Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as a Tummy Tuck, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and tone the abdomen by removing excess skin, fat, and tightening the abdominal muscles. It is especially beneficial for individuals with sagging skin or stretched muscles due to weight loss, aging, or pregnancy.

Performed by Dr. Richie Gupta, a leading expert in body contouring surgery, this transformative procedure enhances both physical appearance and self-confidence—restoring a slimmer, firmer, and more youthful abdominal contour.

Am I a Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

You may be a good candidate for abdominoplasty if:

• You have loose or hanging skin around the abdomen

• You experience muscle separation (diastasis recti), often after childbirth

• You are at a stable weight and not planning significant future weight loss

• You are physically healthy and do not smoke

• You want to improve abdominal contour after weight loss or pregnancy

Tummy Tuck, Liposuction vs. Bariatric Surgery: Which One Do I Need?

• Bariatric surgery (e.g., gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) is meant for massive weight loss and is a treatment for obesity-related health issues.

• Liposuction: Removes localized fat but does not tighten skin or muscles

• Tummy tuck is a contouring surgery done after weight loss to remove loose skin and tone the abdomen.

If your primary concern is loose skin and weakened muscles, a tummy tuck is the more effective option. Liposuction may be combined with a tummy tuck for optimal shaping. If you are significantly overweight, bariatric surgery may be recommended first, followed by abdominoplasty once you reach a stable weight.
