Procedure Information |
Is an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) right for me? Sometimes the skin of the abdomen does not shrink back after pregnancy or after losing a lot of weight. You are most likely to benefit from an abdominoplasty if you are self-conscious about what your abdomen looks like. Abdominoplasty is not appropriate for people who are over weight or as an attempt to lose weight. Your Nuffield Health surgeon will carry out a detailed assessment before deciding if tummy tuck surgery is suitable for you. So that you know exactly what to expect from the results of this surgery, we encourage you to share your expectations with your consultant as early as possible. This should help you to establish a clear indication of what is realistically achievable with this procedure. To give yourself time to reach the right decision, you should make sure you leave at least two weeks between your consultation and surgery. Your surgeon may use one of several surgical techniques: This operation is performed under a general anaesthetic and usually takes between 2 - 5 hours. Full abdominoplasty - is suitable if you have a lot of excess skin. Your surgeon will make a curved cut from one hip to the other. They will remove any excess skin and fat. Your surgeon will then cut under the skin above your umbilicus (belly button), pulling it downwards and tightening it. Sometimes they will need to reconstruct your umbilicus and tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall Mini abdominoplasty - is suitable if you only have a little excess skin. Your surgeon will only need to make a small cut just above the pubic area to remove the excess skin Endoscopic abdominoplasty - is suitable if you only need to have the muscles of your abdominal wall tightened. Your surgeon will make small cuts and use special surgical instruments to tighten the muscles. |

Whilst uneasy about using a private facility I cannot fault the experience. Staff are without exception polite, professional and approachable. The facilities are exemplary and immaculately clean and well presented. The service from initial contact was speedily expedited. |

I underwent total knee replacement surgery on two occasions in September 21 and Feb 23 and would like to say that on both occasions the treatment and care I received from the surgeon and nurses was exemplary . My stayin hospital was for 2/3 days and on discharge was given adequate medication and an ice cuff My wound was covered in a waterproof dressing and so was able to shower the day after the operation ,The clips were removed by a nurse at the doctors surgery after 10 days. The followup physio and excercises ensured myknee attained the maximum bend. However not all NHS providers in Plymouth are as helpful . My neighbour had a total knee replacement on 5th May this year. She was discharged the day following the operation with medication but no ice cuff. Her wound has been glued and covered Una waterproof dressing but with instructions not to shower for 2weeks When she rang her surgery for an appointment for the dressing to be changed in 10 daysan appointment was not available and she was told to go to A&E . I feel very fortunate to have attended the Nuffield for my operations and fail to see why other providers are not as effective. |
