Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Achieve a firmer and flatter abdominal appearance. We provide clear, smooth, and aesthetic results.

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Abdominoplasty is a surgical body contouring procedure that corrects sagging, looseness, and deformities in the abdominal area, resulting in a firmer, flatter, and more aesthetic appearance. Performed by Estecapelli's expert team, it is one of the most effective procedures for reshaping the abdomen in both women and men.
Over time, the abdominal area can loosen due to weight changes, aging, pregnancy, genetic factors, or reduced skin elasticity. Tummy tuck surgery addresses these concerns directly, restoring a younger, fitter, and more balanced appearance to the midsection.

Who Is Suitable for Abdominoplasty?

Adult women and men who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their abdominal area and experience one or more of the following conditions may be suitable candidates for this surgery:

  • Sagging following significant weight gain or loss
  • Loose or excess skin after pregnancy
  • Separation of the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
  • Genetically loose or weak abdominal structure
  • Excess skin remaining after liposuction
  • Abdominal concerns that cannot be resolved through exercise alone

Types of Abdominoplasty

Full Abdominoplasty
01

Full Abdominoplasty

Full abdominoplasty is preferred for individuals with advanced sagging and muscle separation throughout the abdominal area. The procedure addresses the abdomen comprehensively through the following steps:

  • The entire abdominal area is tightened
  • The navel is repositioned for a natural appearance
  • Excess skin is removed
  • The underlying muscles are tightened and repaired

Mini Tummy Tuck

Mini Tummy Tuck

A mini tummy tuck is suitable for individuals with mild sagging limited to the area below the navel. Compared to a full abdominoplasty, it is a less invasive option with several notable benefits:

  • Smaller incision
  • Faster recovery time
  • No repositioning of the navel

Liposuction + Abdominoplasty Combination

Liposuction + Abdominoplasty Combination

It is the ideal method when there is both excess fat and skin sagging in the abdominal area.
Liposuction is performed with Estecapelli’s modern devices, followed by removal of excess skin.

Mommy Makeover

Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover combines multiple procedures into a single surgery for women looking to restore their body after childbirth. It typically includes abdominoplasty, breast lift or augmentation, and liposuction, allowing patients to achieve a full transformation with just one recovery period.

How Is Abdominoplasty Performed?

Abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia in a sterile operating room environment. The procedure typically lasts 1.5–4 hours.

Steps:

  • Marking of sagging skin and tissues
  • Tightening of the abdominal muscles
  • Removal of excess skin
  • Aesthetic reshaping of the belly button
  • Closure of incision areas with aesthetic sutures

The incision scar is concealed along the bikini line and gradually fades over time.
