We understand that surgery can be a cause of anxiety that’s why our experienced and caring medical staff will be there for you every step of the way.
During the operation you will be put under a general anaesthetic. There are several types of tummy tuck and your doctor will help you choose the one thats right for you:

Mini abdominoplasty
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 and your belly button won’t be disturbed. This usually takes about an hour.

Endoscopic abdominoplasty
This may be the best option 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. This procedure usually takes around an hour.

Full abdominoplasty
This is the best option if you have a lot of excess skin. A cut will be made between the hips, fat may be removed using liposuction, your belly button will be freed and loose muscles pulled and stitched together. Sometimes the doctor will need to reconstruct your belly button and tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. This usually takes around two hours.

The amount of scarring you are left with will depend on your skin type, overall health and the type of procedure you have but abdominal scars can normally be hidden well beneath the bikini line.

You will usually stay in hospital from one to four nights, though many people only need to stay in for a night.
