PACE Hospitals

Listen to

Abdominoplasty, often known as tummy tuck, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the abdomen. It entails removing excess skin and fat, tightening the underlying muscles, and contouring the abdomen to achieve a smoother, tighter shape. Individuals who have undergone major weight loss, pregnancy, or ageing and have loose or sagging skin frequently seek this treatment. Abdominoplasty is classified into two types based on the degree of the surgery: full and small tummy tucks. Recovery times vary, and postoperative care is critical for best results. 


Join the PACE Hospitals Podcast with Dr. Kantamneni Lakshmi - Senior Consultant Plastic, Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgeon at PACE Hospitals, Hyderabad, India to explore the abdominoplasty procedure, its types, indications, potential complications, and the results one can expect from the procedure.
