Stubborn belly fat, loose abdominal skin, and separated muscles can be frustrating issues — especially after weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. At Bong Bong Plastic Surgery in Korea, the Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) is a highly effective body contouring procedure designed to restore a flat, smooth, and sculpted midsection.
Known for delivering natural-looking, refined results with world-class care, Bong Bong has become a trusted destination for international patients seeking transformative aesthetic surgery in Seoul.
What Is a Tummy Tuck?
A Tummy Tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess abdominal skin and fat, and tightens the underlying abdominal muscles (rectus diastasis). It is commonly performed on patients who have:
- Loose, sagging skin after weight loss or childbirth
- Weakened or separated abdominal muscles
- Stretch marks in the lower belly
- A protruding belly resistant to diet and exercise
The result is a firmer, flatter abdomen with enhanced waistline definition and core support.
