Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck removes loose skin and tightens the abdominal muscles to create a firmer midsection. It is particularly effective after significant weight loss or pregnancy where skin has lost its elasticity. You will need a few weeks of rest and a compression garment, with the full contour appearing as swelling fades.
Tummy Tuck explained
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes loose skin and tightens the abdominal wall for a flatter, firmer midsection.
What is a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck removes excess loose skin and fat from the lower abdomen and tightens the underlying muscles, often helpful after significant weight loss or pregnancy when skin and muscle have stretched. It is a contouring procedure, not a weight-loss method.
Is it right for me?
It suits healthy adults at a stable weight with loose abdominal skin or separated muscles who have realistic expectations. Your surgeon assesses your skin, muscle tone and health and explains the technique and resulting scar.
How it's done, step by step
- 1
Consultation & assessment of skin and muscle.
- 2
Anaesthetic: usually general anaesthetic, decided with your surgeon.
- 3
Removal & repair: excess skin is removed and the abdominal muscles are tightened.
- 4
Reshaping & closure: the remaining skin is redraped and closed, with the scar placed low.
- 5
A compression garment is fitted.
What you'll experience
It's planned as a short-stay procedure with a thorough pre-op assessment. Your consultant arranges your stay, garments and recovery support in your language.
Recovery & results timeline
Expect a compression garment, limited bending and several weeks of careful recovery. Swelling settles over a few months, and the scar fades gradually over time.
