Tummy Tuck
Restoring a flat, firm abdomen by removing excess skin and fat and tightening the underlying muscle — especially after pregnancy or major weight loss.
Tummy Tuck
What it is
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes loose, excess abdominal skin and fat and repairs separated or weakened abdominal muscles. It is the definitive solution for the overhang and laxity that diet and exercise cannot correct after pregnancy or weight loss.
Who it's for
- Loose abdominal skin after pregnancy or weight loss
- Separated abdominal muscles (diastasis)
- A persistent lower-tummy overhang
- Patients at a stable weight, finished with pregnancies
The procedure
Performed under general anaesthesia over two to three hours. Excess skin and fat are removed, the muscle tightened, and the contour refined, often with liposuction. Usually a one to two night stay.
Recovery & aftercare
A compression garment is worn for several weeks; you walk gently from day one. Desk work resumes in two to three weeks; full activity at six weeks.
Frequently asked
How is it different from liposuction?+
Liposuction removes fat only; a tummy tuck also removes loose skin and tightens muscle. They are often combined.
Will there be a scar?+
Yes — a low horizontal scar hidden below the bikini line, which fades over a year. It is the trade-off for a flat, firm abdomen.
Should I wait if planning pregnancy?+
Yes — it is best done after you have completed your family, as pregnancy can reverse the muscle repair.
