Tummy Tuck
Surgery to firm the abdomen, remove excess skin and restore confidence in your body — with individual planning and natural-looking results.
A firmer, more harmonious abdomen
Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and, when needed, repairs separated abdominal muscles to improve the waistline.
The technique, the type of incision and whether it is combined with liposuction are defined at your consultation, based on your anatomy, medical history and goals.
Situations where it may help
After pregnancy
Changes in skin and abdominal muscles that do not improve with diet or exercise.
Significant weight loss
Loose skin and laxity left after losing a lot of weight.
Diastasis recti
Separated abdominal muscles that cause a protruding abdomen or weakness.
Excess skin
Extra skin on the lower abdomen that makes clothes uncomfortable.
Scars or stretch marks
In some cases part of the skin with these marks on the lower abdomen is removed.
Waist contour
You want a flatter abdomen and a more defined silhouette, naturally.

What patients ask most
No. It is a contouring surgery, not a weight-loss procedure. Results last best with healthy habits.
Every surgery leaves a scar. In a tummy tuck it is placed low on the abdomen and planned so it can be covered by underwear or swimwear. We explain its location at your consultation.
It depends on each patient and technique. Dr. Hoyos explains timelines, care and follow-ups during your consultation.
In some cases it is combined with body contouring or breast surgery. This is decided at your consultation, always prioritizing your safety.
Yes. We coordinate your consultation and follow-up remotely. See our Plan your trip page for the full journey.
