Expert Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Understanding Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening the underlying muscles. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy, or have excess abdominal skin that does not respond to diet and exercise. At Akruti Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Centre, we use advanced techniques to help you achieve a flatter and more contoured abdomen.


Why Choose Abdominoplasty?

Abdominoplasty offers several benefits, including:

  • Flatter Abdomen: Remove excess skin and fat to achieve a smoother, flatter abdominal profile.
  • Improved Muscle Tone: Tighten and strengthen abdominal muscles that may have been stretched or weakened.
  • Enhanced Body Proportion: Create a more balanced and proportionate physique.
  • Boosted Confidence: Feel more confident and comfortable in your clothing and body.

4. Circumferential Abdominoplasty:
