A flat, toned stomach is something many people desire, but factors like pregnancy, major weight loss, aging, or genetics can leave behind loose skin, stubborn fat, and weakened abdominal muscles. When diet and exercise fail to help, tummy tuck surgery (Abdominoplasty) becomes the most effective and permanent solution.

At Asteria Aesthetics, Bhopal, Dr. Apoorv Loya specializes in advanced tummy tuck procedures that restore a firm, sculpted midsection with natural-looking results.

What Is a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)?

A tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin, tightens loose abdominal muscles, and contours the stomach area.

It is not a weight-loss surgery, but a body-shaping procedure for people who:

• Have loose, sagging abdominal skin

• Suffer from muscle separation after pregnancy (diastasis recti)

• Have stubborn belly fat that doesn’t go away with exercise

• Experience fold lines or stretch marks

• Want a flatter and firmer stomach

A tummy tuck provides permanent results when paired with a healthy lifestyle.
