If you’re struggling with excess skin or weakened abdominal muscles after weight loss or pregnancy, Abdominoplasty, also known as a Tummy Tuck, can help restore a firmer, more toned midsection. At Minus, our experts offer this popular surgical procedure to help you achieve a slimmer, more contoured appearance.
Abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the muscles of the abdominal wall. It’s particularly effective for individuals who have loose or sagging skin around their stomach that cannot be addressed through exercise or diet alone.
Benefits of Abdominoplasty
- Enhanced Appearance: Smoother, firmer abdomen with a slimmer silhouette.
- Improved Posture: Tightened muscles can improve posture and alleviate back pain.
- Boost in Confidence: A flatter midsection often leads to improved self-esteem and body confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a good candidate for abdominoplasty?
Good candidates are healthy individuals with excess abdominal skin or fat, especially after pregnancy or weight loss. It’s ideal for those who are close to their goal weight and non-smokers.
What are the different types of tummy tuck procedures?
Types include full abdominoplasty (removes a large amount of skin), mini tummy tuck (targets lower abdomen), and extended tummy tuck (removes more skin, especially after significant weight loss).
How long does the abdominoplasty surgery take?
The surgery typically takes 2 to 5 hours, depending on the complexity and type of tummy tuck. It’s performed under general anesthesia in an outpatient setting or hospital.
What is the recovery time after abdominoplasty?
Recovery usually takes 4 to 6 weeks. Most patients return to light activities after 2–3 weeks, but full recovery can take up to 6 months, depending on the individual’s healing process.
How long do the results of a tummy tuck last?
The results of abdominoplasty can last many years if you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. However, aging, weight fluctuations, or future pregnancies may affect the appearance of your abdomen.
