Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, involves removing excess skin and fat from the middle and/or lower abdomen. This is done to decrease the size, and flatten the appearance of the abdomen, as well as repair and renew the abdominal muscle wall. Reasons for needing abdominoplasty include multiple pregnancies in women, excess weight loss, past abdominal surgeries that have left the abdomen weakened and fat deposits or loose abdominal skin that will not respond to regular diet and exercise.

At ICLS we offer the most advanced technologies and innovative surgical solutions of any stand-alone facility in Canada, giving our doctors an exceptional advantage in achieving your desired result. Abdominoplasty is performed in our clinic under general anaesthetic and requires an overnight stay in our fully-accredited Oakville clinic. 

There are two types of tummy tuck procedures offered. The first is a full or complete abdominoplasty, which addresses problems regarding the whole of the abdominal area. The second procedure is a partial abdominoplasty or mini-tummy tuck, which deals primarily with fat deposits and skin that are limited to the area below the navel. In both cases liposuction and skin tightening procedures may be performed in conjunction with the abdominoplasty to achieve an optimum body-contouring outcome.
