​​​​Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)​​

An abdominoplasty is commonly known as a “tummy tuck”. It is a surgical procedure that helps improve the appearance of your abdomen by removing excess fat and skin from your stomach and by tightening the connective tissues. This helps to achieve a flatter and more toned look. 

A tummy tuck is considered a major surgery, so it is important that you completely understand your options and that you have tried other less drastic measures of losing weight. You should consult a specialist who will be able to guide you during the process. 

The plastic surgeons working with the GI and Surgery Service Line​ at The Aga Khan University Hospital will provide you expert treatment and care during the process.
