Understanding the treatment
What Is a
Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, removes excess skin and selected fat from the abdomen. When appropriate, it can also tighten the tissue covering separated abdominal muscles. The operation is designed to improve the abdominal contour, particularly when loose skin remains after pregnancy or a significant change in weight.
It is not a weight-loss operation and does not remove fat around internal organs. A mini or full procedure may be discussed depending on the location and extent of the concern. Your surgeon will explain the likely scar, whether muscle repair is appropriate, and the recovery required for the proposed operation.
Is it right for you?
Start with
your concern
—not a
treatment
package.
Your consultation explores what is bothering you, whether this treatment fits your needs, and when another option may be more appropriate.
THIS MAY BE WORTH EXPLORING IF
I have loose tummy skin after pregnancy.
My weight has settled, but excess skin still folds over my waistband.
I would like a smoother abdominal outline in clothes.
My abdomen still protrudes, and I want to understand whether muscle separation contributes.
I can arrange support and take sufficient time to recover.
If you are planning pregnancy or substantial weight loss, delaying surgery is often sensible; recent childbirth, ongoing breastfeeding, or health concerns need individual assessment.
What may improve
Benefits connected
to your goals.
Less excess skin.
Surgery can remove a defined area of loose abdominal tissue that exercise cannot remove.
A smoother profile.
Skin removal and, where appropriate, muscle-covering tissue repair can improve contour.
More comfortable clothing.
Reducing skin folds may help waistbands and fitted clothing sit more comfortably.
A plan for your anatomy.
The extent of treatment can be discussed around the actual distribution of skin excess and your goals.

Your personalised quote reflects the extent of skin removal, any muscle repair, anaesthesia, facility needs, and planned hospital care. Additional procedures are assessed and priced separately where appropriate.
Request a clear breakdown of tests, garments, medicines, scheduled reviews, and potential additional care. The consultation helps you understand the financial and recovery commitments before deciding.

Frequently asked questions
Liposuction treats selected fat deposits; a tummy tuck removes excess skin and may include repair of muscle-covering tissue. Examination establishes the cause of your concern and whether either procedure is appropriate.
Only stretch marks located on skin that is removed may be eliminated. Those outside the removed area remain, although their position or appearance may change.
A full tummy tuck generally leaves a low abdominal scar and a scar around the belly button. Length and placement depend on the skin excess and operation; your surgeon should show you the proposed locations.
Future pregnancy can stretch the tissues again and change the result. If pregnancy is planned, postponing surgery is often advised; discuss your circumstances before deciding.
Arrange help because lifting and abdominal strain are restricted during early healing. Return depends on the operation and your recovery, often after several weeks and only with surgical clearance.
