Abdominoplasty, more commonly known as a ‘tummy tuck,’ is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen. It is usually carried out alongside liposuction.
It is a very popular cosmetic surgery procedure that can dramatically improve the size and shape of your abdomen. A tummy tuck should be used in conjunction with a balanced diet and exercise to achieve the best results.
There are many reasons why someone may choose to undergo the procedure, such as confidence issues or even discomfort caused by loose skin.
There is a common misconception that an abdominoplasty is only for people who have struggled with weight issues, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Some additional reasons why someone may choose to undergo abdominoplasty include:

The tummy tuck procedure is a type of surgery that can help reshape the abdomen. It can also tighten your abdominal muscles, reduce stretch marks, and remove excess loose skin. The procedure can have striking effects, making a significant difference to the appearance of the abdominal area.
In addition to removing the surplus skin and fat, other procedures may be added as required, including:
A popular question patients have concerning the procedure is, ‘How long does it take to recover from an abdominoplasty?’ It is important to note that Abdominoplasty is a major surgical procedure that can often require weeks or even months to heal fully.
It is also important to note that the procedure may result in some tummy tuck scars, but these will heal and reduce in appearance over time.
These procedures are both done under general anaesthetic and usually last between two and five hours. Once the procedure is complete, you will be required to spend some time at the New Birkdale Clinic to help with proper recovery and reduce the risk of post-operation complications.
A certain degree of scarring is expected with each tummy tuck procedure. However, it is important to note that these scars will fade and improve in appearance over time, and your type of procedure will determine the extent of your scarring.
If you are worried about the appearance of the scars, consulting with the surgeon will help you better understand what to expect and they can advise you on which procedure creates the least scarring.
There are many different types of tummy tuck surgery. Choosing the right type of abdominoplasty can ensure you get the best results from your procedure.

In this form of abdominoplasty, the surgeon removes all the skin and fat from between the pubic bone and the umbilicus.
This leaves the umbilicus itself in place. However, in drawing the skin at the level of the umbilicus down to the pubic level, the umbilicus must be brought through the new skin lying over it.
Consequently, this form of tuck results in a long curved scar at the pubic level, along with a circular scar around the umbilicus.
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and may take up to three hours to perform.
Drains may be used, and you may remain in the hospital for at least one night.
This is a specialised variant of traditional abdominoplasty designed to address significant excess skin and tissue both horizontally and vertically.
Patients who have experienced significant weight loss will usually benefit from a Fleur-des-lis tummy tuck.
This procedure is recommended for patients with excess skin along the waistline and extending vertically. This allows surgeons to remove excess skin and creates a more substantial solution for people with more substantially sagging skin.
A Fleur-de-lis tummy tuck is a transformative solution for patients looking for comprehensive abdominal contouring.
In a modified abdominoplasty, only the excess skin above the pubic bone is removed. In this case, the umbilicus remains undisturbed.
Modified abdominoplasty allows for a more personalised and targeted contouring of the abdominal region.
This makes it a versatile option if you don’t require a full abdominoplasty or have unique anatomical considerations.
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia, takes sixty to ninety minutes, and is occasionally done as a day case.
However, most patients will stay in our hospital overnight.
Apronectomy is a form of modified mini-tuck, in which you may have a large excess of skin and fat (the apron) hanging down over the pubic area and genitals. It is this surplus of tissue that is removed. Again, the umbilicus is undisturbed. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia, taking up to two hours to perform.
In this more radical extensive procedure, the incision is continued around the waist and onto the back. Surplus skin and fat are removed from this wider area around the flanks, resulting in a longer scar.
As with the standard abdominoplasty (of which this is a modification), the umbilicus must be brought through the skin, resulting in a scar around it.
The procedure is again performed under general anaesthesia and may take more than three to five hours to perform, especially as you have to be turned during surgery.
You will need to remain in hospital for at least one night.
In this procedure, the surgeon uses an endoscope to tighten the abdominal wall muscles.
It is generally best suited to younger patients who may have only a moderate degree of muscle laxity, small localised fat deposits in the lower abdomen, and only a minimal amount of surplus skin.
