and limit lifting for the recovery window the surgeon requires
Techniques
- Full or mini abdominoplasty
- Muscle plication where indicated
- Liposuction only if the surgeon adds it

Is this treatment right for me?
This is not a medical diagnosis. Final suitability requires professional evaluation.

Questions
Most teams prefer to wait until you have finished having children. A later pregnancy can stretch the repair. Say so during the first review.
No. Liposuction reduces fat. A tummy tuck removes loose skin and can repair the muscle wall. They are sometimes combined, never treated as the same operation.
