Address loose skin and separated abdominal muscles with a tummy tuck in Lahore — performed by Dr. Farhan Gohar, a Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive, and Cleft Surgeon with 15+ years of experience in safe, natural-looking body contouring.
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.
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.
Depending on the degree of skin laxity, muscle separation, and your consultation findings, a tummy tuck can be performed using different approaches:
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.
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.
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.
our surgeon evaluates your skin laxity and muscle separation, discusses your goals, reviews your medical history, and plans the most suitable incision and technique.
General anesthesia is typically used to keep you comfortable and fully asleep throughout the procedure.
The underlying abdominal muscles are tightened and sutured back into position where separation is present, restoring a firmer core contour.
Excess skin is removed and, where planned, liposuction refines the surrounding contour; the navel is repositioned if a full abdominoplasty is performed.
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.
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.
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.
Good candidates typically:
The only reliable way to confirm candidacy is an in-person consultation.
Recovery after a tummy tuck varies from person to person. Here's a general guide to what you may expect during the healing process.
Rest with limited activity, wear the compression garment as instructed, and avoid straightening fully upright too soon; swelling and bruising are normal.
Most patients return to light daily activities and desk work; strenuous exercise remains restricted.
Most restrictions on exercise and physical activity are lifted, guided by your surgeon's assessment.
Final results settle in fully as residual swelling resolves and scars continue to fade.
Recovery time varies by patient and by whether liposuction was combined.
Results vary based on your starting anatomy, skin elasticity, the extent of muscle separation, and how closely post-op instructions are followed.
Tummy tuck cost in Pakistan is not a single fixed number — it depends on:
a mini abdominoplasty costs less than a full abdominoplasty
is combined with the tummy tuck
including prior surgeries or significant skin excess
As a general market reference, tummy tuck cost in Pakistan commonly falls in a broad range depending on technique and complexity, with mini abdominoplasty typically at the lower end and full abdominoplasty with muscle repair running higher. These figures are general market context, not a quote — your actual tummy tuck cost in Lahore can only be confirmed after Dr. Farhan Gohar assesses your anatomy and goals in person.
