Final pricing depends on whether it’s mini or full abdominoplasty, whether liposuction is combined, and individual body composition — confirmed during consultation.
Who is a good candidate?
- Loose, sagging abdominal skin following pregnancy, major weight loss, or aging
- Weakened or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), often after pregnancy
- Diet and exercise haven’t resolved excess lower-belly skin or fat
- Good general health, at or near a stable target weight
- Not planning future pregnancies (a future pregnancy can undo the muscle repair)
- Non-smoker, or willing to stop smoking well before and after surgery
Suitable for both men and women. It is not a weight-loss procedure — it’s a body-contouring procedure best suited to people close to their goal weight who are left with excess skin or muscle laxity.
Types of abdominoplasty
Mini Tummy Tuck
Addresses skin and muscle laxity below the navel only. Shorter incision, shorter recovery, lower cost — best for limited excess skin concentrated in the lower abdomen.
Full (Standard) Abdominoplasty
Addresses the entire abdomen, from the pubic area to above the navel. The navel is repositioned, and both upper and lower abdominal muscles are tightened.
The tummy tuck procedure: step by step
1. Consultation
Dr. Saleem assesses skin laxity, muscle separation, and overall health, and discusses whether mini or full abdominoplasty (with or without liposuction) is the right fit.
2. Anaesthesia
Performed under general anaesthesia.
3. Incision
A horizontal incision is made low across the abdomen, typically hidden below the underwear line. Full abdominoplasty also involves an incision around the navel.
4. Muscle repair
Separated or weakened abdominal muscles are stitched back together to tighten the core.
5. Skin & fat removal
Excess skin and fat are removed; liposuction may be used simultaneously to refine the waist and flanks.
6. Closure
The navel is repositioned (for full abdominoplasty), and incisions are closed with sutures. Duration: 2–3 hours.
Recovery & aftercare
- Hospital stay
Typically 1–2 days for pain management and monitoring.
- Compression garment
Worn for several weeks to support healing and reduce swelling.
- ~3 weeks
Most patients need around 3 weeks before resuming normal activities; strenuous exercise is delayed longer.
- ~3 months
Swelling gradually subsides; final contour is typically visible.
Removal of excess tissue can result in an apparent weight reduction of roughly 5–10 kg — a body-contouring effect, not a substitute for weight loss.
Risks & side effects
- Seroma (fluid collection under the skin) — the most common tummy-tuck-specific complication
- Wound healing problems, especially when a large amount of skin is removed
- Swelling and bruising lasting several weeks
- Infection
- Scarring (positioned low, to be hidden by underwear/swimwear)
- Numbness or altered sensation in the treated area, usually temporary
- Blood clots (as with any procedure under general anaesthesia)
Dr. Saleem reviews individual risk factors — including weight, smoking status, and prior abdominal surgeries — during consultation.
Why patients choose this surgeon
- Am I overpaying, or is this good value?
- PKR 350,000–475,000 full package here versus PKR 400,000–800,000 general Pakistan market rate, and 6–8× higher costs in Europe/UK/Middle East.
- Will my muscles actually be repaired, not just skin removed?
- Muscle repair (tightening separated or weakened abdominal muscles) is a core step of the procedure, not an optional add-on.
- Can this be combined with other procedures?
- Routinely combined with liposuction, or as part of a broader mommy makeover or body lift — planned together during consultation.

Tummy tuck questions patients ask first
How much does a tummy tuck cost in Lahore?
A full tummy tuck package at our clinic — including surgeon fee, hospital charges, anaesthesia, a 2-day room stay, and compression garment — is well below the general Pakistan market range of PKR 400,000–800,000.
Is a tummy tuck safe for someone planning future pregnancies?
It’s generally recommended to complete childbearing before a tummy tuck, since a future pregnancy can stretch the abdominal skin and muscles again, undoing some of the results.
Can a tummy tuck be combined with other procedures?
Yes. It’s commonly combined with liposuction, and can be part of a broader “mommy makeover” with breast surgery, or with a belt lipectomy/body lift for more extensive contouring.
Will a tummy tuck help me lose weight?
A tummy tuck is a body-contouring procedure, not a weight-loss treatment. It can result in an apparent reduction of roughly 5–10 kg by removing excess skin and fat, but isn’t a substitute for diet, exercise, or a structured weight-loss program.
How long is recovery after a tummy tuck?
Most patients stay in hospital 1–2 days and need about 3 weeks before returning to normal daily activities. A compression garment is worn for several weeks, and full results are typically visible around 3 months.
Is a tummy tuck painful?
There is post-operative discomfort for the first several days, managed with pain medication, along with swelling that can last a few weeks. The procedure itself is performed under general anaesthesia.
What’s the difference between a mini and full tummy tuck?
A mini tummy tuck addresses excess skin and muscle laxity below the navel only, with a shorter incision and recovery. A full abdominoplasty treats the entire abdomen, repositions the navel, and tightens muscles above and below it.
