Tummy Tuck

Overview

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess abdominal skin and tightens the muscle wall — often after pregnancy or major weight loss.

Methods & types

• Full or mini abdominoplasty
• Muscle repair (plication)
• Often combined with liposuction

Who it’s for

• Loose abdominal skin
• Separated abdominal muscles (diastasis)
• Stable weight, post-pregnancy or weight loss

Recovery

• Limited activity for a few weeks
• Compression garment
• Scar matures over 6–12 months

Approximate cost

USD 6,000–12,000

Ranges are rough estimates and vary widely by clinic, technique and individual case. Always confirm the exact price at consultation.

Considerations

• Leaves a low, usually concealable scar
• Best after completing pregnancies
