Abdominoplasty / Tummy Tuck Sydney

With Dr. Mark Kohout

What is an Abdominoplasty / Tummy Tuck?

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to alter the appearance of the abdomen. It involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the abdominal area, along with the tightening of the underlying muscles. This procedure is often sought by individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy, or ageing, which can lead to excess, loose skin. An abdominoplasty not only addresses the abdominal contour but can also help increase firmness and alter appearance.
