With a tummy tuck, specialist surgeons will remove the extra skin and fat from your lower abdomen, leaving you with a flatter, more defined stomach. This new contour is also likely to allow you to wear things you wouldn’t previously have dared.

Reducing the skin fat on your abdomen and tightening the abdominal wall muscles – to correct a wide six-pack or counter the effects of childbirth – is carried out under general anaesthetic by an experienced plastic surgeon who will tailor the procedure to your individual requirements.

When the skin and fat of the lower abdomen are removed, a scar is left along the panty line. (in most cases)

Occasionally though, a scar may rise higher if an improved waist is required. A small scar is also left around the belly button area, but don’t worry, they tend to disappear within 12 months of having surgery.
