• Purpose: Remove excess skin and fat, and tighten abdominal muscles

Before and Aftercare Instructions:

Tummy Tuck Procedure – Step by Step:

Initial Consultation with a Surgeon:

A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon in Islamabad comes first. At this visit, to study the medical history and physical condition along with aesthetic expectations, the surgeon will design the most appropriate approach.

The Surgical Procedure:

Then the surgeon will take out extra epidermis and also fasten up the muscle beneath. The incisions are stitched carefully and covered with dressing.

Postoperative Care:

Recovery from post operation is unique to each patient but includes: 

• Mild pain and swelling occur normally. However, it can be managed through medications prescribed.
• Patients may have drain tubes inserted temporarily.
