A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens underlying muscles, addressing laxity that diet and exercise cannot correct — most commonly after pregnancy or significant weight loss. Dr. Salim AYOUB performs both full and mini tummy tuck procedures in Lebanon, tailored to the amount of correction needed.

A full tummy tuck addresses the entire abdominal area including muscle repair (often for diastasis recti after pregnancy), while a mini tummy tuck focuses on the area below the navel for patients with more limited excess skin. Many patients combine a tummy tuck with liposuction of the flanks for a more complete contour.
