# Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Surgery

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as tummy tuck surgery, addresses excess skin and fat across the abdomen while repairing separated abdominal muscles. For many patients the procedure delivers functional benefits alongside the contour improvement, including relief from back discomfort, resolution of intertrigo (skin irritation from overhanging skin), and improved core support. At Dr Turner's practice, abdominoplasty is the central procedure in a broader body contouring cluster that includes mini abdominoplasty, standard abdominoplasty with Hi-Def 360 liposuction, Fleur De Lis (vertical) abdominoplasty, and body lift procedures for patients following massive weight loss.

Dr Scott J Turner is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) with specific training in body contouring and post-pregnancy surgery. He consults at his Sydney clinics in Bondi Junction and Manly, with surgery performed at Bondi Junction Private Hospital and Delmar Private Hospital, Dee Why.
