Whether due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging, many individuals struggle with loose abdominal skin, separated muscles, or stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. A Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) is a highly effective surgical solution that can restore a smooth, firm, and youthful midsection.
At JK Plastic Surgery Center in Seoul, one of Korea’s leading medical tourism clinics, tummy tuck surgery is performed by board-certified body contouring specialists using advanced techniques and hospital-grade safety protocols. Patients from around the world choose JK for its commitment to natural results, medical excellence, and full-service international care.
🏥 What Is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens weakened or separated abdominal muscles. The result is a firmer, flatter, and more contoured stomach.
JK offers customized approaches including:
- Mini Tummy Tuck: Ideal for lower belly fat and skin laxity.
- Full Tummy Tuck: Comprehensive contouring from upper to lower abdomen.
- Extended Tummy Tuck: Includes flanks and love handles for broader reshaping.
- Tummy Tuck with Liposuction (Lipoabdominoplasty): For enhanced fat reduction and muscle tightening.
