Abdominal Stretch

Does Tummy Tuck hurt? Is it a surgical procedure?

Abdominal Stretch

Nowadays Tummy Tuck or abdominal wall surgery is one of the most popular plastic surgery methods. Your belly appearance becomes worse due to many factors, for examples: obesity, pregnancy and genetic factors contributing to tired skin, excessive fat accumulation, abdominal stretch marks, making your skin sagging. 

Tummy Tuck helps removing abdominal tired skin and excessive fat as well as belly stretch marks. It also reshapes flabby abdominal muscle fascia and recovers the pre-birth firm look. Tummy Tuck can be an exclusive procedure but it is often done with liposuction to make a slimmer and toned waist.

Tummy Tuck is indicated to bellies with excess fat and skin, stretch marks or tired abdominal walls.

 Skin tightening incision

Collecting belly skin

After tensioning the abdominal skin, the surgeon makes an incision just above the pubic region. The incision length depends on the amount of belly excess skin.
Dissection of skin and fat layer


The surgeon uses an electrocautery blade to dissect the skin and fat layer from the abdominal wall.

  Cut off the excess skin

Excess skin is removed; drainage tubes are inserted to reduce post-surgical swelling and insoluble thread is used for abdominal skin suture.

Postoperative care


You will wear a special bandage for 2 to 4 weeks. This helps reduce swelling and speeds healing. The sutures will be removed after 7 - 10 days. The Tummy Tuck scar will be hidden in your pants and fade over time.
