Confidence in your own skin

Sometimes, loose skin and fat or separated muscles simply cannot be addressed through exercise and dieting alone. Having your tummy tucked is a straightforward cosmetic and restorative surgery that can solve this problem and lead to greater body confidence and functional improvements.

Benefits of an abdominoplasty

If you’re seeking a flatter and more toned abdomen, abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, can be an ideal option. This surgery is ideal for those who have recently undergone significant weight loss, leaving loose skin in various areas across the body. This is also common following pregnancy. An abdominoplasty operation seeks to remove excess skin and fat from the abdominal region while tightening the underlying muscles. The results of this procedure can be transformative, helping individuals regain confidence and core strength and achieve a more sculpted midsection.

At Adnova we also offer plenty of other body procedures, these include Thigh Lift, Labiaplasty, VASERlipo, and Brachioplasty.

Abdominoplasty Before and After

Surgical procedure for a tummy tuck

During an abdominoplasty procedure, the surgeon will make a horizontal incision between the hip bones, allowing for the removal of excess skin and fat. The underlying abdominal muscles are then tightened to restore normal anatomy and create a firmer and more defined waistline. This surgery is often combined with liposuction to further enhance the contours of the abdomen. If you have any questions about abdominoplasty, or any of our other surgical treatment options, don’t hesitate to book a consultation with the Adnova Clinic team.

Our aftercare solutions for abdominoplasty

The results of a tummy tuck can be dramatic and long-lasting. However, the outcomes of the surgery can be compromised without a proper aftercare strategy. It’s important that individuals maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet to help preserve the effects of the surgery. You will be asked to attend follow-up appointments with the surgeon to help ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery.

I took my daughter to Adnova to see Mr Biggs about a nasty hockey injury to her nose. After an excellent consultation, she decided to go ahead with the surgery. On arrival, the Adnova team was incredibly friendly and efficient. She was particularly nervous about the anaesthesia, but her anaesthetist Marcus Fletcher was outstanding with her. His calm manner and gentle confidence was exactly what she needed. We were sent home same day with everything we needed to keep her comfortable at home and the results have been amazing. The piezo method used by Mr Biggs meant that bruising and swelling was limited and her confidence has re-emerged. I had definitely underestimated the incredible effect this kind of surgery can have on self-confidence. I am incredibly grateful to the Adnova team, the amazing Mr Biggs and our unsung hero of the OR, Marcus Fletcher. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Abdominoplasty surgery typically takes place over a large bodily area, and so the total time involved in the recovery process is often around 6 months. Although patients should start to notice good improvement after the 2-3 week mark. 

The exact price will depend on the equipment used, the type of abdominoplasty and any additional fees for a consultation. Check our surgical pricing page for a full breakdown of the costs associated with our treatment options.

Liposuction and abdominoplasty target different concerns. Abdominoplasty removes excess skin and fat while tightening abdominal muscles, making it ideal after pregnancy or significant weight loss. Whereas, liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits but does not address loose skin or weakened muscles. For a detailed comparison, see Abdominoplasty vs. Liposuction: Which Is Suitable for You?.
