Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a Tummy Tuck, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess fat and loose skin from the abdominal area and tightens the underlying muscles to create a flatter, firmer, and more contoured midsection.
This procedure is especially beneficial for individuals who have:
Lost significant weight,
Experienced pregnancy-related abdominal stretching, or
Have sagging skin due to ageing.
Abdominoplasty not only enhances physical appearance but also improves core strength, posture, and self-confidence.
India has become a leading destination for tummy tuck surgery, offering world-class plastic surgeons, state-of-the-art hospitals, and affordable treatment costs, making it one of the most sought-after countries for cosmetic surgery tourism.
Through VivaVel Health, international patients can access accredited hospitals and board-certified cosmetic surgeons specializing in abdominoplasty, with complete medical tourism assistance - from virtual consultations and visa support to travel, accommodation, and post-surgery care.

Signs & Symptoms

 You may consider abdominoplasty if you experience:

Excess or sagging abdominal skin hanging over the waistline.

Loose muscles around the belly area.

Persistent lower belly bulge despite regular exercise.

Stretch marks below the navel.

Weak core or poor posture can result from weak or underdeveloped muscles.

Low confidence in appearance after childbirth or weight loss.
