Tummy Tuck

JK 4D Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) is a procedure that removes stretched and sagging abdominal fat and skin caused by childbirth or significant weight loss, while restoring and strengthening the abdominal muscles and fascia. It is suitable for sagging abdomens that are difficult to improve with Liposuction alone, and the method—full, mini, or extended Abdominoplasty—is selected according to the extent of sagging.

Recommended for

· Those concerned about stretch marks and loose abdominal skin after childbirth · Those with sagging abdominal skin after significant weight loss · Those with loose skin folding over the Scar Revision area after a cesarean section

Features of JK 4D Abdominoplasty

When skin elasticity declines and the abdomen becomes saggy, fundamental improvement is often difficult with Abdominal Liposuction alone. In such cases, Liposuction alone may instead cause further skin laxity or uneven Adhesion. JK Abdominoplasty improves the function of the muscles and fascia while removing abdominal fat and sagging skin together to create a slim, smooth abdomen.

A choice for yourself, for a healthy and beautiful body.

Point 3. Posture improvement

Point 4. Hernia prevention

Surgical Methods

Full Abdominoplasty

This is the most common type of Abdominoplasty. It is performed when skin elasticity has decreased across both the upper and lower abdomen around the navel, and the incision extends up to the navel area. After surgery, a new navel is created in an ideal position, and the scar remains between the hip bones on both sides.

Case: Weight 91 kg → 63 kg, waist 53 inches → 37 inches (combined with Breast lift, Arms, Thighs, flanks, and Abdominal Liposuction / left: after surgery · right: before surgery)

Mini (minimally invasive) Abdominoplasty

This method removes only the skin below the navel when only the lower abdomen has lost elasticity and become saggy after childbirth. The procedure is relatively simple and recovery is quick. When abdominal skin folds over a cesarean-section scar, the surgery can be performed effectively using that scar.

Case: Weight 69 kg → 51 kg, waist 33 inches → 27 inches (combined with Thighs, flanks, and Abdominal Liposuction / left: after surgery · right: before surgery)

Extended Abdominoplasty

When a large amount of tissue with reduced elasticity has accumulated across the waist and flanks, an extended incision beyond the hip bones is used to remove sagging skin from the flanks as well. The scar is longer than with full Abdominoplasty but is generally concealed within the underwear line.

Case: Weight 59 kg → 55 kg, waist 37 inches → 31 inches (combined with Thighs, flanks, and Abdominal Liposuction / left: after surgery · right: before surgery)
