Do you recognise this feeling?

You’ve dropped weight. You’ve got children. You worked hard at the gym.

And your stomach still does not appear as you want it to.

The loose skin that refuses to tighten. When you cough, your muscles extend and protrude. That pooch that no amount of crunches would heal.

This is not a failure of effort. This is a tissue failure.

When skin is stretched too far, whether due to pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or just genetics, it loses its ability to snap back. Exercise alone cannot mend separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti).

A stomach tuck can achieve what diet and exercise cannot.

Do You Experience the Following?

  • Loose, sagging skin on your abdomen that won’t tighten?
  • A “pooch” below your belly button that persists despite exercise?
  • Separated abdominal muscles causing a bulge when you sit up?
  • Stretch marks located on excess skin you wish to remove?
  • A belly button that has changed shape after pregnancy or weight loss?
  • Difficulty finding clothes that fit comfortably because of excess abdominal skin?
  • Rashes or irritation in the skin folds of your lower abdomen?

If you answered yes to any of these, a tummy tuck may be your solution.

What is a Tummy Tuck? (Abdominoplasty)

A stomach tuck, often called abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that

  • Removes extra skin from the abdomen.
  • Tightens weak or divided muscles (diastasis healing).
  • Removes stubborn fat (often paired with liposuction).

Tummy Tuck Types:

Type of Tummy Tuck What It Fixes Who It Helps Where The Doctor Cuts
Full Tummy Tuck Fixes the whole belly from top to bottom People with lots of loose skin and weak muscles all over their tummy A long cut low on the belly (hip to hip) + a cut around the belly button
Mini Tummy Tuck Fixes only the lower belly below the belly button People whose loose skin is just in the lower part (like after having a baby) A small cut low on the belly, usually no cut near the belly button
Extended Tummy Tuck Fixes the belly AND the sides (love handles) People with loose skin that goes all the way around to their sides and back A longer cut that goes around the hips
Circumferential Tummy Tuck Fixes the whole belly all the way around (360 degrees) People who lost a lot of weight and have loose skin everywhere around their middle A cut that goes all the way around the waist like a belt
Tummy Tuck with Liposuction Fixes loose skin AND sucks out extra fat at the same time People who have both loose skin and stubborn fat they want gone Depends on which tummy tuck they get, plus tiny cuts for the lipo

Conditions Treated with Tummy Tuck Surgery:

Condition Description
Excess Abdominal Skin Loose, hanging skin from weight loss or ageing
Stubborn Fat Deposits Fat that resists diet and exercise
Stretch Marks Located on excess skin that will be removed
C-Section Shelf Overhanging skin above a C-section scar
Post-Weight Loss Deformity Loose skin after significant weight reduction
Muscle Laxity Weak, stretched abdominal wall muscles

Subconscious Effects of Abdominal Appearance:

Your stomach serves as both the actual and metaphorical center of your body. How you feel about your stomach impacts:

Confident in clothing: Fitting into clothes without concealing.

Intimacy: Feeling comfortable being seen.

Posture refers to how you hold yourself.

When you’re continually sucking in your stomach or avoiding certain garments, it impacts more than just your look; it also affects your whole quality of life.

A stomach tuck alters more than simply your physical appearance. It affects how you feel about yourself.

Expected Results of Tummy Tuck Surgery:

Abdominoplasty produces spectacular, long-term outcomes that:

  • Remove extra skin to provide a sleek, solid look.
  • Reposition the belly button for a natural appearance.
  • Improve waistline definition and proportions.
  • Remove skin-to-skin friction and rashes.

The outcomes are permanent: the excised skin does not regrow, and the restored muscles remain tight. Maintaining a constant weight guarantees that the results continue eternally.

The Journey to a Flatter Stomach: Results Timeline

Timeline What to Expect
Immediately After Surgery Flatter appearance visible, significant swelling, drains in place
1 Week Swelling peaks, discomfort improving, drains still in place
2 Weeks Drains removed, standing straighter, results emerging
3-4 Weeks Return to most daily activities, swelling decreasing
6 Weeks Clearance for most exercise, significant improvement
3 Months 70-80% of final result visible
6 Months 90-95% of final result, scars fading
12 Months Final result fully revealed, scars mature

Functional and Aesthetic Advantages of Tummy Tuck:

Aesthetic benefits:

  • It includes a flatter, firmer abdomen in apparel and swimwear.
  • Improved waistline shape and proportions
  • Remove stretch marks from the removed skin.
  • natural-looking belly button repositioning
  • Improved body confidence and self-image.

