What is Tummy Tuck Surgery and Why Choose Rattinan Clinic

Tummy tuck surgery is a procedure that removes excess sagging abdominal skin while tightening the abdominal muscles. It’s ideal for those who have been overweight or gone through pregnancy and whose skin hasn’t returned to its original shape.

The procedure is performed by specialized surgeons to achieve smooth surgical results with discreetly hidden suture lines. You’ll see body transformation from the very first visit. Performed by specialized surgeons at Rattinan Clinic with free consultation.

Tummy tuck surgery isn’t just cosmetic surgery—it’s about restoring self-confidence. Many people think tummy tuck surgery is merely about beauty, but the truth is, it’s an investment in better quality of life. When your abdomen becomes firm and tight again, confidence returns—whether it’s wearing clothes, exercising, or even daily living.

At Rattinan, we don’t just look at correcting sagging abdominal problems—we provide comprehensive care for both body and mind, ensuring your long-term happiness with yourself, along with our care that meets strict safety standards. Because we believe that lasting beauty must come with safety.

Understanding Tummy Tuck Surgery: Why It’s More Than Just Surgery

Tummy tuck surgery (Abdominoplasty / Tummy Tuck) is about restructuring the abdomen to restore balance and proportion. It’s not merely removing excess skin, but artistically crafting the aesthetic beauty of your body contour.

Problems That Tummy Tuck Surgery Can Effectively Address

• Sagging loose abdomen from significant weight loss or post-pregnancy – restored to firm, tight, and well-contoured
• Diastasis Recti (abdominal muscle separation) that doesn’t improve even with exercise – corrected through precise muscle repair suturing
• Stubborn localized fat that doesn’t respond to diet control and exercise – eliminated for a smooth, flat abdomen
• Stretch marks in areas that are removed, making the abdominal skin appear more uniform and smooth
• Misshapen or sagging navel – refined to achieve proper positioning and shape that harmonizes with the abdomen

Results are not just a flat stomach, but restored confidence and body aesthetics.

When Should You Consider Tummy Tuck Surgery

You may be a suitable candidate if you want to restore your abdomen and body shape back to balance, whether due to:

• Significant weight loss but the abdomen hasn’t returned to its original form
• Postpartum mothers who want to restore abdominal structure and tightness
• Weak or separated abdominal muscles (Diastasis Recti) that affects body shape or daily life
• Desire to correct scars from previous surgeries to make the abdominal skin smoother and more beautiful

Types of Tummy Tuck Surgery – Which One Matches Your Problem?

Whether you’re dealing with sagging loose skin, abdominal muscle separation, or stretch marks from body changes, tummy tuck surgery offers 3 main techniques to choose from, designed to restructure and proportion according to your specific problems and goals.

1. Mini Tummy Tuck – Precise Targeted Correction

Suitable for those with loose sagging skin limited to the lower abdomen (below the navel)

Key Benefits

• Small incision hidden below the underwear line
• No need to reposition the navel
• Quick recovery – return to light work within 1-2 weeks
• Perfect for those with lower abdomen-only concerns

2. Full Tummy Tuck – Comprehensive Abdominal Restoration

Suitable for those with loose sagging skin, abdominal muscle separation, and need comprehensive improvement including liposuction of the flanks and waist

Distinctive Features of Full Tummy Tuck at Rattinan

• Complete correction of both upper and lower abdomen including the sides (flanks)
• Repositioning of the navel for beautiful, natural results
• Muscle repair suturing for strength and tightness
• Clear and long-lasting results with seamless continuity
• Combined liposuction of abdomen and waist for balanced all-around contouring
• Coverage extending to sides and hips in the same procedure

3. Circumferential Tummy Tuck (Belt Lipectomy) – Complete 360° Body Transformation

Suitable for those seeking comprehensive 360° body restoration around the torso

Key Benefits

• Addresses abdomen, hips, back, and buttocks in one procedure
• Ideal for massive weight loss patients or those post-Bariatric Surgery
• Delivers the most dramatic and comprehensive transformation
• Holistic proportion adjustment for complete transformation

The Rattinan Approach Difference

At Rattinan Clinic, we incorporate Extended Tummy Tuck techniques as part of our Full Tummy Tuck because we believe complete correction must cover both the abdomen and flanks comprehensively. Other clinics may separate these into 2 programs based on their treatment policies.

