Typical ranges for tummy tuck; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is surgery that removes loose skin and fat from the lower abdomen and tightens the separated abdominal muscles to restore a flatter, firmer contour. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, it is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon.
Pregnancy and major weight change can stretch the skin and separate the abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) in a way exercise cannot reverse. A full tummy tuck treats the whole abdomen and repositions the navel; a mini tummy tuck treats the area below the navel through a shorter incision. Liposuction of the flanks is often added.
Who is a tummy tuck for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- Loose, overhanging lower abdominal skin
- Abdominal muscle separation after pregnancy
- Stretch marks concentrated below the navel
- Stable weight and no further pregnancies planned
How a tummy tuck is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon assesses skin excess, muscle separation and any hernia or scars, and explains whether a full or mini tummy tuck suits you and where the scar will sit.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- Tightening muscle and removing skin Through a low incision that can be hidden by underwear, the abdominal muscles are stitched together, excess skin and fat are removed and the navel is repositioned.
- Recovery and discharge You rest in a private recovery room under monitoring. Before you leave, the team explains wound care, medication and your follow-up schedule.
Recovery and aftercare
You walk slightly bent for the first days while the abdomen feels tight. Drains may be used briefly, a compression garment is worn for several weeks and strenuous exercise is avoided for about six weeks.
- Regenerative laser and radiofrequency care in weeks 3–4
- Unlimited scar care

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a full and a mini tummy tuck?
A mini tummy tuck treats loose skin below the navel through a shorter incision. A full tummy tuck treats the whole abdomen, repairs the muscles along their length and repositions the navel.
Where is the tummy tuck scar?
Low on the abdomen, from hip to hip for a full tummy tuck, placed so it can be covered by underwear or swimwear. Marble includes unlimited scar care in aftercare.
Can I have a tummy tuck before having more children?
It is usually best to wait until you have completed your family, because pregnancy can stretch the skin and muscles again.
Who will perform my procedure at Marble Plastic Surgery?
The surgeon you consult with performs your surgery. Marble follows a surgeon-of-record policy with no substitute surgeons, and a board-certified anesthesiologist is on site full-time to manage anesthesia and monitoring.
