What is tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)?
A tummy tuck removes excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen and, if needed, repairs abdominal muscles that have separated after pregnancy (diastasis recti). The belly button is repositioned. A mini tummy tuck treats only the area below the belly button. It is often combined with liposuction.
How is tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) done?
- Consultation and planning
- Surgery under general anaesthesia
- Removing excess skin and fat through a low incision
- Tightening the abdominal muscles
- Repositioning the belly button, drains and compression garment
Who is tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) suitable for?
- People with loose abdominal skin after pregnancy or major weight loss
- People with separated abdominal muscles
- People whose weight has been stable; those planning future pregnancies are advised to wait
Aftercare: what to watch out for
- Walk slightly bent forward for the first days.
- Wear the compression garment and do not lift anything heavy for 4–6 weeks.
- Do not smoke; it seriously impairs wound healing.
- Protect the scar from the sun for a year.
Possible side effects and risks
- A long permanent scar low on the abdomen
- Fluid collection (seroma)
- Delayed wound healing, especially in smokers
- Numbness of the lower abdomen

Are there alternatives?
Liposuction alone may be enough when skin elasticity is good. Core exercises can improve mild muscle separation.
