Tummy Tuck
(Abdominoplasty)
Remove excess abdominal skin, tighten weakened muscles, and achieve a flatter, firmer abdomen — for lasting confidence.
What Is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and tightens weakened or separated abdominal muscles to create a flatter, firmer, and better-contoured abdomen.
At Skin Win Clinic, tummy tuck surgery is tailored to each individual — whether post-pregnancy, after weight loss, or due to age-related skin laxity — with a focus on natural contour and lasting results.
Types of Tummy Tuck
Full Abdominoplasty
Most ComprehensiveComplete reshaping of upper and lower abdomen — removes most excess skin and fat, tightens full abdominal muscles
Mini Abdominoplasty
Minimal CorrectionTargets the lower abdomen below the navel — smaller incision, suitable for mild skin laxity
