Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Transforming saggy and loose belly fat into a slender and tight waistline

What is Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)?

Abdominoplasty (Tummy tuck) for creating a shaped and flattened tummy

Whenever you experience a build-up of excessive fat around your abdomen, the volume of fat can be reduced by liposuction; however, this does not get rid of saggy skin. If you have sagged and flabby belly fat or if you happen to have excessive stretch marks or scarring from having baby birth, it can guarantee your perfect stomach contour.

Types of JW’s Abdominoplasty and Operation Procedures

#1 | Total Abdominoplasty (liposuction and tummy tuck)

Abdominal obesity is high and belly fat is excessively sagging

Total abdominoplasty is an ideal surgery to those who want to reduce overall fat and skin around their abdomen. Liposuction is performed from above the navel and down to the pubic region.

After liposuction, excessive saggy skin is eliminated. While leaving nerves and blood vessels largely undisturbed, the excess skin is effectively removed.

#2 | Endoscopic Mini Abdominoplasty

Lower abdomen is sagging

A single incision is made in the area under the navel, and then Endoscopic Mini Abdominoplasty is performed to remove excess skin. The ideal candidate for this tummy tuck has laxity and protrusion below the navel.

Conventional Mini Abdominoplasty cannot tighten slack abdominal muscles following pregnancy; however, JW’s Endoscopic Mini Abdominoplasty can ensure the sculpting of a beautiful tummy line by tightening the abdominal muscles (An effect similar to wearing a corset around one’s belly).

#3 | Pick-up Abdominoplasty

Upper belly is sagging

For those who only experience upper abdominal bulging, Pick-up Abdominoplasty, which lifts belly skin through making incisions under the breast, is performed.

Any faint scarring caused by the operation is naturally covered by the under-breast wrinkles, leaving it nearly invisible.

Important

You are required to pay special attention to yourself in order to care for any complications, including bleeding, inflammation and infection, following the operation.
