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.
