What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the underlying muscles. It’s an ideal solution for those who have loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy and want a firmer, more toned abdominal profile.

At La Belle Forme in Glasgow, our experienced surgeons perform tummy tuck procedures in a modern, CQC-registered hospital. With personalised planning and surgical precision, we aim to restore natural contours and boost your body confidence.

What Happens During Surgery?

Your tummy tuck journey starts with a comprehensive consultation to assess your body, goals, and medical history. On surgery day:

  • Anaesthesia is administered to ensure comfort
  • A discreet incision is made, typically along the lower abdomen
  • Excess skin and fat are removed, and abdominal muscles are tightened
  • The remaining skin is repositioned, and the incision is carefully closed
  • A compression garment is applied to aid healing and support the area

It’s a day case procedure. You will be given full recovery instructions after tht procedure.

Is a Tummy Tuck Right for Me?

You may be a good candidate for a tummy tuck if:

  • You have loose or sagging abdominal skin
  • You’ve lost a significant amount of weight
  • You’re post-pregnancy and want to restore firmness
  • You’re in good overall health and a stable weight
  • You have realistic expectations and want long-term improvement

Our team will assess your suitability during your consultation.

  • Flatter, firmer, and more toned abdominal area
  • Removes excess skin and stubborn fat
  • Tightens weakened or separated muscles
  • Enhances confidence and comfort in clothing
  • Long-lasting results with proper care and lifestyle

All surgical procedures carry some level of risk. These may include:

  • Temporary swelling, bruising, or discomfort
  • Numbness in the treated area
  • Scarring (which fades with time and care)
  • Infection or delayed healing (rare with proper aftercare)
  • Fluid build-up beneath the skin

Your surgeon will explain all risks and how we minimise them during your consultation.
