Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck, also known as a abdominoplasty, involves removing fat and excess skin as well tightening the muscles in the tummy area.Factors such as natural ageing, weight loss and pregnancy can cause a build up of excess skin and damaged the abdominal muscles. Tummy Tuck’s can resolve any excess flesh issues by removing such skin and fat, repairing any weak muscles and tightening the remaining skin.

This surgery is suitable for both men and women, and can compliment other surgical procedures such as breast uplift, breast augmentation, male breast reduction, thigh lifts and many more.

What is a tummy tuck?

A Tummy Tuck can be one of two procedures, a Full tummy tuck or a mini tummy tuck. The differences are explained below

Full Tummy Tuck

A Full tummy tuck involves an incision being made across the lower tummy, usually from hip to hip and then another around the belly button. Once the skin has been separated from the abdominal wall the muscles are then tightened and fat and excess skin removed. The belly button is then repositioned and the incisions stitched. 

Mini Tummy Tuck

A mini tummy tuck is much less invasive and involves an incision being made across the lower tummy, the skin separated from the abdominal wall, excess skin and fat being cut away and then the incision stitched. With a mini tummy tuck the tummy muscles and belly button are left in situ.

Both the full and mini tummy tuck are carried out under general anaesthetic and can take between 2 and 4 hours.
