What Is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck is a popular surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdominal area while tightening weakened abdominal muscles.

The standard tummy tuck procedure can help improve:

  • Loose abdominal skin and sagging skin
  • Excess skin and fat after weight loss
  • Stretch marks on the lower abdomen
  • Separated abdominal muscles
  • A protruding abdomen caused by weakened abdominal wall support

Patients in London looking to undergo abdominoplasty usually do so to target the skin that impacts their confidence. By undergoing a tummy tuck, you may regain the flat tummy you have been yearning for.

Who May Benefit From Abdominoplasty?

If you are considering abdominoplasty, then it is important to know whether or not it would be suitable for you. Ultimately, if you have loose skin or changes to the abdominal wall, then it would be worth going for the treatment.

The loose skin may happen following:

  • Significant weight loss
  • Pregnancy
  • Weight fluctuations
  • Natural changes in skin elasticity
  • Previous abdominal changes

In cases where you are at a healthy weight but have extra skin that does not respond to diet and exercise, then a tummy tuck could be an ideal solution to your problems.

What Does Tummy Tuck Surgery Involve?

The surgery is quite comfortable as it is performed under general anaesthesia and by a world-renowned plastic surgeon, Mr Ioannis Goutos.

During the surgery, he will:

  • Remove excess skin
  • Tighten underlying muscles
  • Reshape the abdominal area

The necessary incision for the surgery is placed low on the abdomen near the bikini line or pubic area to minimise visible scarring, and the belly button is repositioned for a natural appearance.

Depending on the complexity of your surgery, it can usually take around 2-3 hours to complete.

Recovery and aftercare

We strongly advise taking a couple of weeks off work post-surgery, depending on the job you have, and avoiding strenuous exercise for roughly 6-8 weeks.

To help the recovery:

  • Wear a compression garment to support healing
  • Follow pain management guidance, including over-the-counter painkillers if needed
  • Arrange for a friend or family member to help after surgery

Some swelling, discomfort, and temporary visible scarring are normal during the healing process, so do not panic. As a note, if you do feel overwhelming levels of pain, or feel anxious about something, then please do not hesitate to contact our clinic. 

Risks and considerations

It is impossible to guarantee a risk-free invasive surgery, and a tummy tuck is no different.

Some of the risks with this procedure include:

  • Blood clots or deep vein thrombosis
  • Infection or delayed healing
  • Changes in skin elasticity
  • Scarring around the lower abdomen

At Goutos London, we provide a full physical examination and consultation with our experienced team to ensure less likelihood of these risks.

What About a Mini Abdominoplasty

A mini tummy tuck, sometimes called mini abdominoplasty, focuses on the lower abdomen below the belly button.

This procedure may be more suitable for selected patients who have a relatively small amount of loose skin, particularly around the lower abdomen.

Once you come in for your consultation, Mr Ioannis Goutos will be able to determine the best treatment plan for your desired results.

Can Abdominoplasty Remove Stretch Marks and Excess Fat?

Removing stretch marks and excess fat are potential by-products of the tummy tuck surgery, but they are not the primary goals. This surgery will likely provide you with the desired outcome for stretch marks and definitely shouldn’t be viewed as a substitute for weight loss.

Choosing an Abdominoplasty Surgeon in London

For patients looking for a trusted plastic surgeon, it is important to find someone who is truly a master of their craft, like Mr Ioannis Goutos.

From the moment you arrive for your consultation to the moment you are at home recovering, you will feel well-cared for and confident you made the right choice.

Mr Goutos performed keloidectomy surgery on both my earlobes, and I am so grateful to have been referred to him. From the first consultation, through surgery, and now my 3-month follow-up, I have nothing but good words to say.

This man is an extremely intelligent, professional gentleman. He will set realistic expectations from the beginning and will not ‘beat around the bush’ so-to speak. From the initial consultation to post-surgery, it has been a rollercoaster ride. However the high level of expertise & professionalism Mr Goutos maintained has been impeccable. All I can say to any other individual considering treatment with Mr Goutos, is that you are in incredibly safe hands. And on top of this, he has a great sense of humour. I wish nothing but the best for this man, and the best results for his future patients.

Mr. Goutos and his team did an amazing job reversing a scar I had on my forehead. This was a very old scar and had bothered for many years. The laser treatment and fat transfer procedure has changed my life and given me so much confidence. I would definitely recommend him, he is a fantastic and very skilled surgeon. Thank you so much!

Mr Goutos and his team removed some lipomas from my arms. The initial consultation right through to the aftercare was professional, sensitive and genuine. Mr Goutos put me at ease right from the start, discussing my history and background and then discussing the various options for the incisions and sutures. The incisions were quick, efficient and professional. I felt completely at ease knowing I was in expert hands. The incisions were extremely neat and have closed and scared really well. I had a number of questions after the operation and one of the sutures became infected. Mr Goutos was quick to make an appointment for me, see me and deal with the infection and offered for me to see him again if the infection didn’t calm down. He was genuinely empathetic to my needs and took time to check each scare, explain things and assure me along the way. He didn’t at any point, make me feel I was asking silly questions or too many. I highly recommend Mr Goutos for his exceptional incisions and suturing as well as his professional conduct, caring approach and after care. The whole experience was smooth and easy and I am very grateful for what he has done for me.

We came to see Dr Goutos a few month ago to remove invasive spider nevus on my 9 year old sons nose . After a lovely consultation with Dr Goutos , he suggested to do several laser treatment sessions. After a few sessions we already noticed a massive improvement. On the final laser treatment session the spider nevus was completely gone. Thank you to the Dr Goutos for tackling the problem so rapidly and with great results!

We took our 4yr old daughter to Mr Goutos following an accident which resulted in a small burn scar on her cheek. Mr Goutos gave us various options and we went for laser treatment. After 4 appointments the scar has gone! The care that Mr Goutos gave us was exceptional and so good with children. He made us feel very comfortable and confident in his ability. I would recommend him to anyone if they were looking for a doctor in that particular field. Can't thank him enough.
