Tummy tuck

A tummy tuck which has the medical name Abdominoplasty is performed to make the stomach tighter and flatter. A tummy tuck typically involves the removal of excess fat and skin from the middle and lower areas of the stomach. It is common that excess skin is left following weight loss and this is especially the case after pregnancy. Unfortunately no amount of exercise or dieting can reduce the appearance of this excess skin as it has been stretched beyond its normal capacity. A tummy tuck is often combined with liposuction to remove unwanted fat in the area and the excess skin is then tightened and removed to give an improved appearance of the stomach.

The tummy tuck procedure is normally carried out under a general anaesthetic and you can expect a minimum of one night stay in the hospital. The procedure will take around 2 hours to perform but this can be longer depending on whether additional procedures are also being carried out. During the procedure your surgeon will make an incision across your entire stomach from hip to hip. Your surgeon will then repair the over stretch muscles and reposition them for the best cosmetic appearance. The skin will then be stretched into place and any excess skin will be surgical removed to leave a flatter, tighter stomach.

You will require a period of recovery after surgery and this will vary depending on the extent of your treatment. This will all be discussed during your initial consultation so that you can plan things around your life and work schedule.
