What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen and tightens weakened abdominal muscles. It’s often chosen after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or ageing when loose skin removal and repair of abdominal separation (diastasis recti) are needed despite diet and exercise.

Mr Kuen Yeow Chin performs tummy tuck surgery in London, Berkshire and Surrey, delivering natural, tailored results while enhancing both form and function.
