Understanding Abdominoplasty / Tummy Tuck

Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) restores a firmer, flatter abdomen by removing excess skin and fat and tightening weakened core muscles.

Causes

A loose, protruding abdomen commonly results from pregnancy, significant weight loss, ageing, or genetics — all of which can stretch the skin and separate the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti). Once stretched, skin and muscle often cannot return to their original tone on their own.

Symptoms

Common concerns include sagging or overhanging skin, a persistent lower-belly bulge that exercise cannot flatten, stretch marks, and a weakened core. Some patients also experience skin irritation in the folds or discomfort from the laxity.

Diagnosis

During assessment, Dr. Sunil Rathor examines skin laxity, muscle separation, and fat distribution, and reviews your weight stability and any future pregnancy plans. This helps decide between a full or mini abdominoplasty and ensures the procedure is timed and tailored for the safest, most lasting outcome.
