What Is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess loose skin and fat from the abdomen and, in most cases, repairs separated or weakened abdominal muscles (a condition called diastasis recti) to restore a firmer, flatter contour.

It’s important to understand what a tummy tuck is not: it is not a weight-loss procedure, and it is not primarily a fat-removal procedure in the way liposuction is. It works best for patients close to a stable, healthy weight who are left with loose abdominal skin and muscle laxity, most commonly after pregnancy or significant weight loss.

Tummy Tuck in Lahore at Azar Plast

At Azar Plast, tummy tuck surgery in Lahore is performed by Dr. Farhan Gohar, a Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive, and Cleft Surgeon with over 15 years of surgical experience. Every treatment plan starts with an in-person consultation and assessment of your skin laxity, muscle separation, scarring goals, and overall health, because the right technique and incision approach differ from patient to patient. The focus throughout is on surgical safety, precision, and a result that looks like a refined, natural version of you rather than an obviously “operated on” look.

Tummy Tuck Techniques

Depending on the degree of skin laxity, muscle separation, and your consultation findings, a tummy tuck can be performed using different approaches:

Full (traditional) abdominoplasty

A hip-to-hip incision allows removal of excess skin from above and below the belly button, full muscle repair, and repositioning of the navel. This is the most comprehensive technique, suited to patients with significant skin excess.

Combination with liposuction

A tummy tuck is frequently combined with liposuction of the abdomen and flanks for a more refined overall contour, particularly in patients with excess fat as well as skin.

Combination with other facial procedures

Double chin surgery is sometimes paired with other facial procedures for patients seeking broader lower-face and neck rejuvenation.

Your surgeon will recommend the right technique for your case at your consultation — not every technique suits every patient.

The Tummy Tuck Procedure, Step by Step

01

Consultation & Planning

our surgeon evaluates your skin laxity and muscle separation, discusses your goals, reviews your medical history, and plans the most suitable incision and technique.

02

Anesthesia

General anesthesia is typically used to keep you comfortable and fully asleep throughout the procedure.

03

Muscle Repair

The underlying abdominal muscles are tightened and sutured back into position where separation is present, restoring a firmer core contour.

04

Skin Removal & Contouring

Excess skin is removed and, where planned, liposuction refines the surrounding contour; the navel is repositioned if a full abdominoplasty is performed.

05

Closure & Compression

Incisions are closed in layers and a compression garment is fitted to support healing, reduce swelling, and help the tissue settle into its new contour.

Procedure length depends on the technique and whether liposuction is combined — typically 2 to 4 hours.

Tummy Tuck Surgery

Is a Tummy Tuck Safe?

When performed by a qualified, experienced surgeon in an appropriate surgical facility, a tummy tuck is a well-established and generally safe procedure. Like any surgery, it carries risks — swelling, bruising, fluid collection under the skin, scarring, or anesthesia-related reactions — which is why proper patient selection and surgical planning matter more than the marketing claims of any single technique.

A safety principle worth knowing as you research: combining a tummy tuck with large-volume liposuction or other procedures in one session can meaningfully increase surgical risk and recovery demands. An experienced surgeon will assess whether staging procedures is safer for your specific case rather than combining everything into one long operation. This is something Dr. Farhan Gohar will assess and explain clearly for your specific case.

Is a Tummy Tuck Painful?

Most patients experience moderate discomfort in the first several days, particularly related to the muscle repair, managed with prescribed medication. Swelling, tightness, and bruising are normal and typically ease over two to three weeks, though a feeling of tightness across the abdomen can persist longer while tissues settle. General anesthesia keeps you fully unaware during the procedure itself — discomfort is a recovery-phase experience.

The only  reliable way to confirm candidacy is an in-person consultation.

RECOVERY JOURNEY

Recovery Timeline

Recovery after a tummy tuck varies from person to person. Here's a general guide to what you may expect during the healing process.

02
3-4 WEEKS

Return to Light Activities

Most patients return to light daily activities and desk work; strenuous exercise remains restricted.

03
6–8 WEEKS

Return to Normal Activity

Most restrictions on exercise and physical activity are lifted, guided by your surgeon's assessment.

SEVERAL MONTHS

Final Results Develop

Final results settle in fully as residual swelling resolves and scars continue to fade.

Tummy Tuck Before and After Results
