What is a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck is a 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

Also referred to as an abdominoplasty, this popular surgery offers many benefits. Ultimately, it can make a profound difference to your self-confidence and give you back the flat tummy you have been yearning for.

Types of tummy tuck procedures

At Goutos London, we offer a couple of versions of abdominoplasty surgery, which target excess skin and fat in slightly different ways and areas.

Mini tummy tuck

A mini tummy tuck, sometimes called mini abdominoplasty, focuses on the lower abdomen below the belly button. This type of surgery is perfect for those with excess skin and fat below the belly button area. 

Full tummy tuck

A full abdominoplasty treats the entire abdominal wall, including tightening stomach muscles and removing excess abdominal skin from the middle and lower abdomen.

 This is a more complete treatment plan, and requires longer for recovery.

 This procedure removes excess skin in all areas of the abdomen and ensures the entire stomach area has been tightened.

So, before you decide on the type of treatment you need, please speak to our team at Goutos London, who can check the excess skin removal you need, plus determine if you have loose abdominal muscles, and guide you in the best way possible.

Who is a good candidate?

There are many things to consider before deciding if you are a suitable candidate for our tummy tuck London treatment.

All we can tell you prior to a consultation is that tummy tuck surgery is typically performed on patients who:

  • Are at a healthy weight
  • Have loose skin after significant weight loss
  • Experience skin irritation from skin folds
  • Want to improve body confidence and achieve a more defined waistline
  • Are not planning future pregnancies

It is important to stress that this is not a weight loss solution, nor is it going to mean you won’t gain weight again. 

It is a perfect option for those who need a helping hand to finalise the good work they have already done for themselves.

That’s why maintaining a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet before and after surgery is important for long-term results.

What happens during surgery?

The surgery is quite comfortable as it is performed under general anaesthesia.

 During surgery, Mr Ioannis Goutos will remove excess skin, tighten underlying muscles, and reshape the abdominal area, leaving you with a desired look.

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

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

Recovery and aftercare

Recovery after undergoing abdominoplasty varies, but most patients require a few weeks to heal comfortably. A general rule of thumb is to take a couple of weeks off before returning to work, depending on the job you do, obviously. For more strenuous activities, you will need roughly 6-8 weeks.

In other words, no abseiling, sky jumping or rock climbing for a little while.

The good news is that there are things you can do to help the healing process, such as:

  • 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. 

If at any point the pain gets unbearable, or you feel something is not quite right, then please do not hesitate to contact our clinic. 

The chances of this are very low, but you need to know that Goutos London, our helpful team, is always available to you.

Risks and considerations

As with any weight loss procedure or cosmetic surgery, tummy tuck surgery carries some risks. These can include:

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

Once again, we want to stress the low likelihood of these scenarios, but nonetheless, they are possibilities, especially if you do not use a highly skilled plastic surgeon like Mr Goutos.

At Goutos London, we like to do a full physical examination and consultation with our experienced plastic surgeon, which will alleviate many risks in advance.

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.
