· Those around Kuala Lumpur for at least 10 days.

Are you bothered by large fat deposit and excess skin at the abdomen? You have tried various kinds of diet and exercise but it nothing seems to be working?

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure which removes excess fat and skin. Simultaneously, a tummy tuck can also help restore weakened muscles, creating a smoother and firmer abdominal profile.

Tummy tuck is the ultimate choice for those who are not able to achieve a well-toned abdomen through exercise and weight control. The most common causes of this include:
· Pregnancy
· Aging
· Significant fluctuations in weight
· Heredity
· Prior surgery

However, tummy tucks are not a substitute for weight loss or an appropriate exercise program. The procedure cannot be performed to correct stretch marks unless they are located on the areas of excess skin that will be excised, which the areas are below the belly button.

The overall procedure requires a recovery period of at least 2 weeks. After the treatment, a good weight control diet and regular exercise is necessary to maintain the effect.

In Mini tummy tuck, the loose skin is only removed from the area below the belly button (smaller area of fat removal compared to Normal Tummy Tuck).

In other words, Mini tummy tuck only removes fat from the lower part of your abdomen. In addition, underlying muscles are tightened.

Normal tummy tuck or sometimes known as traditional abdominoplasty requires a vertical and a horizontal incisions. Vertical incision is done to gather skin excess in the horizontal direction and to allow adequate shaping where there is a lot of extra tissue around your midsection.

This is especially for those who have had a massive weight loss and have redundant skin throughout their trunks.

If you have gone through weight fluctuations and experienced significant weight loss due to bariatric surgery or other similar reasons and wish to see dramatic improvements in shaping and contouring your body, then extended tummy tuck is what's best for you.

Extended tummy tuck not only remove excess skin and tissue from your abdomen, but also consider those from your hips, thighs and back, simultaneously toning repairing and contouring your body to perfection.

<Add on Teardrop Implant Breast Augmentation>
An excellent choice especially if you wish to have a more natural looking outcome. Teardrop implants are also believed to have a firmer gel consistency

1. A linear incision is made from the hipbone extended to the other end along the bikini line.
2. Excess skin and fat from the abdominal wall are separated and removed.
3. Muscles are tightened by pulling them close together and have them stitched into a new position.
