Tummy Tuck
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Remove excess abdominal skin and fat and repair separated abdominal muscles for a flatter, firmer stomach — ideal after pregnancy or significant weight loss.
What is a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess abdominal skin and fat and repairs separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) to restore a flat, firm, well-defined stomach.
Loose skin and muscle separation often follow pregnancy or major weight loss and rarely respond to exercise alone. The YOUNIFY team assesses your skin excess and muscle condition to choose the right technique, and can combine it with liposuction for finer contouring.
Concerns it addresses
Loose / layered abdominal skin
Stretched, hanging skin after pregnancy or significant weight loss.
Separated muscles (diastasis recti)
The abdominal wall has separated, so the belly protrudes even when slim.
Stretch marks below the navel
Stretch marks and excess skin below the navel that exercise won't resolve.
Lower belly bulge despite exercise
The lower belly stays out because of skin and muscle wall — not just fat.

Mini vs Full Tummy Tuck
The two techniques suit different degrees of concern — your surgeon will help you decide.
How we plan your result
A tummy tuck isn't only removing fat — it addresses excess skin and the separated muscle wall (a rectus repair). Planning looks at both skin laxity and whether a muscle repair is needed, with the scar hidden low.
Your planning options
Who is it for
Those with loose abdominal skin after pregnancy or weight loss
Those with separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
Those whose stomach stays loose despite exercise
Those in good health at a stable weight with no contraindications
Your approach options
Mini tummy tuck
ProsShorter scar and faster recovery for mild laxity below the navel.
NoteAddresses only the lower area; no navel repositioning or full muscle repair.
Full tummy tuck
ProsTightens the whole abdomen, repairs the muscle wall, and repositions the navel.
NoteLonger scar and recovery; requires general anesthesia and a hospital stay.

Frequently asked questions
How is a tummy tuck different from liposuction?
Liposuction removes fat but does not address loose skin or separated muscle. A tummy tuck corrects both skin and muscle — and is often combined with liposuction for a complete result.
Will the scar be long and visible?
The main scar runs low across the lower abdomen where it can hide under underwear, and fades gradually once healed.
Should I finish having children first?
It's best done once you don't plan further pregnancies, as another pregnancy can stretch the skin and muscle again.
How long is recovery?
Most return to light work in about 2 weeks and avoid strenuous exercise for around 4–6 weeks, as advised by your surgeon.
