What is a Tummy Tuck?
Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat while repairing separated abdominal muscles for a flatter, firmer midsection.
More Than Just Skin Removal
A tummy tuck, medically known as abdominoplasty, addresses multiple concerns that diet and exercise cannot fix. Whether you have loose skin after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or simply stubborn abdominal laxity, this procedure can restore a toned, youthful contour.
Dr. Houtan specialises in advanced techniques including high-definition abdominoplasty, which goes beyond traditional methods to carefully sculpt and highlight your natural abdominal muscles, creating a highly defined, athletic, and contoured appearance.
- Removes excess skin and stubborn fat deposits
- Repairs diastasis recti (separated abdominal muscles)
- Eliminates stretch marks below the navel
- Creates a natural-looking belly button
- Delivers permanent results with stable weight
The Surgical Process
Anaesthesia
General anaesthesia ensures complete comfort throughout the procedure
→Incision
Horizontal incision placed low, hidden within underwear line
→Muscle Repair
Separated muscles are stitched together for a firm core
→Skin Removal
Excess skin is removed and remaining skin is tightened
→Closure
New belly button created, incisions closed with fine sutures

Specialising in advanced abdominoplasty techniques, he has performed more than 600 tummy tuck surgeries with exceptional patient satisfaction rates. His expertise in the high-definition technique — which he now applies in the majority of his cases — natural abdominal muscles, creating a highly defined, athletic, and contoured appearance.
Every patient deserves a personalised approach. I take time to understand your goals and recommend the technique that will give you the best possible result with minimal downtime.
Which Tummy Tuck is Right for You?
Dr. Houtan offers a full range of abdominoplasty techniques to address every patient’s unique needs and goals.
Mini Tummy Tuck
Ideal for patients with minimal excess skin limited to below the navel. Shorter incision, no navel repositioning, and faster recovery. Perfect if you’re close to your ideal weight with localised concerns.
Full Tummy Tuck
The gold standard for comprehensive abdominal rejuvenation. Addresses the entire abdomen from ribs to pubic bone, includes muscle repair, and repositions the belly button for natural results.
Fleur-de-Lis Tummy Tuck
The most comprehensive option for massive weight loss patients. Combines horizontal and vertical incisions to remove maximum excess skin, creating dramatic transformation for post-bariatric patients.
Am I a Candidate for Tummy Tuck?
Understanding who benefits most from abdominoplasty helps set realistic expectations and ensures optimal results.

- Separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
