Abdominoplasty in Tunisia: Reconstructive surgery of the stomach
Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, is a cosmetic and reconstructive surgery that aims to correct sagging skin and muscles in the abdomen. It allows you to regain a flat, firm, and aesthetically pleasing stomach, particularly after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or skin aging.
✅ Objectives of abdominoplasty
- Eliminate excess skin and belly fat
- Tighten abdominal skin
- Firming abdominal muscles (in case of diastasis)
- Restore a harmonious and toned silhouette
🎯 Who is this intervention for?
It is indicated for people with:
- Excess skin around the stomach (post-pregnancy, weight loss, etc.)
- Stretch marks below the umbilical cord
- Muscle relaxation (diastasis recti)
- Abdominal scars or deformity
🩺 Procedure
