Tummy Tuck Surgery (Abdominoplasty)

An abdominoplasty surgery, more commonly known as a tummy tuck surgery, is a surgical procedure that is specifically designed to give your abdomen a smoother and firmer appearance. The surgery itself generally involves the tightening of the abdominal muscles and the removal of excess fat and loose skin that is difficult to get rid of by simply exercising alone. Over the years, we have found that there are two main causes for patients looking to have an abdominoplasty. Generally, we have found that anyone who has had a significant amount of weight loss opt for a tummy tuck surgery to help them to deal with the excess skin left behind and any stubborn fat that remains after their weight change. Specifically in women, the period after childbirth can often leave them unhappy and uncomfortable with how their body looks and if they are struggling to get their pre-pregnancy body back, a tummy tuck surgery is often the first choice. When considering opting for an abdominoplasty surgery, it’s important to consider your other options first as abdominoplasty is often considered to be the last option. However, if you want a smoother, firmer and flatter abdomen then it is definitely worth considering abdominoplasty surgery.

Why choose tummy tuck surgery?

Individuals might consider a tummy tuck surgery for various reasons. Chief among these is the desire for a flatter, firmer, and more toned abdominal area, especially when exercise and dietary efforts have proven futile in achieving the desired contour. Tummy tuck surgery can also be appealing for those looking to improve the fit and look of their clothing, boosting their self-confidence and comfort in their body. Moreover, tummy tucks might be beneficial in restoring weakened or separated abdominal muscles, often a post-pregnancy concern.

How does a tummy tuck surgery work?

The surgical process begins with an incision made from one hipbone to the other, allowing for the removal of excess fat and skin from the middle and lower abdomen. The abdominal muscles are then tightened using sutures to provide a more contoured appearance. In some cases, the procedure might be more extensive or minimal, depending on the amount of fat and skin to be removed, which is why there are variations like the “mini” tummy tuck.

What are the results like?

Post-surgery, patients can expect a smoother, firmer, and more aesthetically pleasing abdominal profile. The outcome includes a slimmer overall appearance, especially in the midsection, which can significantly enhance the way clothing fits and looks. Over time, the surgery aims to provide lasting results, granting individuals a renewed sense of confidence and satisfaction with their body appearance.

This surgical procedure is a significant step towards achieving the body contour that resonates with personal aesthetic goals, especially for individuals who have exhausted other conventional methods like exercise and dietary control. The tummy tuck surgery, although invasive, offers a viable solution to obtaining a flatter and well-toned abdomen, improving not only one’s physical appearance but also their overall self-esteem and comfort in their body.

Anyone wanting any kind of surgery, I would definitely recommend better body’s. I had a full tummy tuck 9 weeks ago and I’m absolutely over the moon with the results.

David McDermott

From an internet search to hair transplant. The process has been smooth and explained thoroughly from start to finish.

Leah Houghton

Searching for a surgeon I went to quite a few consultations and chatted with many surgery organisers and better body was by far the one for me. Lyndsay has been fantastic from the start.

Richard Tawn

I’ve just had my transplant and I am very pleased with the process, I was looked after well and have received a post op care pack and check-in from the organiser.

World class treatment from a world class clinic cannot speak highly enough of these people from top to bottom. A procedure which has transformed my life and confidence all for the better.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I lose weight before a tummy tuck?

In short, the answer is yes. A lot of people confuse a tummy tuck surgery with liposuction or a gastric bypass and isn’t a treatment designed to help you lose weight. In fact, a tummy tuck surgery is performed to help you get rid of any excess skin and fatty deposits following weight loss.

Will I be in pain after a tummy tuck surgery?

Immediately following your surgery your abdomen will be sore to touch and may cause you some discomfort when you’re moving, as well as showing signs of bruising and swelling for a few weeks following the procedure.

How long does a tummy tuck surgery take?

An abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgery is carried out under general anaesthetic and usually takes around three hours although this is entirely down to the individual patient and their requirements.

Who can have a tummy tuck surgery?

It’s a type of surgery that can be performed on both men and women as long as they fall into the criteria of patient who is suitable to have the treatment performed. Although it involves removing some excess fat and skin, it isn’t a suitable treatment for patients who are looking for a way to quickly lose weight.

What happens following a tummy tuck?

Following the operation, we recommend getting as much rest as possible and if you do need to move, it’s important to avoid putting any stress on the muscles in your abdomen. One of the most important things is ensuring that you don’t try to do too much too soon until you are feeling comfortable and the pain is starting to ease. Our surgeon will carry out a check on the wound a couple of weeks following the procedure to ensure it is healing correctly, but if you have any concerns we advise seeking advice immediately.

When can I go back to work after a tummy tuck?

This one is a little more difficult to answer as it varies depending on the job and the recovery of the individual patient. For example, working in an office environment is typically much less strenuous than working within a factory and in this case you would probably be able to go back to work much earlier, though we do recommend taking a break from work for at least 2 or 3 weeks following the surgery.

When will I see the results of my tummy tuck?

There will be an instant visible improvement following your surgery, but it can take up to 6 months following your surgery before you see the best results.
