With extensive experience and techniques grounded in anatomy
Aiming for the ideal body design
Tummy tucks are procedures that require lengthy surgery times and place significant strain on the body. That's precisely why “proven expertise” is essential for the surgical technique and final results. At Bianca Clinic, we combine the removal of excess skin and fat with rectus abdominis sheath suturing* and umbilical reconstruction to achieve an ideal waistline. Experienced board-certified plastic surgeons from the Japan Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery perform the surgery, striving for natural-looking results with careful consideration for scarring.
For those concerned about post-operative downtime, we also offer IV therapy options to support recovery, such as exosome IVs and high-concentration vitamin IVs. We have systems in place to reduce the burden tailored to each individual's physical condition and lifestyle, so please feel free to consult with our clinic.

CHARACTERISTICSWhat is a Tami Tack?
Tummy tuck is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat and skin from the abdomen. "Tummy" is a colloquial term for the belly, while "tuck" means to fold in. Though not a widely known procedure in Japan, it is commonly performed overseas, particularly for individuals who have lost significant weight. It is sometimes incorporated into medical care known as a "mommy makeover" to restore postpartum body contours.
Many people struggle with a protruding belly caused by pregnancy, childbirth, dieting, or aging. While liposuction is effective for reducing abdominal volume, it is difficult to restore stretched, sagging skin. High-frequency tightening treatments may also fail to deliver sufficient results. Tummy Tuck is a procedure that surgically removes sagging skin and fat, creating a sleek, defined waistline.
Tammy Tack Application Sites and Scope
The incision site and extent are designed based on the degree of abdominal sagging.
Significant overall abdominal sagging... Remove skin from above the navel to the pubic mound and reconstruct the navel.
Sagging in the lower abdomen only... Remove excess skin and fat below the navel to tighten the area.
Minor sagging in the lower abdomen... By shortening the incision line and reducing the excision area, we minimize the burden.
Specifically, excess skin and fat are excised along a line that can be concealed by undergarments. However, the key issue is the "position of the navel." Simply removing skin can result in an unnatural navel placement. Therefore, after excision, the navel must be reconstructed and sutured back into a natural position. Post-surgery, the navel is carefully repositioned and sutured to prevent shifting.
Incisions are discreetly placed We also prioritize the aesthetic appearance of scars
Tummy tucks involve abdominal incisions, so many patients are concerned about scarring. After surgery, a relatively long scar remains along the lower abdomen. Its position and length are carefully determined by the surgeon based on the degree of abdominal sagging and the patient's preferences.
For example, we carefully position the incision along lines concealed by undergarments or utilize existing cesarean scar lines to minimize visibility. We pay meticulous attention to the incision line to ensure it does not interfere with daily life.
We also take great care with the final appearance after surgery, taking time to perform meticulous suturing to minimize visible scarring. If you have any concerns or questions, please consult with us during your initial counseling session.

RECOMMENDED POINTS
Belly fat is difficult to target through diet or exercise alone.
When skin is stretched due to pregnancy or rapid weight fluctuations, its elasticity may not keep up, making it difficult to return to its original state. Skin stretched in this way may not shrink back naturally even after weight loss, potentially remaining as sagging skin.
Such skin laxity is often difficult to improve through diet or exercise alone and frequently hinders achieving your ideal body contour. A tummy tuck surgically addresses the root cause of this laxity, making it possible to reconstruct a flat, firm waistline.
Achieve your ideal body contour with a combination of liposuction and tummy tuck
Liposuction and tummy tucks target different layers of tissue, so combining them broadens the approach to sculpting your body contours. Liposuction removes subcutaneous fat, while a tummy tuck excises excess skin, resulting in a firm, taut abdomen free of sagging.
Combining treatments can sometimes help achieve a well-defined, ideal body contour with high precision. During your consultation, we will carefully discuss your desired outcome and recommend the most suitable procedures. Please feel free to schedule a consultation.
By also tightening the loose rectus abdominis muscles, the entire abdomen becomes flat.
At TammyTuck, we not only remove excess skin and fat but also suture the rectus abdominis muscle when necessary. The rectus abdominis is the long muscle running vertically down the center of the abdomen. If this muscle separates due to pregnancy or significant weight fluctuations, it can cause a protruding lower abdomen or sagging.
At TammyTuck, we reinforce abdominal support from within by suturing open fascia. By approaching the skin, fat, and muscle in three dimensions, we aim to achieve a flatter, tighter abdominal contour.

Treatment Process
CONTENT OF TREATMENTPhysician's examination and counseling
First, we'll discuss your concerns during a consultation. After the doctor thoroughly examines your physical condition, we'll determine if TamiTuck is suitable for you. If you have any questions or concerns about the procedure, please feel free to ask us anything.
Design
We carefully examine your overall body balance, degree of sagging, and fat distribution, discuss your preferences, and then determine the final design.
treatment
On the day of the procedure, we first confirm the design and mark the area, then administer intravenous anesthesia. Once we verify the anesthesia has taken full effect, we begin the surgery. The estimated procedure time is approximately 5 hours. If necessary, a drain may be inserted into the incision to remove blood, helping to reduce post-operative swelling and bruising.
Aftercare
Following surgery, compression bandaging must be maintained for 72 hours, after which a corset must be worn over the abdomen for a specified period. Showering is permitted starting on the third day after surgery, and sutures are typically removed approximately one week later.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty and Belly Button Reshaping)
Q&ACan tummy tucks also remove fat?
Yes, at TammyTuck, we can remove the fat directly beneath the skin along with the skin itself. Combining this with liposuction allows us to achieve a more balanced body contour. We will recommend the most appropriate procedure based on your goals and desired outcome.
Can you feel the effects of TammyTuck after just one session?
Yes, you can see results after just one TammyTuck procedure. Since it surgically removes excess skin and subcutaneous fat, you'll notice a visible change in your abdominal appearance immediately after the procedure, and the effects last long-term.
What is the progress after the Tammy Tack procedure?
After surgery, muscle-like soreness may persist for about a week. Bruising typically subsides over about 10 days, and significant swelling generally decreases within about two weeks. However, recovery speed varies from person to person. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions after surgery and attend follow-up appointments as needed. If you experience any concerning symptoms, please consult your doctor promptly.
How can I reduce downtime after a tummy tuck?
To minimize post-operative swelling and pain, the fundamental approach is to follow your doctor's instructions for rest and wear specialized compression garments correctly. Avoiding overexertion and allowing your body to rest thoroughly is the fastest route to recovery. Additionally, combining treatments such as exosome IV drips, high-concentration vitamin IV drips, or hydrogen IV drips can help reduce downtime.
Are Tammy's scars noticeable?
The incision leaves a horizontal scar on the lower abdomen, but it is positioned to be concealed by underwear or swimwear, making it virtually unnoticeable in daily life. Furthermore, careful suturing ensures the scar heals with minimal visibility.
Can I get a tummy tuck after a C-section?
Yes, the procedure is possible. We may utilize the existing cesarean section scar for the incision and take care to ensure the new scar is inconspicuous. The surgical approach will be determined based on the location and condition of the scar, so please discuss this during your initial consultation.
What treatments are recommended for use with Tammy Tack?
Liposuction is often performed in combination. By removing fat in a balanced manner, a more beautiful body contour can be achieved.
