This website contains surgical content only suitable for audiences 18+. The displayed before and after pictures are provided as an educational tool to demonstrate some of the results achievable from plastic surgery.

Results may vary due to many factors including an individual's genetics and lifestyle. All surgery carries risks and requires recovery time.
Abdominoplasty, commonly referred to as a tummy tuck, is a common plastic surgical procedure. The tummy tuck procedure is designed first and foremost to remove excess overhanging skin around the stomach, typically experienced after massive weight changes. These body changes are most often caused by significant weight loss or going through multiple pregnancies which causes the skin around the stomach to be stretched significantly, including damage to the abdominal wall muscles.
There are three layers to the abdominal wall that need to be reconstructed in an abdominoplasty; the skin, the fatty tissue and the underlying muscle. Whether it’s due to pregnancy, or the effects of massive weight changes, the issues are similar. All of these layers are stretched, weakened or increased in size, resulting in an altered state. The surgery involves reconstructing each of these layers in a customised manner to achieve an optimal outcome.
The scar for a tummy tuck is typically hidden low on your belly and can be concealed with normal underwear.
The required time off work after Abdominoplasty depends on the type of procedure you’ve had and the work you do. As a guideline, you should avoid driving for the first two weeks. After two weeks, you can consider returning to work-from-home office-based duties. After three weeks, returning to an office-based environment may be possible. Light hospitality work may be possible after four weeks. By six weeks, you should be able to resume normal, strenuous activities. However, you will still feel sore and not entirely back to normal. You can easily participate in various activities, though, provided you use common-sense caution.
Most people remain in hospital after Abdominoplasty surgery for at least two days. However, many choose to stay for up to one week.
Recovering from Abdominoplasty takes time. By six weeks, you’ll be able to return to normal activities gradually, but you won’t feel 100 per cent yet. Most of your swelling, pains and tightness should have resolved by six months. By this time, you’ll likely think that you’ve returned to normal and forgotten you’ve had surgery—except for the fact that you now look quite different.
Yes, it is possible to have a baby after a Tummy Tuck as the procedure does not affect fertility. However, it may hinder the results of your surgery as a new pregnancy may cause skin laxity, muscle separation and potential hernias. Ideally, it’s best to wait until you’ve finished having children before electing to have Abdominoplasty surgery.
A Tummy Tuck can remove most, if not all, of the lower abdominal wall stretch marks.
