Tummy Tuck surgery in South Korea 【ID Hospital】

What is id Tummy Tuck?

Normal body contouring surgery is done through liposuction, but there’s a limitation in fixing stretched abdominal walls or lost elasticity caused by pregnancy, child delivery, or drastic weight loss. Tummy Tuck has to be carried out for these cases, which is different from the normal method where only skin excision is done. Tummy Tuck in Korea operates liposuction on the body part with excessive fat and removes skin on the stretched area to correct the entire waist line and to create a smooth flat abdomen.

Candidates for Liposuction!

Loose and stretched skin after pregnancy and giving birth
Sagging and loose skin after weight loss
Sagging skin around the abdomen after liposuction
Sagging lower stomach due to a lack of elasticity
Abdominal skin sagging due to relaxation of abdominal muscles

Perform Tummy Tuck Procedure

1. Abdomen Design

We design the abdomen procedure according to each patient’s unnecessary fat and how stretched out the skin is.

2. Liposuction on both sides of the waist and upper abdomen **

A small incision is made on the lower abdomen, and the overall volume is reduced.
Tip. Unlike surgeries for other body parts, the fat area is from the front of the belly to the waist and back line, so it’s important to remove the exact amount of fat at one time when doing abdomen surgery.
**Liposuction is not included in the tummy tuck procedure

3. Abdomen resection on stretched lower belly

Re-sectioning of stretched skin and abdominal walls to create a slim abdomen.
Tip. If you do only liposuction on the stretched belly with no elasticity, the skin will not improve. You have to remove drooping tissue to fix the line and elasticity.

4. Suture

Suture line is located on the lower abdomen so it is easily covered by underwear and the scar will fade away as time goes by.
