What is a Tummy Tuck?
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tightening weakened abdominal muscles. It is often considered after weight loss or pregnancy, when the skin and muscles don’t return to their previous firmness despite exercise and diet.
At La Belle Forme in Glasgow, we provide both full and mini abdominoplasty procedures tailored to each individual’s needs. While the surgery can reshape and firm your abdomen, it is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle or weight loss programme.
During your consultation, we will discuss your goals, examine your abdominal area, and recommend a treatment plan that’s safe and suitable for you.
What Happens During Surgery?
- You will be given a general anaesthetic
- A horizontal incision is made above the pubic area
- Excess skin and fat are removed
- The underlying muscles may be repaired and tightened
- A new opening for the belly button is created in full tummy tucks
Your procedure will be performed by experienced surgeons in our HIS-registered surgical facility. Most patients return home the same day or after a short overnight stay, depending on the extent of the surgery.
Is a Tummy Tuck Right for Me?
A tummy tuck may be considered if you:
- Have loose or sagging abdominal skin
- Have separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
- Are close to your ideal weight but bothered by your abdomen’s appearance
- This procedure is not suitable for individuals planning future pregnancies or those seeking significant weight loss through surgery.
- A firmer, flatter abdominal profile
- Improved body contour and posture
- Removal of loose or excess skin
- Strengthening of weakened abdominal muscles
As with any surgery, tummy tuck procedures carry risks such as:
- Swelling, bruising, or scarring
- Infection or delayed healing
- Fluid build-up (seroma)
- Temporary numbness or discomfort
Your surgeon will explain all potential risks during your consultation and take steps to minimise them.