Why do we include Extended in Full Tummy Tuck? While other clinics may offer Extended Tummy Tuck as a separate program, at Rattinan Clinic we believe that proper body care requires a holistic approach.

Correcting the abdomen without addressing the flanks creates discontinuity and unnatural results. Therefore, we include lateral extension as standard in our Full Tummy Tuck to achieve results that are:

• Continuous and seamless throughout the torso
• Cost-effective – comprehensive results at one price
• Single recovery period – no need for multiple surgeries
• Natural-looking results without visible boundaries or gaps

Because everyone has different starting points and needs, the choice of surgical type should be considered by a specialized plastic surgeon to achieve results that are beautiful, strong, and safe in the long term.

Tummy Tuck at Rattinan with Comprehensive Treatment Design

Tummy tuck surgery at Rattinan Clinic isn’t just about removing excess skin, but employs 5 precise steps meticulously designed for beautiful and lasting results:

1. Liposuction for proportion adjustment to create firmness and harmonious proportions before skin removal using 360 Body Contouring technique
2. Abdominal skin removal using advanced technology that reduces blood loss and places incisions in seamlessly hidden positions
3. Muscle repair suturing to reinforce muscle strength for long-term shape retention
4. Refinement and new navel creation with proper angle and size to match the new body shape, appearing natural without signs of surgery using the Almond Shape technique
5. Precise positioning and wound closure hiding scars below the bikini line and using multi-layer suturing techniques for smooth, thin, and beautiful scarring

Because every step is artistry, not just surgery, the results are not merely a flat abdomen, but long-term beauty and confidence.

Beautiful Navel, Hidden Scars, with Safety Care

After tummy tuck surgery, many people worry about suture marks and scarring. But at Rattinan, we prioritize both scar concealment and navel design because the navel cannot be hidden—if the navel doesn’t look beautiful, it’s immediately obvious that surgery was performed.

With our surgeons’ experience and specialized techniques, we create navels using the Almond Shape technique that are beautiful, natural-looking, and seamlessly blend with the new abdomen without visible transitions.

Results are not just a flat and firm abdomen, but also beautiful proportions and confidence that stays with you for years to come.

Comparison: Tummy Tuck vs. Liposuction

Some people think they’re suitable for liposuction, but doctors may recommend tummy tuck surgery because the actual skin condition is more severe than they realize. Let’s break down how these two procedures differ:

Summary: If you have sagging loose skin combined with excess fat, tummy tuck surgery will provide more comprehensive and longer-lasting results. However, if your skin is still tight with only excess fat, liposuction is a suitable option with faster recovery.

What Can Be Combined with Tummy Tuck Surgery

For complete results that meet all your body proportion and figure needs, in some cases tummy tuck surgery alone may not address your overall body shape goals. Surgeons may recommend Combination Surgery to achieve more harmonious and perfect results, such as:

1. Tummy Tuck + Liposuction

• Suitable for those with sagging loose skin combined with fat accumulation around the sides and back
• Helps create better waistline definition and balanced overall proportions
• May consider other areas such as arms, thighs, etc.

2. Tummy Tuck + Breast Lift (Mommy Makeover)

• For postpartum mothers who want to restore both abdomen and breast shape in one procedure
• Comprehensively restores proportions and confidence while reducing recovery time

3. Tummy Tuck + Fat Transfer to Hips (BBL)

• Suitable for those who want to adjust proportions of both front and back of the body
• Uses fat from liposuction to sculpt curvy, lifted buttocks while achieving a flat abdomen

Benefits of Combination Surgery: Achieve complete body proportions in one session, reduce the number of surgeries and recovery periods, and save overall costs.
