Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
What is the difference between a tummy tuck and liposuction?
Liposuction removes fat only; a tummy tuck also removes excess skin and repairs separated abdominal muscles. If you have loose skin or muscle separation, liposuction alone will not be enough.
Where is the scar and does it fade?
The scar is placed low on the abdomen so it hides under underwear. It stays permanent but fades over months up to a year with good care and sun protection.
When should I have it after childbirth or bariatric surgery?
Ideally once your weight has been stable for several months and no near-term pregnancy is planned, because pregnancy or major weight change afterwards affects the result.
How long is the recovery?
The first week is the hardest, with tightness and a slightly bent posture. Most people return to desk work in about two weeks, and to full exertion once the doctor agrees.