Functional benefits:

  • Stronger Tummy Muscles – Fixing the muscles makes your middle stronger, like wearing a natural belt inside
  • Less Back Pain – When your tummy is strong, it helps hold up your back so it doesn’t hurt as much
  • Stand Up Straighter – Stronger belly muscles help you sit and stand tall, like a soldier
  • No More Skin Rashes – Loose skin can rub and get sore; taking it away stops the rubbing and itching
  • Easier to Move and Play – Your body feels better when you run, jump, or exercise

Treatment Criteria for Natural-Looking Tummy Tuck:

Ideal Candidates:

  •   Are within 10-15% of their ideal body weight
  •   Have stable weight (no major fluctuations planned)
  •  Have excess abdominal skin and/or muscle laxity
  •  Are in good overall health with no uncontrolled medical conditions
  •  Are non-smokers or willing to quit (essential)
  •  Have realistic expectations about results and scarring
  •  Are finished having children (future pregnancy may reverse results)
  •  Understand and accept the recovery process

Not Ideal Candidates:

  •  Have uncontrolled medical conditions (diabetes, heart disease)
  •  Are active smokers unwilling to quit
  •  Have unrealistic expectations about scarring

Pre-Care Tips:

To prepare for the belly tuck surgery:

  • No Smoking (For Adults) – If you smoke, you must cease for four weeks prior to surgery.
  • No Special Medicines – Avoid using aspirin, which thins your blood. Thin blood can cause more bruising, and we want your body to heal nicely.

Tummy Tuck Surgery Procedure in Jeddah:

Step 1: Anesthesia Administration:

The process is conducted under general anesthesia, so you will be perfectly comfortable and unconscious throughout the process. An expert anaesthetist constantly checks you.

Step 2: Incision Placement:

Dr. Ayoub meticulously prepares and designates incisions based on your individual anatomy and the kind of belly tuck being performed:

Step 3: Muscle Repair (Diastasis Repair):

If you have split abdominal muscles (which is typical after pregnancy), Dr. Ayoub will

  • Suture the muscle back together at the midline.
  • Restore core strength and internal support.
  • Create a stronger and flatter abdominal wall.

This treatment is permanent and significantly enhances the waistline shape.

Step 4: Excess Skin Removal

The extra skin is meticulously noted and then surgically removed. The quantity eliminated is determined on your specific anatomy and aims. This is what produces the dramatic tightening effect.

Step 5: Liposuction (if indicated)

For improved shaping, Dr. Ayoub frequently combines tummy tuck with liposuction of

  • Flanks (Love Handles)
  • Upper abdomen
  • Hips

This produces a more defined waistline and a smoother overall appearance.

Step 7: Closing:

Incisions are closed in layers to ensure maximum healing.

  • Surgical drains can be implanted to collect fluid (usually 1-2 weeks).
  • Sterile dressings were used.
  • Compression garment is fitting.

Post-Operative Care After Tummy Tuck:

  • Drains removed (usually at 1-2 weeks)
  • Return to desk work if cleared
  • Still no heavy lifting or strenuous activity
  • Continue compression garment

Combining Tummy Tuck with Other Procedures:

Combining a tummy tuck with other body contouring procedures is an effective approach for comprehensive transformation. 

  • One anesthesia, one recovery
  • Lower total cost than separate procedures
  • More balanced overall results
  • Reduced total downtime

Common Combinations:

Procedure Why Combine
Liposuction Enhances waist definition, treats flanks
Breast Surgery Complete “mommy makeover”
Thigh Lift Addresses entire lower body
Arm Lift Comprehensive body contouring
Fleur de Lis Vertical component for massive weight loss

The Mommy Makeover – Tummy tuck + breast surgery (lift, augmentation, or reduction) is one of our most requested combinations for post-pregnancy transformation.
