Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

Abdominoplasty surgery/ tummy tuck is a surgical procedure to remove extra skin, scars, stretch marks and fat from the tummy and in some cases to tighten the tummy muscles. They are carried out under a general anaesthetic and the operation usually takes about three hours. When you wake up from your procedure you may have a drip to give you fluid while you are not drinking. You might be given antibiotics to keep the wound clean. Also, you may have drainage tubes in your lower tummy to drain away any fluid or blood. These tubes will be removed when the fluid or blood has stopped draining, usually a day or two after the surgery. You may feel uncomfortable after the procedure, but painkillers would be provided.

After a face to face consultation, The surgeon will make any necessary notes like illness you may have. They will also make a record of any medication you are on. During the consultation Your stomach will be examined as well as your height and weight to make sure that it is safe to do an operation. If you are overweight, pregnant or planning to become pregnant, it is best to delay the decision as it Amy unsafe to do so.

Standard Tummy Tuck

This is the most common type of tummy tuck. We make a cut across the body from one hip to the other and around the belly button, The excess skin and fat are removed from just above the pubic hair up to the belly button. And the muscles above and below the belly button are tightened.

After a tummy tuck, patients can expect a flatter and more toned-looking midsection, which can boost their confidence and self-esteem. It is important to note that a tummy tuck is not a substitute for weight loss or a healthy lifestyle, but rather a way to remove stubborn pockets of fat and excess skin that may not respond to diet and exercise. Recovery time for a tummy tuck can vary, but most patients can return to work and normal activities within a few weeks, with full recovery taking several months. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks and potential complications associated with a tummy tuck, so it is important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine if it is the right option for you.

Mini Tummy Tuck

A mini tummy tuck is a popular option for individuals who have a small amount of excess skin and fat in the lower abdominal area. This procedure is less invasive than a full tummy tuck and may be suitable for patients who have already achieved their desired weight but still have stubborn pockets of fat or loose skin in the lower abdomen.

During a mini tummy tuck, a small incision is made in the lower abdomen, and excess skin and fat are removed. In some cases, the muscles in the lower abdomen are also tightened to create a flatter and more toned appearance. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and may take around 1-2 hours to complete.

One of the benefits of a mini tummy tuck is that it requires less downtime and recovery than a full tummy tuck. Most patients can return to work and normal activities within a week or two after the procedure. However, it is important to note that the results of a mini tummy tuck may be less dramatic than a full tummy tuck, and may not be suitable for patients who have a significant amount of excess skin or fat in the abdominal area.

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks and potential complications associated with a mini tummy tuck, such as bleeding, infection, or scarring. It is important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine if a mini tummy tuck is the right option for your individual needs and goals.

Fleur de Lis Tummy Tuck

The Fleur-de-Lis tummy tuck, also known as an inverted-T tummy tuck, is a specialized form of abdominoplasty that is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, as well as reshape the belly button. This procedure is particularly effective for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and are left with large amounts of excess skin and fat in the abdominal area.

During a Fleur-de-Lis tummy tuck, a horizontal incision is made across the lower abdomen, as well as a vertical incision in the midline of the abdomen. This technique allows for removal of a significant amount of excess skin and fat, resulting in a flatter and more toned-looking midsection. The belly button is also reshaped and repositioned to create a more natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

One of the benefits of the Fleur-de-Lis tummy tuck is that it can be customized to suit the individual needs and goals of each patient. This procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and may take several hours to complete, depending on the extent of the surgery.

Recovery time for a Fleur-de-Lis tummy tuck can vary, but most patients can return to work and normal activities within several weeks, with full recovery taking several months. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks and potential complications associated with a Fleur-de-Lis tummy tuck, such as bleeding, infection, or scarring. It is important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine if a Fleur-de-Lis tummy tuck is the right option for your individual needs and goals.

OUR TESTIMONIALS

Dr. Davide is the best surgeon I have ever had the pleasure of coming across. His work is phenomenal. Listened to everything I wanted & received exactly what I wanted. I am only 1 day post OP so I’m definitely excited for the later results. Would 100% recommend this surgeon & the clinic I received the surgery at. The PA Claire was amazing, so very helpful and was on hand at any time of day if I had any questions. Lovely lady and lovely staff in theatre especially the anaesthetist Dr.Baskaran put me at ease straight away and looked after me so well.

I cannot express my love and appreciation enough for Dr Davide and Clare.
The two surgeries I’ve had with them have been pain free, breast augmentation and a full tummy tuck, faultless and they provided with me with fantastic, actually better than expected results!
From the original consultation to aftercare!
I won’t go anywhere else and I even recommended my own mother who has also gone on to have surgery with them, with the same amazing results!
