Tummy tuck guide in Gangnam, Seoul: when loose skin is the issue,
not fat.
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess abdominal skin and can tighten separated muscles. It is a different operation from liposuction. This guide helps you decide which one your belly actually needs.
Abdominoplasty reshapes skin and muscle, not just fat.
In a full tummy tuck, the surgeon makes a long incision across the lower abdomen, removes excess skin, often repositions the navel, and may stitch together separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti). Liposuction is sometimes added to refine the sides.
Recovery is longer than liposuction, and the scar, while usually placed low, is permanent.
This is a general guide. Tummy tuck surgery is not part of 365mc’s published procedure list; 365mc focuses on fat removal, fat grafting and skin tightening.

365mc original · LAMS
See the fat come out, while you are awake
LAMS (Local Anesthetic Minimal-invasive Liposuction) was developed by 365mc for people who want liposuction’s direct removal of fat cells without an incision or sleep anesthesia.
Fat is drawn directly into a syringe. According to 365mc, extracting one bottle takes about ten minutes, and because you are awake you can see the fat that was removed and talk with your doctor during the procedure.
No incision, so no stitches to remove
No sleep anesthesia — local anesthesia only
No compression garment

Does 365mc offer tummy tucks? +
No. Tummy tuck surgery is not part of 365mc’s published procedure list. If you need skin removal, ask a board-certified plastic surgeon.
Can liposuction replace a tummy tuck? +
Only when the main issue is fat and skin tone is good. Liposuction does not remove hanging skin or repair muscles.
What is a mini tummy tuck? +
A shorter-incision version that treats skin below the navel only. See the mini tummy tuck guide.
Can I combine liposuction and skin tightening instead? +
For mild laxity, 365mc offers RF Body Skin Tightening, which can be done during liposuction. Your doctor will tell you whether it is likely to be enough.
