Tummy Tuck – Solution to “revive” postpartum waistline and lose weight

When the body loses its curves: The journey to regaining shape

After giving birth, the waistline is no longer the same. After losing weight, the body is lighter but the abdominal skin becomes loose, wrinkled, and loses elasticity. This is the concern of many people, especially women - when they stand between the boundary of "tried my best" and "there is no other way".

Tummy tuck – also known as abdominoplasty – is not a fad, but a well-founded medical solution, specifically designed to help people with loose skin, excess fat and weak abdominal muscles after a physical event such as childbirth or excessive weight loss.

• Full tummy tuck: Apply to the upper abdomen and below the navel. Recovery abdominal muscles, removing excess skin, comprehensive may include moving the navel.
• Extended tummy tuck: Combined removal of excess skin and fat on both sides waist – fit people who lost a lot of weight or have skin dilated.
