What is Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)?

The body's contour, which may have stretched and sagged due to childbirth or aging, can be challenging to improve through weight loss, diet control, or exercise alone.

If the abdomen's skin has already lost its elasticity and sags, using liposuction alone is more likely to cause additional sagging or uneven results. Therefore, Abdominoplasty must be combined with liposuction.

During a tummy tuck, the surgeon removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and tightens the underlying abdominal muscles. The procedure helps create a flatter and more toned appearance in the abdominal region.

Abdominoplasty Depending on the Sagginess

01 Small area on the lower abdomen
If the only area that needs correction is below the navel, we can perform body liposuction for the love handle and the upper abdomen and remove the severely sagging skin tissue from the lower abdomen.
02 Upper abdomen & Lower Abdomen
If there is sagging on the upper and the lower abdomen both and it needs to be corrected, the skin on the upper abdomen can be pulled down to the lower abdomen direction to correct the saggy skin.
03 Wider area on the lower abdomen
If the skin sagging is severe and the sagging has extended to the lover handle as well, there needs to be body liposuction performed on the whole abdomen, love handle and also the lower back. And then there will be an incision up to love handle to correct the sagging skin.
04 Sagging breast & Abdomen
As the overall body experiences sagging, the breasts can also begin to sag. Combining breast reduction with breast lifting is an effective approach to address this sagginess.

How is Braun's Abdominoplasty Procedure Different From Other Surgical Methods?

Braun's abdominoplasty procedure eliminates sagging skin and excess abdominal fat, resulting in a more elastic and slender body contour. By reconstructing the rectus abdominis muscle, it achieves exceptional outcomes, including a firmer abdomen, decreased skin sagging, and fat reduction. Additionally, minimizing stretched skin above the belly button can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
