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
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.

While recovery varies from person to person, the general process is as follows:
First Day
- A feeling of tightness in the abdomen is normal
- The patient stays one night in the hospital
Week 1
- A gradual return to daily activities begins
- The corset should be worn regularly as advised
Weeks 2–6
- Swelling continues to decrease gradually

- Most patients return to their normal daily routine within this period
3 Months
- The abdominal area begins to take on a more natural and settled appearance
- Scars continue to fade and soften over time
6–12 Months
